Returning home after a long tiring day and that sudden hug
from your pet indeed gives you welcoming vibes. Having a four-legged friend
around playing, scratching and showering love is the most beautiful thing. But
no matter how much you love your cat, you never want them to mark their claws
on your furniture. Even though it's natural and they have no secret plans to
destroy your couch, keeping them at bay from the furniture is quite a task.
Especially if your furry friend adores your furniture as much as you do, it
definitely seems impossible to keep your furniture clean and scratch-free.
Preventing your cat from practising such behaviour while offering them an
attractive scratching alternative is what you need.
So, to protect your furniture from cat scratching, here we showcased a few best alternatives for you to give a try. Take a look!
Sofa-Scratcher Squared
Furniture guard and scratcher in one, what else could you
ask for? This Sofa-Scratcher squared is best to safeguard your furniture
against even the most aggressive cat. Its sisal covered edges fit perfectly
against a couch or chair, and cats will enjoy flexing their claws on it. They
are created especially for squared corners of the sofas, and their sisal fabric
is toxin-free. Simply place it, and you’ve got instant scratch
protection.
Scratching Post
Some cats prefer scratching vertically meanwhile some cats
enjoy horizontal or both. Indeed, every cat has its own scratching preferences.
Here the goal is not to punish your cat but to redirect it to another
attractive alternative. A scratching post is more likely to satisfy the desire
of cats to scratch vertically, while for those who scratch rugs and carpets, a
horizontal pad would be perfect.
Clawguard Furniture Shields
Making the locations, they scratch less desirable is one of
the best ways to keep them away from your furniture. A claw guard furniture
shield can help you with that. Waterproof vinyl shields withstand sharp claws
and take less than five minutes to install; they offer the most protection from
scratching. Alongside protection, they last for months without needing to be
replaced.
Double-Wide Floor Scratcher
Simple design, affordable and made from recycled materials,
this double-wide floor scratcher can satisfy even timid cats. A floor scratcher
that comes with a small bag of catnip is more likely to entice the feline.
Another best thing about this floor scratcher is that you can recycle the pad
and the frame when it's completely worn out.
Cat Nail Caps
Flexible vinyl and fits well to claws of medium size, these
nail caps will allow your cat to scratch and use their paws naturally without
damaging your furniture. If you want to prevent the damage without taking away
a cat's ability to practice the innate behaviour of scratching, then these nail
caps may be the relief your furniture needs.
Here all the products mentioned are best to protect
furniture from cat scratching. You can consider any of them for your home as
they are ideal for getting the job done.
