Trim to fit

Peel-and-stick

Furniture-safe

Redirects claws

colourcharcoal
size

A self-adhesive panel that gives claws somewhere to go, sparing the furniture beneath.

Scratching is instinct, not mischief - your cat needs the motion, and your sofa happens to be in reach. The panel fixes quietly over the corners and edges they favour, offering a surface made for the task while shielding the fabric, leather, or timber underneath.

Trim it to size with scissors, peel away the thin clear film on the back to expose the adhesive, then press it into place. To remove, peel it back slowly from one corner. The adhesive may mark or lift some finishes, including paint, faux leather and varnished timber, so test it on a hidden spot first. A muted tone lets it sit against the furniture rather than against the room.

Sizing:

L 30 x W 30cm (S)

L 60 x W 30cm (M)

More Details

Peel-and-stick application. Cut from the roll to fit corners, arms, or flat panels. Lifts away cleanly without residue. Replace the surface as it wears.

Carpet-style woven scratch surface on a self-adhesive backing. Supplied as a roll, trimmable to size. Suits fabric, leather, timber, painted walls, and panelling.

Shipping

Processed within 1–2 business days, then delivered in 7–8 business days. Free shipping on orders over $70 AUD; orders under $70 ship for a flat $10.

A place for the instinct

The scratching has to go somewhere - better here than your sofa.

You've watched it happen: the slow stretch, the hooked claws, the corner of the couch you'd only just replaced. Scratching isn't something to train out of them - it's how they stretch, mark, and settle. The panel simply gives that instinct a home of its own, fixed over the spots they already return to so the urge is met and the furniture is spared. They get the satisfying drag of claw on surface; you keep the room the way you meant it. Both of you, quietly, get what you were after.
