Sticky Paws -Keep your cat from shredding your furniture.

Our friend's cat is a rug scratcher. I am having problems with her with this. I sprinkle a little catnip on the Turbo Scratcher to get her to scratch at that. It works until the nip gets on the carpet.

I will keep the double sided tape in mind. You know me, I am frugal.

I have used it for the past 3 years and it works great.

You are most welcome. My husband freaked out when our cat began attacking our furniture. The Sticky Paws really did the trick. She didn't like that sticky stuff on her paws.

This is a good tip. This is one of the ways obedience trainers suggest you use to keep your pets off of things.

That would defeat the purpose though. I know you don't want to hurt your pet, but that is somewhat of the point. The noise and the possibility of getting hurt is suppose to drive them away from the area. Similar to what the shock pads do.

Wow, great idea. It would probably work for the cats that jump on the counters too. You could cover them with a towel and add sponge like material to them so they would not cause injury to the pet.

Sorry about your toes. We just keep ours covered up with a couple of thick blankets.

Petco was where I first purchased Sticky Paws. I need to do cost comparison with this website and Petco. I am frugal.

Thank you for your comments Dan.

we had looked at these for our cats. It is just easier to keep their claws trimmed, give them a place to actually scratch, and train them to listen when you say no.

It is clear.

Yes, you are correct. I bought this tape last year because my cat started scratching are new furniture, which is now almost a year old and on the one side has been literally shredded. The tape, however, is still in the same original spot where he started. It looks horrible. I throw my apghgan over the arm of the area and let it lay and hide the taped area. You cannot completely cover with apghgans though, right? I bought the herbal spray which my cat dislikes and spray all of the furniture and my now new curtains. It has to be done for a couple of days in a row and then repeated as needed. They still scratch and damage has already been done. Ya know I waited 3 years to get that furniture!! I have filled a can with pennies and when he scratches, I throw the can near. Just scares her away but works when I am there. I have just ordered slipcovers for my furniture. They will be ugly but I am covering the shredded furniture. Good luck. Soft paws do not stay on. I guess you can throw covers over it and then when people come over, remove them. Lots of luck Christa

Our friend's cat tries to use the couch as a scratching post. We get her over to the Turbo Scratcher as quick as possible. They would let her scratch their furniture all that time. I really fear for my furniture. Hopefully the Sticky Paws will deter her.

We had a problem when it was first applied. If it was recently placed on the furniture and we got too close to it with our clothes, it would stick and peel off.
