Buy or build a carpeted scratching post. that helps. Better yet find a cat tree (carpeted)
Thanks would a chair cover help at night when the chair is not in use? Like for example a patio chair cover?
Well, it would be kinda hard to sit on with the cover. And most cats would crawl under it and get in it anyway. Covers like these would be of more use but, again, cats love to get under stuff. A nice tight fit on the chair will be of more use.Thanks everyone. What about this would it help ? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBAOIII/?ie=UTF8&psc=1#

You're welcome, from a longtime cat owner:

I had one of those back in the 80s and had 3 cats, and they loved it. The tree had a box in the middle where they could get in and nap. never a problem with furniture.I got a good cat tree 11 years ago and it turned out to be an excellent investment in regards to saving furniture. Carpeted is good, but roped bases are the gold standard and last longer. I've had to re-rope three of the base posts once (the fourth is in a corner and doesn't get used), but it's still in great shape and the carpeted type would have needed to be replaced by now.
No I am not getting rid of them or declawing them.
What would be some ways ?
