Consider Bitter Apple for chewing issues and Feliway for anxiety
issues. I have some metal outdoor chairs in my sunroom and they are
very comfortable. I had different cushions fixed for looks but the
frames are wonderful and they swivel which is extremely great in this
room. Suggest some of the outdoor fabric conditioners/water proofing
sprays--Thompson etc. for the cushions. Air out for a while so there
is no fumes in the house though.

Thanks Lee,
I have a 'special needs'... mentally and physically.... cat that
pulls all things shiny out. I would have to use safety pins and
pray she didn't kill herself trying to chew it. She chews
electrical cords as well and shattered my laptop display.... She
has the "bobble head" disorder. She also falls a lot..on hard tile
floors....
Actually, a friend recommended I buy outdoor patio furniture with
cushions made to be washed. Not a bad idea, I'm thinking. Not too
comfy, but I live by myself. I could just keep all the cushions in
the spare bedroom unless I have company. I kept all sofa cushions
put away already, and they peed on the sofas anyway. No wicker, but
they can't scratch metal. I'm considering it.
Except for the heating aspect, my bed has at least 4 waterproof
quilted layers on it. When someone wets the bed I can throw off the
covers, peel off the top mattress pad, shower off, grab a blanket,
and go back to sleep!
I have conquered the bed and done away with carpet. I'm good except
the sofas! Of course they'll just find another place if they want.
They know they have the powerrrrr!
I saw a lots great ideas!
My vet said to just face the fact that if you have elderly cats
they will eventually have kidney problems.... true.

To prevent the bedding and sofa covers from being snatched off the
furniture by the cat you can purchase sticky-back Velcro. Attach
one side to the underside of the plastic sheeting or whatever you
are using and place the matching strip on the sofa and press down
to stick it to the sofa material. It doesn't have to be perfect
but it will prevent the plastic from drifting away off the sofa.
You can also use things like metal clips purchased at an office
supply store to clip the plastic to the sofa. Use enough of them.
You can also purchase screw pins that are used to pin sofa covers
to old furniture. Doesn't do any damage. The small hole it makes
closes up when the pin is removed.
Have you thought about buying a fitted sofa and love seat cover?
You can have the back plasticized with a heat process. You have to
look this up in the phone book though, under plasticizing or phone
an upholstery company and see if they can do that.
As a last resort, put your sofa and love seat and TV in a separate
room that can be closed off and put plastic lawn furniture in you
living room and turn the living room over to the misbehaving cat.
I'm going to buy some of that cat attract litter. Can it be mixed
with pine litter or clay litter? I can't afford anything very
expensive. I usually get donated litter here. I have so many cats
who think outside of the box that I no longer use a pooper
scooper. I use a small yard shovel. Sigh. The President of one
of our rescue organizations is going to build an outside shelter
attached to a shed on her property for 15 cats who will never learn
litter box protocol. They were rescued after their former owner
passed away. They are older cats with set habits and some health
issues, not adoptable. It seems like the cat rescue movement is
filled with saints and angels, the best of the human species.
