<human>: How can I get my cat to stop scratching the couch?
<bot>: One way to discourage your cat from scratching the couch is to provide a scratching post or pad that is more enticing than the furniture. You can also try placing double-sided sticky tape on the couch, which will make it uncomfortable for your cat to scratch. Additionally, you could try spraying an unpleasant smell near the couch and encourage your cat to explore other areas of the house instead.
