Aluminum, enemy of cats?
A user of TikTok seems to have thought long and hard about the problem to the point of implementing a well-crafted technique. “Today I’m going to show you a trick that will help a lot of people”, she announces at the start of the video. Before asking: “How to stop your cats scratching your sofas, chairs and cushions?”. The solution proposed by the young woman is, to say the least, accessible to the greatest number of people since it simply requires being in possession of a roll of aluminum.
“Namely, with aluminum. Cats hate aluminum, material, texture but above all noise. The noise directly scares them away. It’s really something that works very very well. I show you”, she continues. Given the dislike of aluminum by cats, it is enough to install it in the covers of your furniture to discourage your cat from scratching on it. “For example, to put under my sofa cover, I cut a larger part, I open my cover and I insert the aluminum inside”, she illustrates.

And to add: “When your cat comes, it will want to scratch and automatically there will be the sound of aluminum. He’s not going to like it. Same for your cushions. You open your pillow or cushion covers, you place the aluminum sheet correctly and then you close the cover.” No doubt cat owners will be eager to test this trick. It remains to be seen, however, whether this does not hinder the comfort of the seat of your sofa.
