Sticky Paws -Keep your cat from shredding your furniture.

You know, this sounds like a better remedy than the 'soft paws' that I read about here on Mylot yesterday. People were saying that the soft paws that you put on your pet's paws just fall off. This sounds like a much better deterrent to keep your cats or other clawed pets from tearing up your furniture! I'll definitely keep it in mind for when I have pets around the house again. What a great tip, thank you!^_^

You could use carpet tape too. I might try this out. But my cats don't really claw to many things. They have their own scratching post and do a pretty good job at using it. I will keep this in mind and pass it on to friends. Thank you!

My sister bought soome of this because she had a rescue kitten that kept trying to use her new couch as a scratching spot. She put it on a couple of times and thought her daughter was taking it off. When my niece came home my sister was waiting to let her have it. Well my niece denied removing it. Then just a few minutes after that she saw the dog run behind the chair on the other side of the room. She went and looked, there was 5 strips of the darn tape all balled up. She put more on and watched from the kitchen. He went over and kept licking it till he got a corner up and pulled it off. Then he ran and put it behind the chair. She said she never laughed so hard. God only knows what the dog was thinking, maybe he was helping the cat?? She said she has gotten the dog to stop and it does work to stop the kitten from scratching, especially since the dog is leaving it alone.

There is just one thing that I do not like about Sticky Paws. I watch my cousins one year old at least once a week and they have this stuff on four different parts of their couch. It never fails that the baby is walking around on the couch and ends up getting stuck to it.

I will definetly have to order some. We were given some very nice furniture and we put some of my son's toys in front of the corners at night so the cat's won't scratch it, but I like that idea better because my one cat uses my son's Elmo chair as her bed! But at least they are not scratching the furniture. We have 2 scratching post set up and they use those along with the old set of furniture I had.

This sounds like a good product, it's nice that it's clear too. I'll defiantly keep it in mind when I do decide to get my kitten.

Thanks for the idea. There is nothing worse than getting cat hair all over you all the time.

When I had my cats I did try this tape .. to be honest it's much cheaper to buy ordinary double sided sticky tape .. I also found it a real problem to keep clean .. you only need for your pet to go past it once and there are so many hairs it needs replacing ..

Personally I found it much easier to train my cat not to scratch the furniture .. a firm NO and gently pushing the cat away from the furniture soon did the trick and after just a few weeks I never had anymore problems for the 20 years I had my beloved cats ..

My only concern would be how it appears on the furniture. Is it very visible and ugly? That kind of defeats the purpose of stopping the cats from scratching...to preserve the new look. If it's covered in tape, won't it look bad anyways?

That is a neat idea. It should be a hit. I know my cat is always scratching something..and I am yelling at her to stop. This is a good thing...
