I've tried saying "no", squirting her with water, taking her off the furniture and rewarding her only when not on it...none of it has worked! She's basically immune to water and has no issue getting squirted! She's starting to cause real damage on my bedspread and couches, at least "Soft Paws" has helped with clawing (I don't want to declaw her)...Someone please help!

I think I read somewhere that if you mix a little vinegar into the water that you spray her with, it will work better. I don't think that cats like the smell of the vinegar and are really put off when they are sprayed with it.

Dont de-claw you cat, it is really cruel! It is actually taking off part of their hand, not just the nails! I have 2 cats, and we always make sure to have a good scratching post for them. I put it in the living room next to the sofa so they go to that instead of the furniture. We also put foil on the furniture at night for a while, cats hate the feeling of foil on their paws for some reason. We didnt have to do it for that long, they get in the habit of not going there. Petsmart and Petco also sell sprays that will keep cats off furniture, but I have not tried it. Just make sure that you do have a good post for them, they need a place to sharpen their claws and if you dont provide it they will use the furniture. There a a lot of inexpensive one out there. We also got 2 cats on purpose, so they would play with each other instead of our feet or our furniture. It helped for us!

We got a piece of cat furniture....a kitty condo and that helped A LOT.. Whenever our cat attacks our furniture we say "NO" and place her on the kitty condo thing.

I observed this cool contraption (at objective or something like that) that's a action-sensor alarm. as quickly as his paw is close to the settee, it provides off this quite stressful whistle. i think of in basic terms cats can hear it or something, or possibly additionally mothers-in-regulation. besides, it wasn't that costly. For hand-biting habit, he will provide up at last. maximum cats provide up performing so juvenile as quickly as they completely develop, yet i've got considered some that relapse into kittenhood for some seconds.

Get a really high pritched whistle and blow it when she start biting at the furniture. Cats generally don't like loud sudden noises.

Why don't you buy the bitter apple sprays? You can spray it on your furniture and where ever else she bites and she should stop since it has a bad bitter taste.

Many pet stores carry a spray that is non-staining you can put on most materials and it makes the area unpleasant to animals but not to people. Check Petsmart.com for more thoughts.
