    Possibly. Cats need to scratch something to maintain their claws. Also, catnip can help encourage them to scratch the things they’re supposed to instead of the furniture.

      You can also discourage scratching of the sofa by covering it with something that’s icky for cats to scratch for the duration of making the post the place to habitually scratch.
