Stop the scratching

There are 2 things which worked when I had a cat: The first is to get some orange essential oil, and just spray a tiny bit of it over the areas where your cat scratches. Most cats hate the smell of orange oil and won't go near it. The other option is to tape sheets of tinfoil (aluminium foil) hanging loosely over the areas where the cat scratches. They will try to scratch the foil, but hate the noise it makes when they try. Soon they will learn to associate the orange smell and/or the tinfoil noise with those areas, and avoid them in future.

Well as far as I've seen with my cats, it's pretty much impossible. They just scratch away at anything they like. You can always try to shoo them away though.

You could try very gently clipping the kitten's claws back a little. Only a few millimeters as if you cut too far back it will hurt the kitten. So be careful, and you'll probably have to do it once a week I'd say.

I think there 's no way of stopping them fro scratching because they were created like that. Just enjoy having fun with them and you will gain their difference.
