I’ve gotten him three scratching posts and laced them with catnip. He only likes one of them, and if I move that one to my bedroom, he ignores it and goes for the bed. Every time I catch him clawing the bed I clap my hands loudly and he runs away. I think he thinks it’s a game that’s pretty fun, but I really need him to stop. If I lock him out of the bedroom, then he claws on the door! He’s driving me bananas.
