Product Information

Firstly, it’s important to remember that scratching in the house is not your cat’s fault – they are not deliberately choosing to deface your furniture and upholstery. They are simply doing what is natural for them. So here are some solutions that might help to save your furniture and your relationship with your pet. Give Them A Scratching Post If your cat is scratching because they feel insecure you will need to find the source of their problem and remove it if possible. It could be other cats in the area or a fear of something that they came across when outside, such as a car or dog. They may feel that these scary things could come into the house, and therefore they need to protect it.

You can work out what and where your cat likes to scratch the most and use this as a basis for what you should be buying. Place scratching posts near or even over the furniture that your cat is scratching and hopefully your cat should be attracted to this new spot. Upholstered furniture and carpets are the two surfaces this type of tape seems to work best for, so if your cat has a penchant for scratching on your sofa or chairs, it could be the right solution to your problem. KatSupreme double-sided deterrent tape comes in extra-large sheets measuring 12 inches wide and 17 inches long. They’re sold in sets of 8, 10, or 12 to deliver damage-free protection for furniture and other surfaces around the home. The sheets are flexible and transparent, so they are adaptable for surfaces of nearly any size or shape, and they blend in for near-invisible protection. Additionally, since it is transparent, it’s not going to appear obvious after being applied to your furniture. Some customers comment that their cats aren’t interested in the product. If you’re using the mat as a furniture protector, however, and provide alternative scratching surfaces for your cat the goal of scratch deterrence will still be accomplished. What We Liked:

The 5 Best Cat Scratch Deterrents on the Market

If you're a cat owner, you'll be familiar with the sounds of cats digging their claws into furniture nearby. You'll know the sound of their claws ripping through precious fabrics. Not to mention the cat hair that comes along with it. But alas, it doesn't need to be so heartbreaking when you can control what these kitties dig their claws into. Show their happiness: Have you ever had a cat come to knead into your belly or legs with their claws? This is them showing their comfort with you. It's said that cats do this when they're kittens to get the milk out of their mother's teats. Now, they do it on humans to replicate that comfort. Why you shouldn't declaw your cat Of course, if your cat is really adamant about scratching in the same place despite her discomfort, she might get the tape off your couch in a record amount of time. These cat scratching products are really easy to come across and you can generally find them in any general pet shop and even some supermarkets. Cats are very in tune with their senses, and since they don’t have as much naked skin on their bodies as people do, they often use their paws to test out the ‘feel’ of surfaces.

Pros: Combination scratcher/furniture guard; fits snugly against a couch, chair corner, or furniture leg; held in place by weight of furniture instead of tape or pins; made of toxin-free sisal; available in five colorsIf you invest in some essential oils, wash your furniture with these scents or even put some of these scents into a spray bottle, you may find that your cat isn't so fond of these areas anymore. Cats knead and scratch around everything. From their own cat beds, furniture and carpets to their mother's bellies, it's in a cat's instinct. But, how do you stop your cat from scratching your furniture? This double-sided tape is made with perfectly safe materials, and the adhesive also doesn’t run the risk of affecting your cat’s health in any way. Cats love to explore the world around them, especially if something new comes into their home. If this is the case, marking it with their scent seems like a great idea to them. ‘New’ to a cat might not be new to a human, however. For example, a piece of wallpaper that starts to peel off the wall could seem like a new and exciting toy to a cat – one that just has to be played with and tested out. Pulling a piece of this wallpaper will result in either a feeling that the cat enjoys or more ‘questions’ in the cat’s mind. Plus, a cat will have the bonus of gaining their owner’s attention (even if it is in an angry way). Communication

Clawguard Furniture Shields are an easy-to-install, semi-permanent fix to protect furniture and carpet from a cat's claws. To help with this problem you can get a catflap that only lets your own pet in and out. Alternatively, you can forget the catflap altogether and let the cat in and out yourself. Nail caps prevent your cat's claws from scratching your furniture. Calder likes Soft Claws, and out of the two nail cap brands we considered, we found the medium-sized Soft Claws nail caps to be better sized for a 9- to 13-pound cat's claws. The first, and possibly most obvious way to stop your cat from scratching your furniture, is to give them another area to scratch, like a scratching post or board.Ideally, the tape should also be odourless. While most cats have extremely sensitive noses, some can suffer from asthma or allergies to some chemicals — so it’s best to stay on the safe side of things. Comfort Zone calming spray comes in a 2-ounce bottle which is ideal for travel. It offers a safe, non-toxic solution for problem scratching and may also help reduce issues with urine marking and other anxiety-induced behavioral problems. Scratching can also become a habit over time and your cat might not even realize that they are doing it. This is one of the easiest reasons to solve. Curiosity Using cat houses, climbing frames and cat trees allows your cat to have their own space whilst also giving them a lot of different features to play around with.
