1. Place some obstacles next to the furniture it scratches, or spray the smell it doesn’t like on the furniture, such as fragrances and other products, so that It hates this furniture. A more positive method is to scare the cat away with the sound of a siren when it is grinding the furniture, so that it will have bad feelings and experiences when scratching the furniture. It only takes one or two times to make the cat never want to touch the furniture again, but Don't let it find out that the sound is related to you, otherwise it will be afraid of you instead of the furniture.

2. If your cat likes catnip, you can sprinkle catnip on the cat scratching board.

3. If your cat really doesn’t like using scratching posts, you can try using wood instead of scratching posts.

4. Place a fluffy toy on the top of the scratching board and hang it with a rope, because the shaking toys can attract cats to play, so the cat will slowly fall in love with the scratching post.

5. Moving the cat’s claws to the furniture it likes to scratch can reduce the risk of the cat scratching the furniture.

6. Making the edges of the cat scratching post velvet can increase the cat’s desire to scratch.

7. Trim its nails often.

8. Place the cat scratching post in the place it likes, such as where it eats, plays and eats cat snacks.

There is always one that it likes to scratch. Once you find something your cat likes to use to sharpen its claws, it’s not too late to train it.
