I'm not exactly sure what is meant by a bar. There are metal pipes sunk in cement used to tie your horse. That is called a tie bar. It is also referred to as a 'hitching post' and can be wood, metal, or plastic depending upon where and when you find it.

How can you train cats not to scratch?

Cats have to scratch for their claws to stay healthy. Introduce them to a cat scratching post. Place the cat's feet on it as you hold the cat in an upright position and rub the feet on the post. Sometimes placing a toy or the scent of cat nip on the post will intice them more. Continue to encourage the cat to use the post. Eventually, it should get the hint.You don't want the cat to never have something to scratch. Their claws could become abnormally long or twisted and cause them and you problems. If your cat has a particular place he/she likes to scratch, then you could place the post in front of it and after a week or 2 put the post a little bit away from the spot. Continue that and eventually your cat will seek out the post on its own.
