Cat Nail Trimming or protecting furniture from scratches

Melissa from Saint Marys Bay

Hi Everyone,

I am a new cat mum. He is 5 months old and is in a hyper stage. I’ve covered all my furniture with sheets and blankets etc - not aesthetically appealing. Any suggestion on how I can protect my furniture from my cats claws that look a bit better than sheets? He has a scratch pole which he uses but I’m sure once I have taken the blankets etc off he will have a go at the furniture. Also have used aristopet spray (deterrent) and also cat nip on his pole. With treats. Just wondering if someone has other ideas. I’ve been told to do regular nail trimming. Know anyone that can do this regularly and what the cost would be? How often are we supposed to nail trim? I realise it can become expensive so am looking for someone to do this regularly for me.
