I agree with other posters. We were adopted by an injured stray kitten two years ago. I took him for shots and our vet advised to get a tall "cat condo"/scratching post right away. I picked it up on the way back from the vet.


Upon vet's advice, whenever Two-Putt would try to scratch the furniture, I'd give him a firm "eeeenk" and then lead him to his cat post. He has since gotten too big to hang out on/in the "condo," but he still goes there to scratch. It is mostly shredded on one side, but our furniture is fine.
