Cats are semi-trainable, but people often don't try hard enough or assume there is no point.
All it took was a few times for me to yell; "HEY!" and stomp my foot, and she caught on as to where should could and couldn't scratch. You just have to start when they are kittens. I also give her treats by her post to make her know that it was a good place to hang out.
Every once in a while she has a lapse in judgement and after I yell, she stops and goes to her post.
