How can I prevent my cat from scratching the sofas?

We're in a rented house and my cat won't stop scratching the sofas! She has also opted to rip the wallpaper, making a huge problem for us! Does anyone have any ideas as to how we can stop her?

One thing is absolutely certain. You will never stop a cat from scratching but you can divert his claws from your sofa, furnishings or carpet to something more appropriate. It is relatively easy to stop your cat scratching your furniture. First you must buy or make him a scratching post.Whenever you see your cat scratching the furniture tell him NO… or AH-AH in a firm voice, then gently pick him up and take him to the scratching post. Do this is a very gentle way so as not to scare him. Place his paws on the scratching post and simulate scratching. Praise him and tell him 'Good Kitty' and stroke him to make it an enjoyable pleasant experience. You will have to be diligent at first and try to catch him in the act of scratching your furniture. Never punish him for scratching inappropriately but praise him well when he does the right thing. It's all about reward and pleasant experiences.

Good Luck!

Are futon sofas uncomfortable?

We're thinking of buying this sofa. We know it won't be the most comfortable sofa around, but are having problem fitting a normal sofa through our door. We were wondering if anyone who has experience with similar products could let us know if they think it's really uncomfortable, etc. We do expect to keep it for a few years.

The one you show looks really comfy I think it would be great. It looks nice you can hardly tell its a futon. Also if you read the specifics on it it has an 8" foam matress on it so I think it would be just fine for the money.

Are Japanese Shiki-futons comfortable?

Hello!
I've been wanting to get a Shiki-futon for a long time! They save a lot of space! But I haven't ever tried sleeping on one. Does anybody have one? Are they nice? Do you find it alright to just use it on the floor or do you need extra things underneath?
Thank you for any help!
The wooden frame for a futon was developed after the 2nd World War as the occupying American forces wanted to take them home as souvenirs, but didn't want to sleep on the floor like the Japanese did. I would say, as I have one as an 'occasional bed' that it's fine to sleep on the floor, and no, you shouldn't need anything extra if your floor isn't too cold.

Do all new sofas have to have a permanent fire safety sticker?

I know that all new sofas need to have a display stick to show that it is fire resistant. However somebody has told me you need a permanent sticker attached to the body of the sofa. Is this the case or is the display sticker enough?

Sofas & even mattresses have to have this notice since 1996 but it can be removed & should be kept,possibly with guarantee,or you can never sell it on or even donate to charity without this label being shown & given to new owner.I think is is known as a green label
