Unsolicited advice: there’s wide, double-sided tape on Amazon that’s inexpensive. It comes off without taking the couch fabric with it, and if you put it where she scratches, she won’t. Giving her something else to scratch is a great idea, and it will help her change her habits if you also discourage her old scratching places.
Something likethis - I’m not vouching for this brand, it was just the first result.
This worked wonders for me 5 years ago, and still not scratching up the furniture. If you’re feeling extra cheap like I was, you can double over (roll into a loop) packing tape so it’s sticky on both sides.
For finishing the wood: walrus oil (for cutting boards)
