That is sad. I have had cats all of my 40+ years, the last 20 in my own home. I've never had a cat scratch the furniture, but I have always provided multiple alternatives and now with all the options readily available it is so much easier to provide them. I have 3 at home now and my couch does not have a mark on it and it's 15 years old. The scratchers have copped a beating though!

Her reason is that she has maintained the couch and the dining table well and that she could get back a decent amount of she sold them today. I personally don't think it's that expensive but if that's how she feels, so be it.

I even offered to cover any costs, and even train the cat. Whatever I guess. I'll get one once I move to my own place in the future 😭

Second hand furniture is only worth what people are willing to pay for it, which isn't much!

I don’t know. Not to hold anything against them but if you’re only selling furniture you can’t possibly be so attached to it vs furniture you wanted to keep forever.

There must be another reason as to why they backed out of the idea of having a cat.

unless that dining table is covered in rattan the cats are not going to scratch it

Yep, lots of "no, but..." alternatives to choose from to prove a secondary and more preferred outlet.
