How many scratching posts on the stairs do you have?You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

Can you make a scratching post from a wooden box ( weighted with bricks ) and a piece of old / off-cut carpet ? Maybe it is the shape / colour / place they don't like.0

Try to be nearby, with a water pistol or indoor plant sprayer (nozzle to jet). Mine, use to scratch the carpet in multiple places - now only one!!I used to work for Tesco - now retired - speciality Clubcard0

If he is particularly fond of scratching the stairs, could you fix with tacks a piece of carpet, or even a cheap carpet pile doormat from the Poundshop to the bottom tread to encourage him to only scratch there? Perhaps even spray it with some of the spray stuff that is known as Play Spray for cats to attract him to this bottom tread only. This will protect the landlords stair carpet at least & can easily be removed when the time comes to move out.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
