Human: What is the best way to keep my cat from scratching my couch? Assistant: 
The best way to keep your cat from scratching your couch is to place double-sided sticky tape on the couch, and then put down a scratching post or mat near the couch. Make sure that the post or mat is high enough for your cat to easily reach it without having to jump up too high. You can also try covering the couch with an anti-scratch material such as nylon or leather. Finally, make sure you provide plenty of interactive toys so your cat has something else to do besides scratch the couch.
