Sticky Paws: Cat Scratch Deterrent Tape and Sheets

Protect sofas and chairs while you retrain scratching habits. Sticky Paws uses clear, pet safe adhesive strips and sheets that feel tacky to paws, discouraging scratching on fabric surfaces. Pair with a good scratching post placed nearby for best results.

What you’ll find

• Strips for arms, corners and seams.
• Sheets for larger panels and high traffic areas.
• Rolls you can cut to custom sizes and shapes.
• Transparent finish that blends in while you train.

How it works

• The sticky feel makes furniture less appealing to scratch.
• Redirect to a sisal post or scratcher placed right next to the protected spot.
• After several weeks of consistent use, many cats form a new scratching routine.

How to apply

1. Clean and dry the fabric area to remove dust and oils.
2. Test first on a hidden patch for 24 hours.
3. Peel and apply with light, even pressure. For corners, overlap pieces slightly.
4. Position vertical strips on edges and seams, where cats love to stretch and scratch.
5. Place a scratching post right beside the protected area and reward first use.

Removal and cleanup

• Peel back slowly at a low angle. If needed, warm gently with a hairdryer on low.
• Lift any light residue with a fabric safe adhesive remover or mild soap and water. Always spot test first.
• Replace pieces when they collect lint so the surface stays tacky.

Surface guidance

• Best for most woven upholstery fabrics and carpet edges.
• Do not use on leather or faux leather, suede or microfiber, delicate or antique finishes, painted or varnished wood, vinyl or wallpaper.

Training tips

• Make the alternative scratcher more attractive with catnip or a silvervine sprinkle.
• Place scratchers in the same spot your cat already targets, then move gradually if needed.
• Trim nails regularly and provide daily play to reduce boredom scratching.

Safety

• For use on household surfaces only. Not a toy. Keep away from children and pets.
• Do not apply to your pet. Discontinue use on any surface that shows damage or discoloration.
