My current Abbycat is my prize winner. I feel sort of guilty about other great pets but she's amazing. She's a cat and has actually been trained for some somewhat complex things. She has never scratched my furniture and if she thinks about it throwing a toy stops her. If she gets into something just saying "use your scratcher" makes her stop. She's pretty amazing.

Have you had a dental cleaning for your pet? My vet says she needs one but it is so expensive.
