Any chance it will stop cats from scratching my wallpaper off (presentedly protected by a make-shift fortress of chairs and tables.)

You can try.. Cats need to scratch things so you need to provide that possibility for him. Try showing him this post and maybe spray it with a cat nip type spray to attract him. Then when he goes to scratch the wall paper.. Spray him with a water bottle sprayer (don't hit or yell at him) and direct him to the post. Worked for many of my cats over the years. They have to learn just like small children need to learn.

I really don't think anything will keep cats from scratching on whatever is in the house, but Oliver seems to be using this scratching post more often and my chair and door facings a lot less. He uses this post a lot more than the cat tree covered in carpet. Since he totally destroyed the small patch of sisel on that tree I figured he like the texture so I purchased this post. Don't know about your cats, but he is choosing this post over other things in the house now. Good luck on whaterver you decide to do about your cats' scratching.

My experience is that if you place scratching posts strategically, where your cat naturally wants to stretch and scratch, then they will prefer the post over shredding the furniture / walls / floors. You will need to find a scratching post/style (vertical/horizontal/angled, height, material) that they like, then place it along the travel route. Such as right inside the doorway to a room where they'll pass by it, or right by their preferred sleeping / hangout spot.I own two of these. One just inside the bedroom door and another in the living room by the hallway. I will probably add a third one at the door to my home office from the hallway.

It depends... If the name of the cat starts with the first half of the alphabet and contains an odd number of letters then there is a 50% chance that it will work. For an even number of characters it drops to 40%. The good news is that for cats who's names start with the second half of the alphabets, the chances for success increase to 75% and 60% respectively. If the cat's name is Ralph, all bets are off. All things said, I wish the questioner the best of luck.

I had two cats who took a favourite chair right down to the wooden frame. While the chair was out being recovered, I purchased this scratching post, presented it to them and they love it. When the chair came back, they never touched the chair again. This post does allow a full body stretch which is excellent.

Yes, unless you have the in house containment which keeps them off your furniture.

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

It depends on whether or not you come in contact with the walls very often. I love the look but the slightest nick with a fingernail leaves a mark. My cats like to sit in the window and they destroyed the wallpaper under the window with their back feet. The pattern is kind of spongy and it doesn't firm up after painting - at least it didn't for me. I do love the look, tho, and try to think of the blemishes as giving it character. I've had no trouble with it sticking to the walls, without using extra adhesive, but I did use a good primer first.

Not sure. My cat doesn't sxratch furniture but the fabric is not s stiff tight weave so it might not be

The foil-type outer surface does protect the furniture underneath from animal urine and other liquids as long as the foil has not been damaged. Ours has tiny holes from cat claws here and there, but we still put it on our couch every night.

I don't think the throw would stay on a leather couch too well especially with a child and cats. Probably would stop cat scratches but would take a lot of adjusting.

Sometimes....Buy the side wall. It protects against that. The dome maybe Too, but my cats found it too confining I think. The side wall raises the edge about 3-4 inches and keeps that from happening.

Open Wood no backing . I have two to block off my big livingroom. They keep my cats out and off my dark brown couch....

If you can protect them with something, I suppose that's best. It avoids lamps, chairs, coffee table, and my floor speakers. Not sure what kind of nicknacks you have?

I'm not sure what kind of furniture covers you want to keep in place, but the felt is very thick, so it might help prevent sliding on a cloth furniture surface, but I don't think it would work on leather. It does keep furniture from sliding, though, and prevents wood signs from banging on my children's doors. :)

It works best on furniture that moves when cat hops on it. I don't think it would work for you.

Depends on your cat. We have two, and as soon as they are on, they go to work at pulling them off. I try to replace them as soon as I find one is off (you'll find them all over the house so you can resuse them). My hope is they will get accustomed to them and leave them alone but so far no luck. Problem is, I am unaware of any other solution to stop cats from tearing up furniture.

Umm to be honest it depends. Its not super thin but I don't think it'll withstand an attack from a cat :) but if you have a cat that doesn't attack furniture then i'd say go for it.

As long as the cats get along! Again, fasten it to the wall or arrange furniture so that it is up against a corner (the wall and another piece of furniture).

Oh I'm sure:) but cats are a bit more stealth! They might figure out quickly how to work around it. As long as they don't step heavily on it they'd be fine. It would be hilarious to watch.

If kitties like to scratch I believe they may damage this screen quite easily. Try a solid screen.
