<human>: What are some good ways to keep a cat from scratching my furniture?
<bot>: 
1. Provide your cat with plenty of scratching posts and surfaces that they can use instead of the furniture.
2. Make sure your cat has access to an area where they can scratch safely, such as a scratching pad or cardboard box.
3. Use double-sided sticky tape on the areas you don’t want scratched.
4. Put down rugs or mats in high traffic areas.
5. Keep your cat's claws trimmed regularly.
