I have been able to keep my cats off of the furniture.  They love there cat tower.  They sleep on it during the day in front of the window with the sun shinning on them,  It is very sturdy and nice to look at.  My older cat sleeps below in the big house.  My new cat tore the bird off the first day and sleeps in the smaller house.  Pooh my male sleeps at the top.  I wish I could have gotten it sooner, but this one was the perfect one.  The wait was well worth it.
