I had used the sticky paws that comes on a roll before and it was pretty effective, with about the weight of packing tape and quite sturdy.

This is very different. It comes In sheets and is so delicate that the slightest touch can render it useless. It's more like the consistency of cheap off brand plastic wrap that sticks to nothing but itself. Very disappointing.

This works for a lot of cats and I've used it successfully in the past. However, my current cats think it's a toy and keep pawing, scratching, and biting at it until they remove it from whatever surface it's on. Occasionally they will carry it around after that. I recommend trying some double stick tape first to see how your cats react.

On the package this stuff says "Won't harm fabric or cats!" It's easy to apply, doesn't leave (too much) goo behind. And it kept our one bad cat from picking at the part of the door where the tape was. Unfortunately, our good cat thought the stuff tasted good and would sit and lick it. I read the rest of the packaging to see if it was harmful to be eaten and the package says this on the back "Sticky Paws is not intended for animal or human consumption, and may cause injury or death. If ingestion occurs, seek immediate medical attention. In no event shall Fe-lines, Inc be responsible for any damage to furniture or any other applications, or for any bodily injury or death to any person or animal." So we had to immediately take the stuff down.

Sticky Paws was effective in keeping my cat from scratching on spots where I put it. I use it on the top of some speakers and on my sofas. I have red leather furniture so it is somewhat noticeable and not very pretty but at least it keeps him from tearing into the leather. I have had it for a couple weeks and it seems to be safe with the leather, which was one of my initial concerns.

I liked the tape better than the sticky strips, although both products worked. This product didn't leave any marks on the furniture (which I was VERY nervous about) and my cat stopped stepping and scratching our new chairs. It took our cat a couple times to jump on it, walk over the tape and, I guess, she didn't like the feeling and stopped jumping and scratching the chairs. (I have a Sphinx cat who is, I sometimes believe, pre-programmed to destroy everything). I did have to reapply the tape on the furniture twice, but now, since my cat doesn't go there any more, I took the tape off. Highly recommend this product.

This item has the wrong picture. Description indicates strips. Picture is for roll. Which is it for the price folks???

I love this product. We have cats who like to jump on the TV stand and try to rub along the TV. These strips are two sided and are actually clear (the packaging makes them look like they are white) so they disappear on the furniture. The stand I use them on is glass so I can't speak to whether or not they will damage wood or other materials. But they have done the trick and the cats don't jump on the table anymore. Will definitely use them again.

My cat keeps scratching the carpet under the door, and since I'm afraid she will ruin the carpet and it wakes me up throughout the night, I put a twin draft guard there and stuck some of this stuff onto it to keep her from ruining the carpet and waking me up scratching at the twin draft guard. It worked for 8 days, but then she started doing the clawing again with the sticky stuff there. I even tried putting another layer of strips down, thinking that maby the week-old ones weren't so sticky anymore, but she just kept on scratching.
