Disciplining a cat for scratching furniture can be tricky, as cats typically respond best to positive reinforcement. One way is to use cat spray or wipes scented with calming pheromones and reward your cat when it sniffs them rather than scratching the furniture. You can also provide distractions by placing attractive toys or treats around the house and provide training treats whenever your cat refrains from its destructive behavior. Finally, you can provide extra playtime to keep your pet entertained and distracted.

The best way to discipline a cat that scratches furniture is to redirect their behavior by providing them with alternatives. You can try providing your cat with more opportunities to scratch, such as a sisal rug or a scratching post. Rewarding good behavior with treats and praise will also encourage your cat to keep the good habits, while making sure that you provide enough interactive playtime which can reduce stress and boredom.
