OUr 3 1/2 yr old female cat will have nothing to do with the scratching post, instead loves to pull at the couch corner or tug on our new carpeting.This is even after having her nails clipped.We can't babysit her all day. We're told she's too old to get declawed, any suggestions??


well, as some cats like to claw horizontal,
try tipping the scratching post over.

Thank You ALL for your replies! We have since tried the carpet fresh trick. So far, so good. It also worked spraying a bit of Lysol where one of them used to scratch at the porch couch. We did try the scratchin post with catnip sprayed on it, but they just seemed to sniff and walk away.Even tried it horizontal but they were oblivious. THANKS AGAIN!

I'm surprised no one jumped on you for considering declawing. Anyway,
so where is your cat scratching now?
