We have a 4mth old cat. He is a lovely cat but unfortunately he has a very bad habit of attacking the kids, especially when they are asleep in their beds. He has also clawed holes in my literally 1 day old leather lounge.

He has scratching posts. He knows he isnt allowed on the couch. He knows not to bite or claw anyone but he does it anyway. Ive tried just about everything to get him to stop.

Its at the point where the kids are not fond of him anymore. It pains me to think I might have to take him back to the RSPCA

Any idea's?

The kids sleep with their doors open so closing their doors to keep him out wont work, but locking him in the laundry as soon as its bedtime isnt cool either *sigh*
