A quick google search will give numerous resources on how to stop cats scratching your furniture..

Better yet take a little time use your brain and make sure you train your cat to scratch at the appropriate location. Just make sure the scratching post is longer than their body is stretched out, cover it in some catnip and tasty smells, and they will use it forever. My cats are 8 and 6 now and have never clawed up furniture or carpet. Just their posts.
