This is the first new sofa we have ever bought and it arrived yesterday. The cats wouldn't go near it initially; wake up this morning to see they've already had ago at one of the corners (very sad face).
They already have a scratching post which they use daily; we've just bought some catnip spray to make it even more appealing (more so than the sofa) but I wondered whether anyone else had any tips that worked for them. There are so many products online with mixed reviews.
I know cats don't function like dogs, and telling them off is futile! For now we've also put double-sided tape along the corners and arms while we're at work in the day; ideally I don't want to restrict them from the lounge as we've stopped them going in the bedroom in preparation for our new baby due in July.
Any ideas or experience would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
