It is always upsetting to discover scratch marks on furniture, particularly when it is brand new…. However, from the cat's point of view, every new object must be checked and then identified as safe. When your cat scratches your new furniture, he is simply trying to incorporate it into the environment.
In such circumstances it is totally useless to punish your cat. In fact, this could even make the problem worse by adding to the stress he already feels.
Feliway can help your cat cope with these environmental changes.
