Redirect that scratching energy to a vertical cardboard scratcher placed right next to the rug. I learned that cats often scratch horizontal surfaces like rugs to stretch their back muscles after play, so giving them a similar texture but in a more acceptable spot works well. Try sprinkling a bit of catnip on the scratcher to make it more appealing than the rug.
