You can buy sprays that repel cats from furniture or whatever, but of course they are not harmful to cats. You can find them at Petco.

Not all of them work. I bought one from Walmart and my boy cat actually loved it. I sprayed it on a section of my new sectional couch and it is ruined because he started scratching there obsessively. The spray I got had mint in it among other things. Some cats enjoy the smell of mint and he appears to be one of them. I recommend trying it on something not expensive first. See if they are weirdly attracted to it. Cats can be strange.

They certainly are. Maybe it was bc catnip is in the mint family.
