Get... get a scratching board...
It works except when it doesn't.
Our previous cats (who have all crossed the rainbow bridge) were happy to use scratching posts.
Our current cats are a different story. We've tried scratching posts with various coverings, including cardboard, jute, and carpet, and even uncovered, bare wood. They all prefer one particular chair, and occasionally the wood trim on one corner of the kitchen.
Shrug
Opposite here, my childhood cat wouldn't use scratching posts but my current cat has no problems using them! (Which is odd because my childhood cat was so chill and my current cat is a menace to society lol)
