I totally agree with "buglady" in that you need to provide clawing
exercise. You can use lumber or trees or whatever. Make some major stuff
that they can climb on. Cats love to climb and they need the exercise.
If they have enough exercise like that, they won't shred stuff.

But if that fails... Use upside down packaging tape. After the second or
third contact, they will stop doing it. It's very useful as a barrier to
places they should not be. And you get to play the good guy by removing
it. Kills two birds with one stone.
