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.

i will give it a try

They still need lots of exercise using their claws. If you just stop them
with the tape, they will need to get that exercise some other way. Don't
just treat the symptom.
