My Cat vs. My Couch: Who Will Win?
Let’s be real: my cat thinks my couch is her personal gym, spa, and billboard. She’s not out to destroy my life—she’s just being a cat, stretching, marking territory, and sharpening those murder mittens. But my furniture? It’s not having a good time.
Here’s what actually worked: I bought scratching posts in every shape and size (vertical, horizontal, you name it). I put them right next to her favorite crime scenes. I even rubbed catnip on them like a desperate chef seasoning a bland dish. When she used the post, I acted like she’d solved world peace. When she went for the couch, I hit her with a firm “NO!” and redirected her, no drama. Double-sided tape and plastic covers? Ugly, but effective.
Trim those claws, never declaw (seriously, don’t), and accept that you’re now living in a cat’s world. You’re just renting the furniture.
