Oh it looks like a train engine! How fun! Can we see the whole of the new scratchy thing?

A different angle is the most I can provide, unfortunately.

My cat refuses to use those vertical column scratchers. I have to get vertical ones which are much wider than that. Also he just prefers to scratch the couch anyway even with ample scratchers that he uses >:(

Thing that worked for us (may or may not work for you): put packing tape or (better) double-sided tape over the area of the couch your cat scratches. Put an approved scratcher they like to use nearby. Ideally right next to the area they've been scratching. You can reinforce even stronger if you give treats when they use the correct scratcher.
