how do you stop animals ruining your furniture?

SW-User
Look at them in the eye, unblinking, and say "NO".
And then wait for a miracle to happen.
SW-User
@SW-User 😂
@SW-User 😂 works sometimes though!
Two ways. Get rid of the animals or get rid of the furniture.
@MushroomFaerie Dogs can usually be trained. Cats, never had any luck with. Dogs can be made to believe it's YOUR furniture. Cats know it's theirs.
@Mamapolo2016 they're cats and they are young, I just pulled a claw out of my new leather dining chairs
@MushroomFaerie Yeah. I'm told the trick is to provide them with stuff they like to scratch better. And never show any affection for your furniture or they'll wreck it out of sheer spite.

1. Cover them in plastic the way the people in the 1950's did.

2. Train them not to jump up on the furniture.

3. You don't. You buy cheap furniture you don't care about.
SW-User
@SW-User You can also buy scratchees for them.
SW-User
@SW-User For the cats, yes. Although I know some that would still rather scratch up the furniture. lol.
@SW-User already have scratching posts

Cats or dogs? Get a spray bottle with water and squirt them with it when they are clawing or chewing furniture.

Euthanization
@Jibby I love the megalodon, I have a tooth from the otodus, the grandfather, fascinating stuff, I've always loved sharks and shipwrecks

A couple of times I've seen little Sandbar sharks washed up on our beach. I will pick them up put them on my board and paddle them out past the break.. They do bite every once in awhile..
@Jibby oh see, I knew you were soft lol

What animal?

Spray wolf piss all over it

@CrustyDDingus How does one acquire wolf piss? There aren't many wolves in the UK, especially not in urban areas. Lol :)
CrustyDDingus · 36-40, M
@NankerPhelge buy it off Amazon of course
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@CrustyDDingus I don't trust online shopping. I have no way of examining the goods for imperfections before I pay for them.

Burn the furniture beforehand.

@Mordi This hack is insanely productive. 100% recommended.

I tried it once and my life has never been better.

Get the cat one of those cat poles with a couple of high perches on it, so it is higher than you.. And club the little sod to death with it if it ever goes near the drapes again.
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@whowasthatmaskedman I like both cats and dogs, and anybody who is cruel to either deserves to get his balls bitten off by one or the other (or preferably both).
I’d kill anyone that hurt my dogs. @NankerPhelge

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 I don't blame you. I wouldn't grass on you if you did.
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
Close the doors in all the rooms.
SW-User
Cover that furniture with POISON!!!
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@SW-User If you like being cruel to animals, for heaven's sake keep quiet about it and don't brag about it on the Internet.
SW-User
@NankerPhelge Animals have no part in my environment, i just answered as if they were, you're not too bright are ya??!!
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@SW-User I'm bright enough to see what an annoying troll you are.

Don't have pets
What kind of animals? 🤔

Dogs, cats, ferrets ... ?

The only animal that has the mental aptitude are dogs ... and that's only sometimes.
SW-User
You just don't have animals full stop or restrict to where the animals can roam to lessen the damage.
SW-User
Don't let people into your parties you don't trust yourself.
Scratching posts and scented sprays.
SW-User
