Stopping cat from clawing furniture
One of our cats is bad about clawing some of our furniture. Can anyone recommend a spray or remedy to stop her? She has never been an outside cat.

Very good advice from everyone. One addition, cats also scratch to mark territory, not just to sharpen or deal with nails. The paws have a concentration of glandular cells that emit pheromones and these are left on the places cats do the scratching behavior.
Cats that have been declawed will still do the scratching behavior.
NOTE: Declawing is a touchy subject form some, let's not get into a philosophical argument about that procedure but keep with ways to deal with the behavioral issue posed by the OP.
