<human>: What is the best way to keep a cat from scratching the sofa?
<bot>: The best way to keep your cat from scratching the sofa is to provide them with alternative scratching surfaces such as cardboard scratchers or sisal mats. Additionally, you can also try spraying deterrents on the sofa, like bitter apple spray or citrus-scented sprays. Lastly, if possible, move the furniture away from any walls so that it's harder for your cat to reach.
