Furniture Scratch Guards, X-Large Premium Flexible Vinyl Cat Couch Protector Guards with Pins for Protecting Your Upholstered Furniture, Cat Scratch Deterrent Pad, 18" L X 12" W & 24" L X 8" W

I got a new couch for the first time in 10 years recently. My cat felt that he got a new scratching post. So I searched amazon for something to help my new baby from being destroyed by that selfish cat! This item looked like the best option for me because it was large plastic sheets that would cover a bigger area than the rolls of tape that I also looked into.This is a great idea, it was actually pretty easy to put up. But the pins that you screw into the couch don’t go in flush. So anything that brushes up against it will get caught in the pin and pull it out, which leaves the fabric torn worse than the cat scratching. Also this is better for a flat area than where I need it on the side end of the couch.I’m returning this and will search for a better option for my situation.Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews.

I used this product instead of my normal, sticky plastic because if the price. You get a lot more product than the sticky versions but I caution you for aesthetic reasons. I believe the material my couch is upholstered with us perfect for this product but if you have suede or leather, forget it unless you're ok with 6 little holes in your couch. Where the caution comes in is how the fasteners don't cause the plastic to adhere to the couch very well, causing the plastic not to press up against it. (See photos) Personally, I don't mind this because the plastic isn't visible to guests because of where the couch is. I know this is going to do the job so 5-stars for me.

UPDATE: Three week’s later, the cat has not scratched at all on my faux leather couches or recliner. If I had bought these sooner, I could have saved a $1200 leather living room set. These absolutely work.I filled the cat claw holes on my faux leather couches and recliner with a vinyl repair kit, and when the product dried, I applied the scratch guards. They were easy enough to apply with the corkscrew pins, and the cat hasn’t gone near the furniture edges in hours. So far, so good.

Worked like a dream. Cat stopped instantly. It saved our new couch!. I followed the directions and used warm water to unfold. I then put it on against the fold to help it from coming back. Went on smooth. Had to readjust the first pin at the end. But that was easy, and the pin didnt leave a mark in this fabric at all.You can see the plastic, it doesnt completely disappear, but I dont mind it. I'm fact much prefer it to a scratched up arms and sides.

Works great. Enough to go around entire recliner. My cats tried and gave up and went back to their scratching post. It’s pretty discreet.

These are great. Much better than the sticky tape stuff that I tried before. The pins will make a tiny little hole in your couch/chair. So it’s best to use on textured furniture, so that you won’t notice it if you take these off. Nice size and good price.

These scratch guards are great and exactly what I needed to keep my cats from tearing up two nice sofas. Recommended.

Bummed I didn't think of the brilliant idea sooner and patent it myself! This works so well! New couches for 5 months now with zero kitty damage. They're surprisingly discreet and the hooks cause no damage. A must for any cat owner wanting to keep their upholstery damage free. I also recommend the giant cat scratching post you can also find on Amazon.

Large enough to comfortably cover the corners of my sofa. They stick really well even without the use of the pins. But handy to have the pins if they are less sticky over time.
