Panther Armor Cat Scratch Deterrent Tape - Double Sided Anti Scratching Sticky Tape for Sofa and Couch Corners - Furniture Protector from Cats

I bought these sheets back in 2021, and I finally went through all the sheets I had--I came back to reorder, and figured the least I could do is leave a review!These honestly have made a huge difference in the scratching habits of my cats. Overall I've been fortunate to have little general issues with my cats scratching my couch, but sometimes they get a wild hair and I use these to deter claws in my furniture.Pros:-Easy to use, you can cut them to sizes you may need or shapes you may need.-They work! Cats almost immediately stopped scratching when I applied them.-Long-lasting--usually it takes one or two interactions with the tape for cats to get the idea.Cons:-Things can and will stick to them once they're applied. Blankets, clothes, etc. If you're planning on placing this stuff in a high-traffic area, I'd maybe consider using the plastic sheets with pins instead. Panther makes a version of these.-In addition to sticking to clothes, the tape did pull out some fur from my cats if they stood on the tape or brushed up against it. Not ripping anything out mind you, but it will pull some loose hair out, and that can be a little gross looking.-Not all surfaces are created equal--I had some cheap curtains that the tape will not come off of. They were affordable enough I can replace them, but something to keep in mind if you plan on using these on curtains.

I'm putting this at the start in case the company checks reviews - on the product sheet insert, the company thanks customers for not declawing their cats. This is a great message, except as shown in the second image of my review, it uses a photo of a cat getting their claws trimmed to illustrate the point. While I'd like to think people understand it's just a picture, I've actually met cat owners who declawed their cats and believed it was as harmless as a normal nail trim with a nail clipper. What would be far better than misrepresenting the declawing procedure would be explaining what it does to a cat - for anyone unfamiliar, a cat's claws are fully integrated into their skeletal structure so declawing them is the mechanical equivalent of losing your fingertips, NOT your fingernails. It can seriously affect their balance and causes a lot of mental stress for some cats. A nail clipper, if designed for cats and kept away from the nail bed (or the "quick") is a safe and humane tool in contrast - and keeping claws trimmed can even encourage some cats to use healthy sharpening toys like scratching posts!!That said, the product is great so far! There's no real scent, and the packaging is GREAT, no unnecessary waste! Reading the instructions was quick, and applying the sheet was a breeze. My cat (see photo 3 for the accused hiding on a shelf) was never a furniture destroyer so this is my first time needing a product like this, but in her old age (going on 15-16) she'll chew and swallow sisal fibers compulsively so I had to switch out her traditional wrapped scratching post for one with knitted sisal. Sufficed to say she isn't pleased by the new fancy post and instead began using the corner of my bed to scratch. I have linen sheets so at the beginning this didn't damage them (pro tip for other cat owners: linen's weave is loose enough that claws will rarely snag on threads!) but after four months of not being able to get her to pay attention to the scratching post, even linen fell prey to her little claws and she tore a little hole in the fitted sheet last week.So, enter the panther tape! I applied a mid-size sheet to the area she goes for (corner of my bed, check the first review photo!) and put the scratching post closer to it as incentive. It's a little noticeable if your furniture is front facing, but if you're like me and want to use this on your bed, the stickiness that's on the outside isn't as strong as the adhesive on the inside, so you can safely hide it under a duvet or flat sheet. I'll update my review at the one month mark, when I plan to take the sheet off and see if my cat's lost interest! If not, there are plenty more sheets in the package, and in three different sizes, so it's a great value for the cost.

As a cat owner, I have been struggling for quite some time to find a solution to prevent my furry friend from scratching my couch. Thankfully, I stumbled across a couch scratch deterrent specifically designed for cats, and I have been pleased with its effectiveness.Firstly, what impressed me the most about this product is its simplicity in design. It consists of transparent adhesive sheets that can be easily applied to the areas of the couch most prone to scratching. The sheets blend seamlessly with the couch, and they are barely noticeable. This feature is great for those who want to preserve the aesthetics of their furniture while minimizing damage caused by their cats.The adhesive sheets are thick enough to withstand even the most vigorous scratching attempts. This is vital as other products I've tried in the past would get easily torn, rendering them ineffective. With this deterrent, my couch has remained unscathed even after months of use.One thing to note is that the deterrent may need reapplication after a certain period of time. The manufacturer recommends replacing the adhesive sheets every three to four weeks, depending on the cat's scratching behavior. Although this may seem like a drawback, the affordability of replacement sheets eases any concerns about the ongoing cost.Moreover, the deterrent is entirely harmless to both cats and furniture. It does not involve any unpleasant odors or get in the way of daily activities. I also appreciate the fact that it does not leave any residue or damage the couch when removed.In terms of effectiveness, the deterrent has undeniably reduced scratching significantly. My cat was initially deterred by the sticky surface and quickly learned to avoid the protected areas. Over time, she formed new scratching habits in more appropriate locations, such as a designated scratching post.While this couch scratch deterrent is effective, practical, and reasonably priced, it does have a minor drawback in terms of the duration of its effectiveness. However, this can be easily dealt with by staying on top of the replacement schedule. All in all, this product has truly reduced my cat's interest in scratching my couch and provided a much-needed solution to protecting my furniture.In conclusion, I highly recommend this couch scratch deterrent for any cat owner who is seeking a simple and efficient solution to preserve their couch from their cat's scratching tendencies. It strikes the right balance between effectiveness, practicality, and affordability, making it an excellent investment for both you and

I was worried they’d look silly, but you can barely see them. I also didn’t like how it’s sticky on both sides bc the cat and dog hair stick to it, but after a while it’s less sticky. It works, I have not see my cats scratch at it. Definitely recommend.
