Cat Scratch Training Tape

Update 9/3/20: I did end up removing the tape 3 weeks after applying it. No damage to leather and wood furniture. Remember I applied it lightly. My cat hasn't touched any of the mentioned areas for 5 months. Well, until today. Maybe she needed a little reminder or maybe it was revenge for giving her a bath?!? Either way tape went back up and this is still the best solution for us:) SUUUPER sticky!! This will stick to everything! Works 100%. So, I never had an issue with my 12 year old cat until I moved into my new home with my dumb idea....Why not get all new wood and leather furniture? :(. Yup, soon after I spent 3 weeks of hell. Constantly looking over my shoulder ready to pounce any sound similar to scratching or close to it. (sometimes crunching plastic bags). But with 1 week of hard research I found a simple, maybe temporary, solution. Double sided tape! Her favorite nail trimming areas are my entertainment center, leather ottoman and door trims. It only took 2 days for this bad behavior to start! I did need to find a workaround when using this tape on the mentioned furniture though. Since the tape is so sticky it removes some laminate and lightens the wood a bit when its peeled off. It also peeled some paint off of the door trims and it's so strong it leaves kind of like a scar mark on my leather ottomanan. Because of this I had to cut strips in half lengthwise and lightly apply to edges of areas she attacks. I leave the tape a little loose. Also, I stick it to the carpet once and peel it off to reduce the strength of the glue. Separating the tape from the roll can take me a minute or two since the arrow guide is only on the start of the roll. I know this seems like a lot of work but I don't mind because it saves my furniture. She hasn't touched those areas in 10 days. As soon as I gather my courage I will be removing the tape. Remember when you do remove it very slowly or you could damage your new furniture! Again, I wouldn't stick it whole side flat against any wood or painted areas just lightly around edges. Don't forget you still need to get a scratching post!! Keep it nearby. You need to give her something to satisfy the urge to scratch. I hope this review makes life a little easier for all pet lovers out there:)

Product is exactly as described. It's a bit difficult to peel the paper away.

This stuff is very sticky. On most fabric that's not a problem, but some things like foam mats or anything where the finish might get ripped off I wouldn't want to chance it, at least not without using some sort of less sticky backing on it. I'd say there's probably a demand for a less sticky version of this stuff in addition to the very sticky version. It very quickly got my cat off the sofa arms and sides. I didn't even need to leave it there for more than a few days. But it's not so great for tables and counter tops since it's very hard to leave it on those heavily used places for long enough. And kitty might just be too tempted by the prospect of some food crumbs and spills to care about a little sticky stuff. But when it comes to some much less rewarding areas, like sofa arms and corners, it's very effective.

This tape has been a great deterrent to stop my cat from scratching on the recliner. This is an excellent size tape of four inches. It has stayed attached to the recliner for months without losing it’s stickiness. It was easy to apply without getting stuck to my fingers. I highly recommend this tape.

Would stay stuck on my upholstery.

This worked very well to keep my cat from scratching on the couch.

I have had cat tape before and this one is awful. It’s basically impossible to get one side of the backing off. I sat for an hour and I even have tools for making vinyl stickers. Save yourself the headache and avoid this one.

Excited to try. Just got new furniture and even though the cat can’t get under it to tear up the bottom he has already scratched on one of the sides by turning sideways. We had stapled tinfoil but it started coming off. Using the tape to hold on the tinfoil is my solution to avoid the dirt and dust collection. It’s nice that I can cut the tape to size around the edges.

Este producto cumple con las expectativas. Es un auténtico repelente de arañazos y además el adhesivo se mantiene durante mucho tiempo protegiendo los muebles. Al principio es demasiado adhesivo, tanto que casi tengo que despegar al gato. Después de su testeo.. no se acerca!!! 🤣

Das doppelseitige Klebeband hat das bewirkt, was es sollte: Der Kater kratzt nicht mehr an der Couch. Das Klebeband ist kaum zu sehen. Natürlich bleibt man u.U. mit der Hose daran kurz kleben. Keiner meiner Besucher stört sich daran. Hauptsache die Couch bleibt ganz. Ich kann diese einfache Möglichkeit nur empfehlen.

This is the only thing we've found to get our cat to stop clawing at the furniture. The tape is nice and wide to cover lots of surface area. Its a little difficult to install on corners and such, but nothing unexpected with a double sided tape. It would almost be better if the outward side was a little less sticky than the back side to avoid getting stuck to it during installation, but overall a great product that does the trick. It is clear and not extremely shiny so you can barely tell its there.

Efficace pour les chats, mais collant pour nous dès qu'on y touche !

Muy buen producto !
