Keeping cats of certain Furniture?
Hello again :)
This time it is a question for my 2 cats. I have a beauty room set up just off the laundry where I keep the cat litter. The room is not for public, but it is my office and I practice facials, massage and keep my stock. Now, my massage table is set up in the room but the cats are playing on it at night. How to keep them off it? They are digging their claws in it eventually going to ruin it. I live in Australia so is there any good spray or deterrent to spray on it? Keeping in-mind our home is really, really small and the laundry is the only place for their litter and the thoroughfare is through my office.
Regards.

I believe the only way to keep your cats out of this room is to close the door if there is one, and to install a wood door or a folding door if there is not. Sprays and deterrents are not reliable ways to keep cats out of the room. If you keep the cats's boxes in there, there is really no way to keep them out. You may have to put the boxes someplace else, which may be distasteful to you but may be the only way to make this room off limits to the cats. Other than that, you may want to put tin (aluminum foil) on the table to keep the cats off as they do not like the sound of the tinfoil under their feet, but this is not really a reliable solution. If you do massages and beauty procedures in that room, it may benefit your customers to put the litterboxes in some other room. A little reorganizing might be in the cards for you.
