Yeah I'm sure it's easy to do raw if you have all the meals delivered at home from some expensive gourmet service. These guys are talking about hiring a personal chef? Less posts about overly privileged upper middle class people please.

I cured my cat of scratching using a technique my brother-in-law told me about. Whenever I saw her start to scratch something she wasn't supposed to be: I gently picked her up, brought her to the scratching post and physically held her paws and moved them in a scratching motion on the post until she started to struggle. Then, simply let her go of her paws, let her run away and wait until the next time she started scratching the couch again.

It worked like a miracle. But, it did require patience and took more than a few weeks of working with her on it. Eventually she stopped scratching anything but the post altogether.

I don't know how taxing this technique would be if you had multiple cats, but it worked for me with my one.
