How can I keep my cat from clawing my antique bed?

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.

How to discourage cat from ****** on wood antiques?

Kelbid asked:


My cat has a history of ****** on my wood antiques (dresser, trunk, etc.), but when I moved, (per vet recommendation) I keep her in a closed room with no antiques & lots of litter boxes. She has been great for 6 months, but now I have an antique piano I need to move into that room & I’m terrified she will destroy it–any preventive measures I can take? (I tried lemons, cleaners, vinegar, baking soda & refinishing on the old dresser & didn’t deter her at all…)
