  Cats like vertical spaces, so getting up on the furniture is a natural instinct for cats. They want to get up off the ground, both for safety reasons and for a better visual perspective. One of the reasons to get a well-designed cat tree, with perches and cubbies up high and a built-in scratching post, is that it will dissuade a cat from utilizing your furniture for the same reasons. While most cat lovers are more than willing to share their furniture, if you get a new sofa that you don’t want the cat to hang out on, place a deterrent product like X-Mats, which are flat plastic pads with pointy surfaces that make that object too uncomfortable.
