I have a rescue cat who claws the furniture. When I shout, she acts scared. I now use a spray bottle of water, but is there something else I can do to make her less frightened so I can train her easier?

Clawing is natural behavior so the cat won't understand why she is being punished. This causes confusion, anxiety, and ultimately distress, so try only to resort to punishment if she is in danger of hurting herself. Instead, follow the tips in this guide, but pay special attention to giving her alternative safe places to scratch. Make the sofa less attractive to scratch by covering it with a plastic sheet when you aren't there.
