Why do cats scratch up your furniture? Experts will tell you it's to keep their claws in good shape, either sharpening them or trimming them, I'm not sure. Frankly, I think it's just because they enjoy doing it. But if you ask a cat, you'll probably get a different answer.
A dog would never have this attitude. They are delighted to be living in their human's house. Cats, on the other hand, have to be in charge and they won't let you forget it. It's part of their charm. This comic is from Jimmy Craig at They Can Talk.
