I have had hundreds of generic family cats in my lifetime, a couple dozen memorable, half a dozen Celestial in quality.

To save your furniture. get scratching posts. Many scratching posts, at least one per major room. Replace when used up. Cats need to scratch to sharpen their claws. Cats need claws. They will repay you by catching mice. Also rats, if rats are a problem, which I hope they are not. But everybody is vulnerable to mice. And bugs. Cats eat bugs, too. Moths, for example. We have not had to pay an exterminator for many decades.

Dogs scratch the floors and the doors and rub up against the walls leaving stains.

We have the perfect pet--a feral cat who stays outdoors and whom we share with two guys next door who pay the vet bills, such as they are. I made what I call a "cat cooker" for winter months--a storage box with a door and a heating pad set on low under a towel, which the cat loves. Well protected from weather by a deep front porch.
