Cat Claws
hi, i have got two kittens and i have a problem. They keep scratching and damaging my furniture. I recently bought a scratch post but it seems it isnt working. Can someone tell me any other ways to get them to stop damaging my furniture?

Keep the tips of their claws clipped & when they start using furniture as a scratching post pick them up tell them no & put them to where they can,if you didn't have the scratch post when they first came you have already got to re educate them,having more than one post could help & even covered in a different fabric as they may like the feel of one more than the other to claw at.I don't think any furniture can ever be 100% safe when you have cats but hopefully it can be pretty near,good luck with your babes & photos please...

Good advice, and you could also try along with the above, a cat attracting spray on the scratch post, like catnip spray, and a cat repelling spray on the furniture, like lemon juice possibly diluted with a drop of water? Or cover the furniture temporarily with something they cannot scratch, just while the training period is going on. Like a sheet of plastic film? Might not look great for a while, but better than shredded furniture.
