Why does my cat scratch the furniture, and how to make it stop?
You can’t stop scratching (it’s hardwired) but you can redirect it. The post, the placement and the transition that work.

Are vertical or horizontal scratchers better?
Depends on your cat. Watch where she scratches now. Most homes need one of each.

My cat won’t use the scratching post — what do I do?
Usually wrong post, wrong place, or both. The four-part diagnostic: orientation, substrate, height, location.

Where should I put a scratching post?
Next to wherever she’s already scratching, not across the room. Why proximity matters more than aesthetics.
