https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Cat-Clawing-Sofa-Help/m-p/71141#M40746 <P>Hey there. Just posted this over in Pet Lovers, but not sure how many read/post over there, so thought I would try here too. Wanted to see if any folks here could share ideas on how to get my cat to stop clawing the sofa.</P> <P>Maybe this topic has been discussed in the past, I went back a few pages to find something, but gave up and am posting a new discussion.</P> <P>My cat is about 10 years old. He has always clawed the the sofa and chair, and now both need to be replaced. I found a set that I like, but it is rather expensive. I hate to spend this kind of money, knowing that i may need to replace again in a few years. I would like to find a way to get my little guy to stop clawing the furniture!!</P> <P>I had a post for him a few years ago, but he never paid any attention to it, and eventually I threw it out. I currently have a little mat that has that scratchy material, but he doesnt scratch it. He just lays on it, hahaha. I actually moved it in front of my fireplace, and he lays there and gets warm. Loves it, but doesnt use it as intended. So frustrating!!</P> <P>Are there any products available that I can buy that you have had success with? Maybe soemthing I can put on the furniture to deter him from scrathing? Do you think putting double sided tape on the corners of everything will help? Is there something I can do to work on training him better? I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks.</P> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:12:04 GMT Lynnj 2011-04-17T20:12:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Cat-Clawing-Sofa-Help/m-p/71141#M40746 <P>Hey there.
