All I see is how great this is for travelling, but what about scratching? Has anyone used them to prevent unwanted scratching on furniture?

I don't know for sure, but I would doubt it. Double sided tape, a squirt bottle and a handy scratching post have cured my cats.

There is a separate product that is a cat repellant that discourages them from scratching on specific surfaces. The Feliway wipes are designed to provide a scent that calms the cat and makes cats feel they're in a familiar, secure place.If you used it to discourage scratching , I think it wouldn't work due to creating scent of familiar place, and cats tend to scratch in a familiar place.The cat scratching repellant works better. I've trained my cat not to scratch places with it.

It seems that it might work in getting cats to scratch where you want them to. I have a carpet tower that three cats over the years have totally ignored. Now I've figured out how to find out if it works. I'll apply it to the tower!p.s. you might want to wait until this goes down in price or got to a vet office. Mine is selling these in single packets for a total of $1 each, including taxes, so the Amazon price isn't good now. I'll use single packs to see how it works and then consider the cost of other options. My cat has a vet visit in two weeks so I'll want one then.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.

It can be good to protect your luggage from scrapes and dings. I found it really handy when I moved to a new house. You just want to make sure you have a good layering around things.

Our cat walks on this all the time and we have had no problems. She does not scratch the furniture much so I don't know how affective it is against that. The material is a bit slippery (but stays in place due to the straps) so it may resist a scratching cat.

It scratches pretty easily. After 1 party, there are a lot of little scratches on the table. This can be solved with a small table cloth or glass on the surface. We don't really care about that, because we bought them to be pub tables, not works of art.

there are 3 small, round pads on the bottom. I think it is ok for a wooden table, but depending on how it would be "moved across" a glass table, it could possible scratch it. You could always purchase some of the stick and peel soft tabs and place on the bottom to ensure of no scratching.

We have cats and their claws will scratch the leather I know. We cover them with blankets when not using them.

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

Hi... I found the Pest A Cator to be very effective. And I only needed one when I thought I'd need two. We heard some scratching inside a few walls in the cold weather and a day, or two, after I plugged one in, no scratching at all even upstairs in the far bedroom. The item will deter mice, etc, from getting inside walls from outside sending high frequency noise through the wires, but is not to be used outside, as it gets plugged in. I'd look at the description given on Amazon about the Pest A Cator and it gives the info you need. I would recommend getting one. PMD

That is what we were concerned about as well. We have 3 cats and this type of fabric (synthetic suede?) is the only type that our cats show no interest in scratching. They jump around on it all the time and so far the sofa still looks new. We love it, it is big and comfortable!

Joyce it would be worth a try. I have used it for all sorts of things. It does not scratch. Kathleen

Hello...I believe the pads are there to protect furniture from scratches from the ceramic. I am not 100% certain on this but I don't believe it's for a defect. Hope that helps!

they work nice for anti-fatigue, just don't set any furniture on them or anything heavy, it will leave marks and indents. on the other hand if you spill something, very easy clean up.

It is best indoors and will not scratch or damage floors of furniture in our experience. If the outdoor surface is very smooth it may be O.K. to use it.

The computer itself has a sturdy case especially if the key board is attached. The extra cover should help reduce scratching. Drop any computer just right (especially on corners) and it can shatter the glass etc. To be honest, I have never used my case. However, I have taken my 2 in 1 on several trips without any scratches or other damage.

Yes, I have, but my cat is definitely not a lightweight and he scratches on the material as well as where the area where he is supposed to scratch. I have to tell you though that my cat absolutely LOVES this thing. The bottom is too small for him - again big cat, 19" long and 16 lbs - but he loves scratching on it and loves sitting in it. My husband, who is usually skeptical of things like this that I buy, is impressed by how much he loves it. We've had this for at least 6 months so it has definitely worth it.

Hi Heather...Have you tried rubbing some cat nip on it? The dry kind not the spray...I also use packing tape( the type you use to seal packing boxes) on the edges of my couches...helps somewhat... also try placing the post near the furniture they scratch most...good luck. I have 5 furry boys and I am grateful that at 3 like this post. I have a larger model post that you can lie flat on the floor or lay it against the sofa that one of the other cats like..and the last but not least one who will not use anything but my leather chairs.
