How do we keep our cats from scratching our furniture?

Posted by admin
Earthling asked:


My wife and I recently moved into a new apartment and bought new furniture over the weekend. Is there some kind of concoction that I can make from home products to spray under and on the base of our new bed and sofa to keep our two cats from scratching them. We are afraid of discoloring the furniture. Our last apartment had a huge veranda on the third floor, so they were always out there scratching on the old wicker furniture. Any other ideas that have worked for you? Thanks
