I applied this to all the corners of all the chairs in my living room. My cat no longer scratches the furniture, however he does seem to be attracted to the tape and I’ll frequently catch him licking the tape (he’s weird, I know). It has to be reapplied periodically, as it picks up a lot of dust, cat hair etc. Even when it’s not very sticky my cat won’t scratch it though. So I’m hoping maybe he’s just learned not to scratch there and we may not need to keep reapplying the tape.

Overall, I’d recommend giving this a try if your cat is destroying your furniture.

I just recently bought new couches that my two cats grew a liking to. Along the sides and the front of the couch I started seeing claw markings and I was upset that my brand new couches were going to be ruined if I didn’t find something quick to solve the problem. My couches are a microfiber material so these claw markings were noticeable. I searched online and found that most sprays did not work and I came across DR Fosters sticky paws! This is an amazing product!! The sheets are perforated and you can adjust how much u want to cover. I put sheets along the sides of both my couches and let me tell you, my cats never touched my couch again! And I was worried that u would see the sheets on my couch… NOPE! They are clear and are completely unnoticeable even on microfiber material! Also very easy to remove and theres no sticky residue!! I just have to say this product is a must!! This product saved my beautiful couches from destruction!!! Love love love it!

I was hesitant about this product but bought it out of sheer desperation. I was surprised at how well it deters my cats from trying to shred my new couch to death.

I do not recommend it for non-fabric surfaces (i.e. counters) because it leaves a mark when you peel it off. But for couches, beds, etc. it’s FABULOUS.

Solved my whole “should I get the cats declawed” issue.
