Stop your cat scratching the sofa — without stopping their natural instinct to scratch.

This Cat Scratch Couch Guard Protector is a durable, self-adhesive scratch shield that applies directly to the surface of sofas, armchairs and upholstered furniture to protect against claw damage. Cats scratch to mark territory, stretch muscles and maintain claw health — it's not a behaviour that can be eliminated, but it can be redirected or managed with the right physical barrier. This guard uses a textured surface that cats find unappealing to scratch on compared to fabric upholstery, combined with a transparent or near-transparent design that doesn't alter the appearance of the furniture when installed. The self-adhesive backing applies securely to most upholstery materials and removes cleanly without residue damage. Available in two sizes — 11.8 x 11.8 inches for corner and spot protection, and 11.8 x 78.7 inches for full arm and side panel protection.

Key features: Durable scratch-resistant surface (cats find the texture unappealing, redirects scratching behaviour) · Self-adhesive backing (applies directly to upholstery, no tools required) · Clean removal (removes without residue damage to fabric) · Available in two sizes for targeted or full-panel protection · Dark Grey

How to use: Clean and dry the furniture surface before application. Peel the backing from the guard and press firmly onto the area the cat scratches most. Smooth from the centre outward to eliminate air bubbles. Leave for 24 hours before testing adhesion. For the long runner size, measure your sofa arm and cut to fit if needed.
