If your cat has developed a habit of scratching the wallpaper, you're not alone. Many cat owners face this issue, but there are several things you can do to prevent it.

The first step is to provide your cat with an alternative scratching surface. Cats need to scratch to keep their claws healthy, and if they don't have an appropriate outlet, they'll use whatever is available, including your wallpaper. Invest in a few scratching posts or pads and place them in areas where your cat spends a lot of time. You can also try placing them near the wallpaper your cat has been scratching.

Another option is to make the wallpaper less attractive to your cat. There are various deterrent sprays available in the market that are safe for cats and can be sprayed directly on the wallpaper. These sprays have a scent that is unpleasant to cats and will discourage them from scratching the wallpaper.

You can also try covering the wallpaper with double-sided tape or aluminum foil. Cats do not like the feeling of these materials on their paws and will avoid scratching the area.

Finally, make sure your cat has plenty of toys and a comfortable place to rest. Cats scratch when they're bored or stressed, so keeping them entertained and happy can prevent them from scratching the wallpaper.
