Thanks, aleCcowaN. I’ll just have to memorize which word is associated with each verb.

For me, ¿Cómo logro que mi gato no rasguñe los muebles? has more of a feeling of “How do I get my cat not to scratch the furniture,” and “¿Cómo le enseño a mi gato a no rasguñar los muebles? as “How do I teach my cat not to scratch the furniture.” Since I wanted to emphasize “teach my cat,” I’ll use the sentence with the infinitive.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
