Hello, fellow feline lovers! We know you adore almost everything about your kitty. But let’s be honest—there’s one thing that drives you crazy: their habit of turning your furniture into a scratching post! Yep, we’ve been there… And we have the perfect solution!
Ever wonder why your cat scratches your beloved furniture? The short answer: it’s not personal, it’s purr-sonal! Cats simply love—and need—to scratch! It’s a primal instinct that serves three important purposes:
scratching helps cats to stretch their bodies and flex their feet. Everyone needs a good stretch every now and then…
Scratching helps cats remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Think of it as a cat’s manicure… or maybe it’s a pedicure!?
Cats scratch to mark their territory by leaving both a visual mark and their scent. Yes, your cat is saying, “This couch is mine…!”
You see, cats have an instinctual need to scratch, so you should not prevent your cat from scratching altogether. Instead, you want to train your cat on WHERE NOT TO SCRATCH.
We’ve designed the perfect solution for that:
Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape! It’s a double-sided tape made specifically to deter your kitty from scratching your furniture. You see, our furry friends hate sticky surfaces. (I mean, who likes sticky surfaces anyway?!) But for these royal creatures, stickiness is a major no-no. “Ew, not on my paws!” – your cat screams inside when encountering Sofisti-Cat@ Tape.
Over time, your cat will become Sofisti-Cat@-ed ;). In other words, they’ll learn not to scratch the treated areas. Eventually, you can remove the tape, and your kitty will still remember the ‘no-scratch’ zones. Your furniture stays fabulous and scratch-free, and your cat sticks to the designated scratching spots. Win-win!
Using Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape is a breeze:
Not all upholsteries are created equal! While Sofisti- Cat@ is designed to be safe for most fabrics (and our tests show it is safe for at least 95% of upholsteries), delicate materials like leathers and velvets might not react well. So, test the tape on a hidden spot first. Wait 48 hours, then peel it off. If everything looks good, you’re all set!
Begin training your cat not to scratch furniture when they’re young, or as soon as you catch them eyeing your new sofa as a scratching post. But don’t worry if your cat is older or has a long criminal record of furniture destruction! Even the most notorious offenders can’t stand the sticky feel of Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape. Just be prepared to apply and reapply the tape for a little longer with these seasoned scratchers. Eventually, you will win this battle!
Some cats are all about sisal, while others go wild for cardboard. Some love horizontal scratching mats, while others are all about vertical posts. Make sure your kitty has plenty of options so they can’t say, “But I had no place else to scratch!”
Always reward your cat for scratching the right spots. We all love a pat (or a pet 😉) on the back for a job well done, right?
Some cats are… well, weird (Don’t hiss – weird in a good way of course :). About one in 55,000 of our customers (yes, we’re that popular) tells us their cat tried to chew or lick the tape off. In that case, lemon is your secret weapon! Tap a lemon slice on the outer side of the tape (the side facing your cat). The stickiness + citrus scent combo will boost your odds of winning.
If you think your furniture is delicate but the test showed Sofisti-Cat@ Tape is safe, don’t leave the tape on too long. Remove and reapply fresh tape after a few days or a week to keep things smooth.

Here’s why Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape is purr-fect for your home:
With tens of thousands of Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tapes sold each year in the US alone and over 8,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, you know you’re in good hands. Cat owners are raving about it—so you can trust it’s the real deal.
Not all cats are as lucky as your kitty to have a loving home. Did you know that over half of the world’s cat population is feral or stray? More than 75% live in urban areas, braving the elements and relying on kind people for food and water. At Sofisti-Cat@, we donate monthly to local cat shelters, and as we grow, so do our contributions.

The short answer: give it a test! While we’ve tested Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape on many types of upholstery and found it safe for at least 95%, we still recommend trying it on a hidden spot first. Some materials, like delicate leathers or velvet, may be a bit too sensitive. Apply the tape in a discreet area, leave it for 48 hours, then peel it off. If everything looks good, you’re in the clear! Pro tip: Don’t leave the tape on for too long. Some people leave it for months, but we suggest removing and reapplying it after a week or two.
Yes, you can! Our Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape Sheets work wonders here. [As always, be sure to test the tape in a hidden spot first.] Here are two methods to keep countertops (and your sanity) intact:
If your kitty has a liking for these areas, Sofisti-Cat@ Anti-Scratch Tape could be your savior! Just remember to consider the material you’re working with. Curtains can be delicate, so always test first. Doors might have paint or varnish that could peel when removing the tape, so a patch test is a must. For tables and desks, the Placemat Trick (see above) works wonders. Rugs and carpets depend on material and sturdiness—test first, as the tape might pull some fibers when removed.
We suggest removing the tape after one to two weeks. During this time, offer your cat plenty of approved scratching alternatives. Remember, early training often yields faster results, but even older cats with a lifetime of scratching habits can learn! Simply reapply the tape as needed until your cat is trained and furniture Sofisti-Cat-ed! Pro tip: For delicate or valuable furniture, remove and reapply the tape more frequently.
