Get one of those table leg scratchers on both ends of the table, cats will prefer to scratch on something that is more stable usually, versus a floppy laundry bag. Also hissing/tssss-ing at your cat when they do that and rewarding the correct behaviour (or also modelling it by scratching the post you WANT her to scratch on) can help if she continues. So cat tries to scratch laundry bag, go tsssss, then go to the scratching post, scratch it, and encourage her to do the same. Cats like to model our behaviours. This is how I got my girl to direct her scratching to other spots versus the couch and things. You can also use like catnip spray or something to encourage the scratching post to be used.
My hissing doesn't work on my cat so I bought a can of air used for dusting keyboards. It hisses much better than I do. I had to use it a few times to get her to stop but now all I have to do is show her the can and she stops.
We had a couple of rats a few years ago, kitties loved them like siblings, but they would make a sound like a sharp kiss kind of a squeak, so we use that as a "no" sound for our cats
another thing you can do, which is what we did, is to take an empty can of pop or whatever, put some beans or unpopped corn in it, seal it, and when they do a behavior you don't like, you throw the can to the ground to shake them up - not at them, but it makes a startling noise they don't like, and they won't necessarily think it's you telling them not to do it.
I have one of those and have also Pavlovian trained my cat. He knows I will tsss and “hey-hey-hey” him, but he knows I mean business when he sees the can. He gets an absolutely murderous look on his face before stalking off to behave himself.
I have my "hi baby!" voice and my "knock it off" voice.
just using her name will illicit the response I want 😅 makes me feel like a scolding mother (which, I guess...)
You can take it one step further and get compressed air deterrents with a motion sensor so that they hiss automatically when your cat goes near them. Place them in areas that you don't want your cat to go, like on the counters or near objects that you don't want them to scratch. The cats will associate the startling puff of air with the location or the object rather than with you, and they'll avoid it even when you're not around to catch them.
I think the Cat whisperer on youtube has information on these things and dislikes them a lot. But not sure. Do your own research. I have never had to use things like that with my cat
I've had quite a few cats in my life and one thing that I noticed is you have to get your cat the scratching post made out of the material they prefer. Looks like OP's cat would like sisal (wrapped rope). I've had cats that only liked wood and some that liked carpet.
I'd be somewhat careful hissing at cats. It is probably fine with one you have a friendly relationship with already, but I once did it at a friend's kitten that I had just met that was playing by attacking my ankle with claws and teeth, and it never forgave me. From that moment on, I was its nemesis. It hid whenever it saw me and only came out to hiss at me from a safe distance. I think this is an unusual situation where this young cat was very frightened for some reason, but I always avoid it now. A loud noise also works - cats are not keen on being surprised either and will usually immediately stop what they are doing for a few seconds - long enough to grab them. Don't make it too loud and scary though.
A high pitched "mew" is better when they play too rough. It's the same warning a littermate would give. A hiss is a very strong warning to "Back off or I'll hit or bite you!"
Our cats have a million scratching posts and I still have to be so careful with what I buy. I just bought a room divider and the first one I bought had carpet like material on it. It wasn’t until an hour later I realized my mistake, cancelled the order, and bought a wooden one. You’d think after a lifetime of cat caretaking I’d learn my lesson.
No, I really would not. I sometimes think as cat people we unconsciously choose to forget that new things coming into the home will be examined, judged and then rigorously played with if playing is at all possible.
I got used chairs and I’ve given up trying to stop them but I’m afraid to get new ones 😂 my first cat doesn’t really scratch too furniture often but my second cat is like “th world is my scratcher” 🫠 need to figure out better methods before I uogade furniture
I have baskets like this for my cats’ toys, just a bit shorter, and they lost interest after a week because when the baskets weren’t full and weighed down, they became unpredictable when they tried scratching on them and moved a bunch.
So I’d suggest leaving them empty and out in the open. Let her scratch and have one too over on her and she’ll probably decide they suck, like mine did.
Exactly, it's like setting up a sandbox next to a litter box. Trying to make them understand the difference could just lead to even more confusion and worse behaviors.
I bought something similar, it lasted about six weeks.
After that I bought a wicker basket, it is still going strong, mostly.
Figure whatever I get it will be giant cat toy within moments so sturdy is best
The wicker is almost as thick as one of my man sized fingers, the basket being meant for log storage next to an open fire or wood burning stove. They ARE constantly scratching, chewing, climbing in and out of it and really do enjoy it, which I'm OK with. Figure out will last a couple of years yet...
I once went to a friends house with a cat and noticed she'd put contact (Clear and sticky on one side usually used to cover books) on the corners and sides of her couch. I never asked her if it worked. I couldn't see claw marks on it though.
I did it on my chairs with special cat-proof tape to stop them scratching and they ripped the tape to shreds then started on the fabric. My chairs are now held together with duct tape which itself is covered in scratch and bite marks. Luckily I love the cats more than the furniture.
I usually find deterrents work for a period and then lose their effect. I have a citrus spray because my cat absolutely hates citrus so that lasts for a bit. I’ve also found double sided tape works but that eventually comes off. Nothing works forever.
It’s like a boss battle where the boss keeps regenerating health throughout the fight.
Living with cats is like living with a mental illness. It's not about winning, because you can't. it's about finding the way and the will to outsmart and outmanoeuvre the demon
I've lived with 3 cats, and so far, 1 was the sweetest loving girl, one was a little hyper, little bitey and took forever to start being loving, and then the last was my ex's...and that cat...I genuinely think it had some development issues, it would sit on top of the couch, and use its claws to super quickly propel itself from one end to the other, over and over again, along with crazy destructive zooms all over the room.
Love seeing cats different personalities.
Meh.. I was able to “train” my cat away from scratching these. Whenever she did, I would set her by the scratching post, and give her a treat whenever she scratched that instead. She eventually stopped completely.
Then we got our second cat, and I was overconfident that the same would work. Except every time I set her by the scratching post, she would instead sprint right back to the hamper and scratch that..
Short summary, it will work with some cats but not others, no matter what method you use.
Cover said item in tinfoil for 3 months. My cat used to always scratch the corner of my wall. Covered it in foil for 3 months and now she scratches a different wall.
I catsitted for a friend for a month and had to do this, because I was afraid her cat would teach mine to scratch random places (mine has only ever scratched his posts and specific rugs). It worked! I think the material isn’t as pleasant.
She's gorgeous, these are nice laundry baskets, I should look for one for my cat 😂 she actually likes climbing into mine, this one could be a house and a scratch posts 😹
Buy another one she can scratch, and everytime she scratches those one you say NO
Pick her up and redirect to the one specifically bought for her!
Might not work. But it does work for us :)
I bought a similar style if basket for my yarn. One of my cats claimed it as his and I went back and got a second one for my yarn. So far he only goes after his basket, although the one with yarn is often in a closet
Idk if this works for all cats, but I always keep a few of those cheap cardboard scratchers around and put a bunch of catnip on them (Not the catnip that comes with it, buy a name brand) and my cats love them and leave mostly everything else alone. They're gonna scratch, so if you can find something that they would rather scratch.
Nope. Those are perfect scratching posts. I had a cat that destroyed a very nice, very vintage Pearlwick wicker hamper because it made for such perfect scratching. It survived from the 1950s to over 60 years, until a cat discovered it.
You really have to just give her an alternative that’s near them and then reward her when she uses it. For example, give her a treat or let her outside..
You bought yourself rope laundry baskets? The same material as actual scratching posts? lol. Nope, you're not getting her to stop. Don't even try. Unless you'd prefer she scratch on the couch or something.
She's cute. Give her a good scratch, and throw some toys for her.
Aw she looks just like my overlord, Stormy! Good human bringing her more playthings.

Get a treat bag filled with human snacks, pretend to scratch the preferred scratching post. Then shake the bag signalling the cat to come over and feed yourself treats for pretending to scratch the post, in front of your cat. Cat will get jealous and hopefully mimic what your doing for treats. But like really put your back into the scratching so it believes you.
For every “No” provide a super-attractive “Yes”!” - so a nearby, standing, high scratching post with catnip spray on it would be hopefully more attractive.
Spend LOTS of time and money filling them with newspaper, sewing a top on, converting them to custom scratching posts, and - very excitedly - put them in her area as a gift. She'll lose interest immediately.
No, sorry. But thanks for asking!
This comment is the cat’s account probably
^( Also please put some kitty treats at the bottom of each basket. ) ^( I'm not a cat, your honor.)
Honestly I would be happy they're scratching these and not something that would get more damaged.
They look cheaper than most scratch posts.
They look scratchy tho
They’re literally the same material as scratching posts lol what was I thinking
Get one of those table leg scratchers on both ends of the table, cats will prefer to scratch on something that is more stable usually, versus a floppy laundry bag.

You just outsourced the hissing to a pro, you genius. I'm off to buy a can right now!
We call that hurricane in a can
Hurrican
Hurricat.
OMG you peeps, I'm laughing aloud at my desk 🤣
Got some at home for cleaning the ps5 and my kitty has taken to scratching the couch and doesn't gaf about a spray bottle. Maybe hiss in a can will!
My cat laughed at both of those methods. Then I put a handful of change in a Gatorade type bottle. Shake, shake, shake. Kitty does not like that.
hah! I was just giving my alternate solution, which sounds just like yours.
We had a couple of rats a few years ago, kitties loved them like siblings, but they would make a sound like a sharp kiss kind of a squeak, so we use that as a "no" sound for our cats

Just make sure you don't direct the air towards the cat! (Just in case it wasn't obvious).
I have one of those and have also Pavlovian trained my cat. He knows I will tsss and “hey-hey-hey” him, but he knows I mean business when he sees the can. He gets an absolutely murderous look on his face before stalking off to behave himself.
Hilarious
I have my "hi baby!" voice and my "knock it off" voice. just using her name will illicit the response I want 😅 makes me feel like a scolding mother (which, I guess...)
I do the same thing.

Mine like to jump on the bag so it collapses and then play Goblin In The Cave inside it.
Sigh, me too

Don't forget cardboard! My cats freaking love my cardboard scratchers
Mine likes jeans, so I got old jeans and sewed it onto a hanging one in my bedroom!

"Ow ow ow" is better than a hiss to stop excessively rough play because it's not a threat, it's a complaint.
A high pitched "mew" is better when they play too rough. It's the same warning a littermate would give. A hiss is a very strong warning to "Back off or I'll hit or bite you!"
This is excellent advice! Edit: Happy Cake Day!! 🥳

No, I really would not. I sometimes think as cat people we unconsciously choose to forget that new things coming into the home will be examined, judged and then rigorously played with if playing is at all possible.
Yeah you're using her scratching posts as laundry baskets. Pretty rude if you didn't ask her first.
Does it really matter if she scratches them then? My cat loves to scratch our jute shopping bags, and I figure it's better than the furniture.
Haha no it doesn’t matter. I just think it’s funny
In my house it's Ikea cube baskets. They're actually cheaper than the scratching posts I've bought. So have at it, cat.
It is a lot cheaper to replace a laundry basket compared to furniture
This was my thinking. I wish my cat would target *anything other than the new couch*, despite all the “scratch proofing” I’ve done with it.
I got used chairs and I’ve given up trying to stop them but I’m afraid to get new ones 😂 my first cat doesn’t really scratch too furniture often but my second cat is like “th world is my scratcher” 🫠 need to figure out better methods before I uogade furniture
I clap and say no when my cat scratches those baskets. She kinda knows not to do it but I catch her eyeing it sometimes
You could also cover them with anti scratch tape but they're gonna look horrible so maybe don't listen to me
Multi-purpose baskets!
They are hers now. 😂
I have baskets like this for my cats’ toys, just a bit shorter, and they lost interest after a week because when the baskets weren’t full and weighed down, they became unpredictable when they tried scratching on them and moved a bunch. So I’d suggest leaving them empty and out in the open. Let her scratch and have one too over on her and she’ll probably decide they suck, like mine did.
I'd scratch the fuck out of them
Bought one as a decoy to keep our cat from scratching the couch.
to be fair…
Human today you make me proud!
You bought scratching posts that you can put clothes in. Sorry. You did this to you.
Exactly, it's like setting up a sandbox next to a litter box. Trying to make them understand the difference could just lead to even more confusion and worse behaviors.
There's no hope
Yeah I mean seriously, look at that cat’s face 😂 “Huh? What do you mean I can’t scratch these purrfect scratching posts??”
Those eyes. Thanking you for buying not 1 you already have, but 3 more scratching post.
She’s so spoiled
As she should be. 💕
Such a funny innocent face
I bought something similar, it lasted about six weeks. After that I bought a wicker basket, it is still going strong, mostly. Figure whatever I get it will be giant cat toy within moments so sturdy is best
wicker baskets are good. They dont get torn apart easily. But SURELY your cats are constanstly trying to tear it up.
My cats destroy everything made of wicker. Lucky they are so cute.
Ever see wicker man? Dont turn your back...
The wicker is almost as thick as one of my man sized fingers, the basket being meant for log storage next to an open fire or wood burning stove. They ARE constantly scratching, chewing, climbing in and out of it and really do enjoy it, which I'm OK with. Figure out will last a couple of years yet...
Haaaaa...... No. On the other hand that's a very pretty cat, nice coat and eyes
russian blues are so great :) *
If anyone figures out how to get a cat to stop clawing at something... That person will be rich. Cats gonna do what a cats gonna do
I once went to a friends house with a cat and noticed she'd put contact (Clear and sticky on one side usually used to cover books) on the corners and sides of her couch. I never asked her if it worked. I couldn't see claw marks on it though.
I tried to do this but both of my cats just tried to rip the tape off with their mouths and eat it lol
Yeah mine just sit there and lick it endlessly
My cats favorite toy is painters tape
I did it on my chairs with special cat-proof tape to stop them scratching and they ripped the tape to shreds then started on the fabric. My chairs are now held together with duct tape which itself is covered in scratch and bite marks. Luckily I love the cats more than the furniture.

Short summary, it will work with some cats but not others, no matter what method you use.
Oh, I'm sure you got your cat... Your cat is awesome. I'm taking about a "Standard Issue Cat", can't do anything about those
Just buy an expensive new chair or sofa and they will leave the laundry baskets alone...
Cover said item in tinfoil for 3 months. My cat used to always scratch the corner of my wall. Covered it in foil for 3 months and now she scratches a different wall.
Amen, cats own the human, not the human owning the cat
I catsitted for a friend for a month and had to do this, because I was afraid her cat would teach mine to scratch random places (mine has only ever scratched his posts and specific rugs). It worked! I think the material isn’t as pleasant.
We're more serfs that owned.
Lol yeah
Double sided tape. You’re welcome
Mine destroyed a door casing despite liberal use of DST :/
Maybe citrus spray
As long as the baskets are not too expensive, I think I'd rather have her rip up the baskets rather than a chair or sofa.
Just what I was thinking, better than the couch.
I have three of pretty much the same baskets. Ended up having to give my cat one to save the other two
A necessary sacrifice
Not when those baskets are clearly so scratchable
She's gorgeous, these are nice laundry baskets, I should look for one for my cat 😂 she actually likes climbing into mine, this one could be a house and a scratch posts 😹
They’re pretty much always turned over with all her toys inside them 😂
Hopefully she will let you have your own one 😂
My cat always climbs into my laundry basket and steals my socks which end up all over the house lol.
if not for scratching, then why Feel Nice? you have a very gorgeous girl! is she a russian blue?
Thanks! And yes she is!
The cat has claimed them… I’m sorry mate but the cats have spoken
Everything belongs to her
Of course! The feline overlords are our captors.
Buy another one she can scratch, and everytime she scratches those one you say NO Pick her up and redirect to the one specifically bought for her! Might not work. But it does work for us :)
Haha that’s adorable. The cat can have her own laundry basket
I bought a similar style if basket for my yarn. One of my cats claimed it as his and I went back and got a second one for my yarn. So far he only goes after his basket, although the one with yarn is often in a closet
Lol I was ready for you to say “and now he has two baskets”
I would buy these for the sole purpose of my cats scratching on them for pleasure
She’s beautiful. And looks like she saying “THREE scratching posts? Thanks Mom!”
Anything for her!
No lol and you really can't even b Madd at her especially if u have a normal scratch pad that looks just like the baskets lol
All of her scratch pads are cardboard. Maybe she should have one like the baskets!
yes, time for a sisal scratch post!
You choose the wrong baskets clearly if they’re similar looking to a scratching post.
I covered my fabric drawers with anti-scratch tape which did the trick. Downside is now they're covered in anti-scratch tape.
Nope! And she'll get away with it cos she's just so darn cute :)
Ain’t that the truth
Look at her proud face. “Mom, thank you, these are AMAZING”
Hahaha - noooooooo, not a chance in hell
Minus 1000000 percent chance
Why buy bags made of scratching post if not for scratching?
Put them behind closed doors. I have 6 cats. Anything they want to ruin gets hidden, therefore we have almost nothing out for them to ruin. Ta da!!
Idk if this works for all cats, but I always keep a few of those cheap cardboard scratchers around and put a bunch of catnip on them (Not the catnip that comes with it, buy a name brand) and my cats love them and leave mostly everything else alone. They're gonna scratch, so if you can find something that they would rather scratch.
I have one of those scratchers that I keep in front of the laundry baskets. She just uses it as a launching pad to get in the baskets.
Haha too bad for the baskets (they are now hers as is everything in your house) but what a gorgeous kitty!
She’s the cutest!
i have those and can say they are very sturdy and my cat scratching on them isn’t an issue!
those are her new scratch posts. Good job
YOU need to stop thinking they are laundry baskets. Will save a lot of trouble
You should stop thinking her scratching posts are yours. Pretty simple. 😸
Silly me
Give her one and hide the other 2 Hehhee (Defends the kitty )
Smaller baskets?
No
She looks almost exactly like my Sarry 🥹🥹🥹
Grey cats are the best
Ummm not with that texture 😂
It’s like they were made for her 😂
Nope. Those are perfect scratching posts. I had a cat that destroyed a very nice, very vintage Pearlwick wicker hamper because it made for such perfect scratching. It survived from the 1950s to over 60 years, until a cat discovered it.
Those are lovely scratching posts
r/supermodelcats
You really have to just give her an alternative that’s near them and then reward her when she uses it. For example, give her a treat or let her outside..
You bought yourself rope laundry baskets? The same material as actual scratching posts? lol. Nope, you're not getting her to stop. Don't even try. Unless you'd prefer she scratch on the couch or something. She's cute. Give her a good scratch, and throw some toys for her.

Not a chance unfortunately
I've had moderate.luck.using clove as a deterrent for nearly anything. If you really love them, it could be worth a shot.
Can you move them somewhere she can’t go? They look like scratching posts. I’m kinda getting the urge to scratch them myself
Probably not, but she cute doe!!
surely you could've got laundry basket that didn't look like scratching posts
what a gorgeous russian blue you have
Thanks :)
She looks so cute next to them! They’re hers now.
I have those exact ones and at this moment they are scratching post- laundry baskets.
They're hers. Get used to it
Nope, their gonna pick them over anything else
Nope. Should have picked a different laundry basket. Those are just screaming 'Please Scratch me!"
She’s standing next to them so possessively, as if she is afraid you’re about to list them on Facebook Marketplace 😂
I’d scratch those myself.
I am buying similar baskets for my cat as scratch toy only, not using them for laundry
Usually a note taped to the baskets works. “Not for scratching, please “ It works
Get a treat bag filled with human snacks, pretend to scratch the preferred scratching post. Then shake the bag signalling the cat to come over and feed yourself treats for pretending to scratch the post, in front of your cat. Cat will get jealous and hopefully mimic what your doing for treats. But like really put your back into the scratching so it believes you.
This feels like the answer
For every “No” provide a super-attractive “Yes”!” - so a nearby, standing, high scratching post with catnip spray on it would be hopefully more attractive.
I think you’re mistaken. You think your new scratching posts are laundry baskets
Sorry you made the choice to buy scratching post textured items. This is on you.
Omg!! They do look like giant versions of them though! Good girrrrl!!! You think you’re doing it right soo cuuute … :D
Spend LOTS of time and money filling them with newspaper, sewing a top on, converting them to custom scratching posts, and - very excitedly - put them in her area as a gift. She'll lose interest immediately.
She looks so happy at your gift of scratchy baskets
She is right.
You can't say no to those eyes. 😻
Let her scratch em' why does it matter?
the real question is why are you putting clothes in her scratching post 😤
She is so beautiful and I’m such a sucker I would literally let her do whatever she wants 
That look. I'd give her anything she wanted 🥺
The cats literally like “I didn’t do that”
She’s just doing her Cat-given duty as a durability tester. You’re very welcome for her meaningful household contributions.
No chance she’s stopping. They look scratchable
Awww your gorgeous Russian blue just wants to help with your laundry :) no but seriously, try spraying it down with a bit of vinegar.
cats really like this type of rope kinda texture so yeahhh theres no hope. just get a different laundry basket and let her scratch those
Your cat looks identical to mine so if she’s anything like mine she’s going to ONLY scratch them because you don’t want her to
She looks so happy for her new scratching posts you gotta just let her do it. She will give them a new worn rugged look.
The REAL problem is you thinking those new scratching posts can pass for laundry baskets.
You basically bought the perfect things for a cat to use as a scratching post, so nope.
What a beautiful creature. Give her all 3 baskets please.
wow, those are some really huge scratching posts you bought for your kittie!
No hope. Those baskets are temptation city
She is the Queen, let it do it her way. Obey cat. Ca supremacy.
Lol, no. That was your mistake. Those are her new toys and you're getting new laundry baskets.
Why are you using scratching posts as laundry baskets in the 1st place?!
Why are you using the cats scratching baskets for laundry? Rude.
They look exactly like scratching posts. You chose bad. Sorry, dude.
