Just when you think you chose the right sofa...

I was thinking about getting that double sided sticky tape that they sell at the pet store. Hope they don't like sticking to stuff.

ha ha ha ha ha!! I can just imagine coming home and finding a cat stuck to the sofa!!

It just ticks me off cause I was so psyched to find something they didn't like to be on and pee on. They've ruined everything.... that's not what most normal cats do. It's just frustrating when you put out money that you don't have to try to make your home nicer (and to have something for guests to sit on w/out smelling like cat pee), and they try to ruin it in under a week. They are so lucky i don't believe in declawing. Maybe I'll have to break out the SoftPaws again. olp;.? (sorry, that was Honeybun asking why i didn't have him before his previous owner declawed him )

Have you thought of contacting this Nancy Efrusy to see why your cats are doing this?

Just a thought.

I'm sorry to hear that this happened. I put covers over my couch and recliner and it's worked out very well. I hope that you'll find something that will work for you. Good luck.

Are their nails short? I find if you keep them clipped they tend to scratch less.
The double sided tape DOES work fairly well. It would be worth a try.

I know exactly how you feel. My little deaf cat Creamsicle has virtually ruined a chair that I bought when I bought this house two years ago. She's the only one who scratches on the furniture and try as I might, I can't break her of it. And this chair matches the cushions on the sofa, so it's especially annoying. (She also has brain damage, so it's rather difficult to teach her.) I considered leather myself but I'd really go ballistic if she tore that up, too. Thank goodness the peeing isn't a problem any more, at least not that much, since I started the two pissers on Clomicalm. Once I got the dosage right, it doesn't drug them up, just calms them. The vaseline sounds like it might be a good idea, except that, obviously, you won't be able to sit in that chair for a while. But it might save your upholstery. I'd give it a whirl.

Blessings,
