We are having a beautiful new wooden bed delivered this week and, based on previous experience, I have a feeling our cat is going to take one look at its smooth, untouched legs and be over the moon at his four brand new wooden scratching posts 
Amazon appear to sell lots of cat repellent sprays for furniture - has anyone had any success with these? The reviews aren't great but I live in hope...failing that, does anyone have any other tips for preventing the cat from scratching our new bed?
