It’s not only to stretch muscles, buts also to remove old claw sheaths, this is a cat’s physiological need, so even if a removable couch cover is added to the sofa, it’s inevitable that the cat will scratch other furniture. A lot of research has show that cats are more likely to grab materials with rough surfaces, such as line, canvas and chenille. These materials allow the cat’s claws to be easily embedded, and also provide enough resistance to make the cat’s scratching more comfortable.
