No certain type of breed scratches more than another. Some cats, usually kittens, scratch more often. If your cat scratches furniture, a good investment would be buying a scratching post. Cats naturally have to scratch!
Answer:Cats scratch for many reasons. A cat scratches a scratching post in order to stretch the muscles in their legs, back, shoulders, and paws. They also scratch to 'sharpen' their claws (this actually rubs the old outer layers of claw that have become rough and blunt. Cats claws have layers to them, somewhat like an onion has). Cats also have scent glands in their paws, so another theory cats scratch in order to leave a "message" in order to communicate with other cats.Every cat owner has seen or heard their cat scratching and kicking litter in the litter tray. Cats, even wild cats, are very careful to bury their waste in order to hide the smell. This limits the chance of being caught by a predator or other hostile animal.Answer:Cats scratch because it is an inherent behavior. It stimulates the muscles and nerves in their back, shoulders and legs. A cat will scratch to maintain muscle tone and to keep their claws sharp. Make them a cat stand covered with carpet and they won't scratch on the furniture. It's wrong to declaw a cat. They use their claws to grab and play with things, climb, hunt prey and defend themselves.If your talking about your cat scratching the furniture, it's because it want to leave it scent there and tell other cats it's, it's territory.Human can't smell the scent but cats can.
Cats seem smart enough to limit their scratching to certain "agreed upon" places. But the cat HAS to scratch something. And for God's sake...never de-claw a cat. " How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven."- Robert A. Heinlein

Ok, here is a couple of ways: 1. If your cat has a scratch post, try not to place it near furniture. 2.On the scratch post, spray catnip on it. (Catnip spray can be bought from pets at home) This will make the cat want to scratch the post more than furniture. 3.Every time the cat scratches furniture, spray him with a bottle of water. Eventually, he will learn that scratching furniture is bad.
Scratch posts can be helpful in stopping cats from scratching furniture. They should be placed near furniture so that cats will choose them instead of the furniture. It also helps to cover your furniture with plastic when you first put the scratch posts out so they are the only thing the cat can scratch until they get used to it.
Scratch tape can be effective in preventing furniture damage caused by scratching in some cats. The sticky texture of the tape can deter cats from scratching on the furniture. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the individual cat's behavior and preferences. It is worth trying scratch tape as a deterrent, but it may not work for all cats.

OK first of all you take the cloth and rub its face. Then u rub a little of that on the wall and anything else. Since they have a special sense, and it is their own scent, they will not scratch it.
