Like their larger wild counterparts, cats need to keep their claws trimmed and sharpened. As a tiger or a lion in the wild would do this on a tree - unfortunately your cat will do this on your furniture if they do not have an alternative. There is no point trying to stop your cat clawing as it is normal - you need to encourage your cat to scratch on other things like a scratching post:
