I honestly don't think it has to be a big problem.
Little Sally has favourite places where she likes to scatch, and makes a bee-line for those particular things.
There's an old slatted hardwood door-mat...a long pine log standing by a water barrel...the thick planks which contain the vegetable garden patches...and an apple tree. Now I have never seen her scratch anywhere else.
So as far as I can make out, she views only those places as her 'scratching places'. And does that of her own accord. No-one encouraged her to.
It might be because she has got used to them, and it's now habit for her.
It seems to show that it really doesn't have to be a problem, once a cat is used to scratching in a certain place.
This is Sally....
