He looked at me like its my fault too.

Yeah, we've tried adding more scratching posts of various sizes, tried foil, citrus, ignoring him when he scratches the couch while praising him when using scrathing posts, and probably more methods that I'm forgetting. The little asshole still won't leave the couch alone.

There's not much you can do in the first place. Especially if you let them free roam in the house.

It's him being his usual self not properly cleaning his ass after a dookie.

its like skid marks to my eyes, but...ey!
