How do I stop your cats scratching on your dining room table?

If you want cat to stop scratching the dining room table what you do is you give him/her a pop on the nose and say NO BAD CAT that what I do to my cat and she stop then him/her would know you mad. There are little sticky strips you can buy in some places. You can stick them onto the the dining room table and when the cats scratches the strip, it won't like the feeling and it either might not scratch the table that often anymore or stop.
