You can't but giving the cat it's own scratching post will help. It's natural for a cat to scratch or claw the carpet as this helps remove the old claw shells/layers to reveal a new sharper claw. It sheds the old layers.

One thing I have found to repel cats is citrus rinds. If the cat has just a spot or 2 on the carpet that it scratches then squeezing an orange peel in that area could work.

How can you train cats not to scratch?

Cats have to scratch for their claws to stay healthy. Introduce them to a cat scratching post. Place the cat's feet on it as you hold the cat in an upright position and rub the feet on the post. Sometimes placing a toy or the scent of cat nip on the post will intice them more. Continue to encourage the cat to use the post. Eventually, it should get the hint.You don't want the cat to never have something to scratch. Their claws could become abnormally long or twisted and cause them and you problems. If your cat has a particular place he/she likes to scratch, then you could place the post in front of it and after a week or 2 put the post a little bit away from the spot. Continue that and eventually your cat will seek out the post on its own.
