How do I keep my cat from scratching my leather couch?

The best way to keep a cat from scratching your leather couch is to distract the cat with things it’ll find more fun. For example, if you place a scratching post near the couch, perhaps impregnated with catnip odors, the cat will likely find this more interesting than your couch. Also, try to discourage the cat from sitting on the couch unless you’ve laid down a blanket first, to keep it safe from your cat’s claws, which it might extend onto the couch surface when contented.
