Try putting a scratching post right next to where he scratches the chair,
covering where he tries to scratch. I had a cat that liked to scratch the
furniture. I had bought a new couch and he started in on the side of the
couch. I covered the area with heavy plastic (see-through so it didn't look
too bad) and that helped deter my cat from clawing there. You could try
that too.

Please don't deepsix him.

Can anyone help me about a serious clawing problem. We have 2 cats one is
very young about 1yr the other is about 10yrs. The older one has destroyed
2 couches and 1 chair. The younger GiGi uses the clawing post. The older
Chance will not he chooses the furniture instead. How can I get him to
stop. My fiancé went ahead against my better judgment and bought new couch
and chair. Chance has started on the chair. What can I do to stop him
short of the deepsix.
