Answer
Hi,  Make sure his nails are kept very short, that will help. Using a dremmel will help the most.  Walmart has them in the tool department for around twenty dollars.  Also there are beds made by Kong now that are very strong and resist scratching.   Also,  try buying a cat bed instead of a dog bed they are made a little better.

Cats will sometimes go out of the litter box, when it is dirty, but also if they have an infection of the bladder.  You might want to have the cat checked.
