Magic does the same thing with her ball.....and has since she was a very little! We have tried blankets on the floor and taking up the ball if she does it repeatedly.....nothing worked. We finally started working on ways to block how far she could push something under the couch.....started with various pads/cushions under the furniture......and eventually ended up using wood and built barriers....crazy I know but it worked......now she cannot get anything stuck! Of course she still finds weird places to get the ball stuck.....but at least we have the common places blocked!

At first it appeared she did it for attention, but we find she would even do it when we were gone and who knows how long she spent scratching to get that ball......and she would focus only on getting the ball when we got home! (Even ignoring treats, outside or even our attention.....until she had the ball again.)

Good luck finding a solution that works for your family!!
