For cats, the eighth meter is called Scratch. For dogs, it is Chew. Scratch & Chew replace the enivroment motive for pets. Cats need to sharpen their claws now and then, and will seek out whatever is nearby to do so. Buying a scratching post or a chew toy in Buy Mode, will lessen the risk that pets will destroy furniture. If a pet does annihilate a bed, couch, or whateveretc, it cannot be repaired. All that can be done is clean up the mess and buy a new one.
 
Pets can be trained to use scratching posts and chew toys, of course, but they typically will do it on their own anyway. Training is best done by praising the pet for scratching or chewing things that the player wants it to scratch or chew, otherwise it might fall back to destroying furniture. If a pet destroys valuable furniture, scold it, though it's best if the Sim has a good relationship with the pet before scolding it.
