Not all cats are well-behaved and obedient, in the face of destroying furniture and mischievous cats, many times the owner has a headache, in fact, cats and dogs are the same, the owner can be properly trained.
We can not expect to be able to train cats like dogs. Unlike dogs, cats constitute society by respecting their respective territories, not by respecting the alpha dog as dogs do. So if you try to condition cats by relying on your superiority or intimidation, you’ll only make them resent you more and avoid you, and won’t change their behavior at all.
Cats love to sharpen their claws on furniture, especially on furniture made of leather, velvet and rubber, and tend to toss such furniture around and make a mess of it! But cats’ claws are particularly repulsed and disgusted by tinfoil and double-sided adhesive paper surfaces. Stick these papers to the surfaces of furniture that cats often like to sharpen and have a cedar scratching board ready for them, and your expensive and beloved furniture will be spared the torture!
