Our 4 cats have pretty much destroyed our current couches, despite
having lots of different scratching posts around. They scratched the
couches so much the wooden innards are showing! The cats primarily
scratch the ends beneath the arm rests, and the back corners of the
couches. Therefore I'm thinking of getting new couches with wooden
accent pieces beneath the arm rests, with the backs of the couches
protected against walls so they can't reach the back corners.

Anyone have any thoughts on whether this will work? Or will they just
move on to other parts of the couches?

Thanks,
Celia
