Cat Training Aids on The Market
There are many types of cat-training aids on the market. Some of the most helpful training tools are leashes, a scat mat, catnip, toys, and food treats.
Having a simply and lightweight cat leash lets you train your cat to go for a walk or ride in the car. Cats require exercise, and using a leash while taking a walk with your cat outside will provide protection and keep the cat from running off. You want the cat to walk with you, not ahead of you, so train the cat to expect that you will be the leader. Both of you will enjoy your walks much more if this approach is taken.
The scat mat is good for showing cats that certain areas are not open to them. These devices send out pulses of static electricity when a cat enters the forbidden area. There are many sizes and colors of scat mats. Some even come in transparent versions so the cat cannot see that they are on the area. Additionally, scat mats are safe to use. They can be connected if you have especially large areas where you do not want your cat to go. Dummy scat mats do not include the electric pulse and may be used after the cat is trained to provide reminders of appropriate behavior.
Catnip can be used on cat litter to attract the cat to the litter box. Male cats tend to respond more to catnip, which has a scent similar to the urine of a female cat. Catnip comes in different forms for training. Toys that are filled with catnip can help a cat to learn a specific behavior. For fund, catnip in bubble form is available. It is similar to the kind of soap-bubble toy that children play with, but it has an added scent of catnip. The product is safe for your cat and will not harm him or her. Catnip is also available in a powered form that you can rub on your hand. You can even buy catnip seed and plant it inside or outside your home to give the cat a real treat.
If your cat is pouncing on things like it would pounce on a mouse, it may be useful to give the cat a toy mouse. Cats, by nature, will pounce as if they are killing something. Having a toy mouse lets the cat act in a normal way. Some toy mice on the market can be wound up so the cat can chase them. Others may be stuffed with catnip. Training a cat has a lot to do with letting it fulfill its natural instincts. A cat that can perform its normal activities will be a happier and healthier companion.
Offering healthy food rewards is another good tool for training a cat. Many cat treats include vitamins so you will know that the cat is getting what it needs nutritionally. If you are a baker, you might want to try to make your own cat treats. There are even prepackaged mixes available.
Remember to be patient with your cat while it is learning.

Question by pearl956: Does anyone have unusual suggestions for training a cat not to scratch?
I have used a squirt bottle, and she doesn’t really mind getting wet. She even stops to think about it when she sees me pick it up, and she still does it.
I tried to use sticky things, but she didn’t mind them, and in fact, when she stayed with a friend for a couple of weeks, actually played with the tape on a package he received.
I don’t think something uncomfortable would work, since she lays on her scratching materials and even rubs herself up against them.
Let me know if you have unusual suggestions.
I forgot to mention that I had already tried the squirt stuff on the furniture that is supposed to keep them away.
*Most people just make a crack about pets taking after their owners…i.e. stubborn!*

maybe there is some product you can spray on the items you do not want her to scratch or talk to a vet for suggestions.
I dont know who the idiot was that suggested declawing her but dont !!!!
You might want to try temporarily taping sheets of plastic wrap (i.e., Saran or Glad Wrap) or tin foil to the backs or sides of your furniture. Use painter’s or masking tape to secure the plastic wrap or tin foil. Furniture doesn’t have to be wrapped tight; just drape some over the arms or back, or wherever your cat has a tendency to scratch. Cat’s don’t like the feel of either of these products.
As far as aversive correction sounds go, you might want to try a can of compressed air (the kind you clean your computer with?) A short “hiss” of air aimed up in the air (not at the cat) will usually get a cat’s attention.
I’ve never met a cat that enjoyed walking on or scratching sticky tape! lol Usually I’ll get some cheap plastic placemats and cover them with wide rows of very sticky double-sided tape, placing them on furniture or counters (and replace tape frequently when the sticky is gone).
Regular nail trims along with those scratching materials you have will also help make your cat more comfortable.
