Sticky Paws Pioneer Pet Roll (32.8 feet)

The media could not be loaded.

Somehow, I accidentally bought two rolls of those, but it works great for cats. Her cat loves her scratching post, but for some reason started scratching our box spring a few years ago and was shredding it up. Husband put the tape on it and it’s working great.

HIghly recommend the product. I read the description before purchasing so new it was about 33 feet, but it does certainly seems to run out fast. With that being said, it's helped me kitten proof my house, keeping the cat away from certain shelves, plants, or areas. The cats jump on it once or twice when exploring, but they hate the sticky feel on their paws and learn pretty quickly to stay away.

My cats don't like these strip's and so - that's good!

I'm on my second package now. First package lasted a long time, I bought in April of 2021. I'm lucky that one of my two cats loves a scratching post and he has never bothered our furniture. In 2021, enter my new rescue kitty girl who I love so very much, except for when she's scratching the corners of my sofa and chairs! I bought the Sticky Paws 2" x 12" strips. I actually cut them to 2" x 6" strips and fastened to the corners of my chairs and sofa. It's clear, so you can hardly see it's there. She stopped scratching my furniture immediately. I change out the tape when it gets old and/or crumpled from us humans touching it by accident. These strips are a simple solution that will work with most cats. There will always be some cats that are so aggressive with their scratching that nothing can help, so I definitely recommend using this product early on, as it has worked for us.

This is on each corner of my fabric lounge and it's barely visible unless you're looking very closely. My two cats don't even attempt to scratch the corners of my lounge anymore.

Cuando lo quitas es demasiado fuerte y daño prácticamente a la tela de mi sofá, un sofá de buena qualidad

I had to remove (and throw away) every single one of these strips from my furniture, in fear of my newly rescued cat choking on them, or getting them lodged in his digestive tract. For some reason, he is attracted to them -- and not in a good way. (I also have to keep plastic wrap away from him because he will chew on that too.)I have heard some cats like the chemical smell in plastic products... though I cannot say for sure why. Some people surmise it's due to a dental problem, or vitamin deficiency, or simple boredom.I have multiple cats who eat the same (high-quality) food, yet Spot is the only one who showed any interest in licking/eating these. So at least in my case, I am sure a nutrition deficiency was not the issue. (I am vegan, but my cats are not.) I have had his teeth checked out as well.Before Spotty came into my life, "Sticky Paws" worked pretty well with my other cats.... Though the strips did not exactly look stylish. I would remove them temporarily on the rare occasion that I had guests over (and since my cats hide from strangers, that worked fine.)That said, the strips occasionally need to be replaced anyway because if a person or a pet accidentally rubs up against them, lint/fur (etc) will stick to them, making them completely ineffective (because they are no longer sticky).I find these to be worth a try if you are attempting to avoid declawing (which is an incredibly inhumane procedure in my humble opinion). However, I recommend doing your trial run on a day you will be home and can keep an eye on your fur kids, to ensure they don't have the same chemical-loving weird quirk my Spotty does. If he/she shows no interest within the first 24 hours, I suspect using them will be fine long-term.If these don't work for you and your kitties for any reason, I suggest checking out "Soft Claws" nail caps (which are also sold here on Amazon). They are a pain to apply if your cat does not cooperate, but work fabulously once they're on -- and look super cute as an added bonus! ;-)

I used that to avoid my cats scratching the sofa (they were used to do it) and after this stopped them to do it!Now I'm using it almost everywhere they are trying to scratch

******UPDATE BELOWSITUATION: We are the caregivers of five indoor cats. We have a variety of scratch toys, but none seem to be as inviting or satisfying as our furniture. We formerly had leather furniture, which they didn’t bother. The new upholstered stuff arrived and they could not resist. Our previous little angels became little scissor-handed devils overnight! We tried spraying them with water, making loud noises, and covering areas with aluminum foil -- all had little success. At one point we tossed sheets over everything -- they simply would get underneath them to scratch! We love our cats. Love them! (Amelia, Norman, Pippa, Mamie, and Harper). We resigned ourselves to having threadbare armed furniture. I purchased — yes purchased -- Pioneer Pet Sticky Paws on a whim, with very little expectations. To my amazement, it works!INSTALLATION: In essence, it’s simply double-sided tape. One side sticks to your furniture, the other your cat will touch. The label cautions to try a small test area first. My furniture is fabric – not microfiber or leather — I secured the tape without any difficulty. I would suggest vacuuming the furniture prior since cat fur will prevent the tape from adhering well.REACTION: Within minutes of installing, I watched Mamie walk up to “her” arm chair and attempt to do her usual stretch-and-scratch. She touched the tape and immediately pulled her paws away. She sat there for a moment looking completely perplexed. She looked at me, looked at the chair again, and then walked away. It was freaking awesome!SPECIFICATIONS: The tape is 2.5 inches wide and comes on a roll. It has a similar look and width as packing tape, but much stickier. It comes off the roll like double-sided craft tape: the bottom side sticks to your item and the top side is covered with a waxy like paper that you pull off, once installed. The waxy paper is perforated down the center. This feature was well-thought out: it enables you to secure the edges a bit more as you’re pulling it off. It the wax was one whole piece, you may inadvertently pull the tape off your sofa as you’re pulling the wax paper off. A little extra securing may be needed around corners and curves. I have found it easier to use that waxy paper, instead of my fingers, to secure areas that didn’t stick initially. Over time the tape will lose its stickiness as cat fur, dust, and other things are attracted to it. If that is an issue, just reapply more tape.INTENTION: The intention of this tape is to prevent your cats from scratching. It did precisely that. I do see that they also claim it may help “control inappropriate elimination.” I am not certain of that claim. I have a cat whose middle name should be “inappropriate elimination” and this tape would do diddly squat to prevent her from peeing outside her box. I am assuming that cats who pee on furniture would be discouraged to do so if they encountered this tape. Possibly. My problem child doesn’t pee on furniture, thankfully. She pees outside her little box. But, that’s a whole other story...DIRECTIONS: The label reads: "May damage certain surfaces (including, without limitation, wood finishes, painted surfaces, leather, vinyl, microfiber, and wallpaper) so ALWAYS TEST a small piece of Sticky Paws on an inconspicuous area before applying." I would most definitely not use this on most hard surfaces. It would leave a sticky residual mess.I very much appreciate this product.****** UPDATE: I have had the tape installed for three months and it continues to reduce the amount of furniture scratching. My cats, being superior in intelligence, do have a tendancy to take advantage of a loose edge and use it as an opportunity to try and pull off the tape. (I don't fault the tape for their behavior.) I have had to re-apply in some areas as a result. I am buying more tape. Be certain that enought scratching posts, pads, etc. are available for your cat(s), as an alternative.

J'ai très bien collé les bandes mais mon chat qui est pourtant très calme les a enlevé avec ses pattes en 2 minutes. Elles se sont collé et mis en boule dans son poil en plus, je ne vous explique pas l'horreur pour lui enlever...
