Will this product keep cats from scratching on certain spots on carpeting?

Answer here...not tha t I know of all of these products either clean surfaces or keep cats from resparaying. You may want to try one of the products for cleaning like the extra strong cleaner. It does kill odors and the reason your cat is scratching an area on the rug probably is because there is a smell that is attracting the cat. try the extra strong cleaner first. in any case it will clean very well.

It will keep them from peeing on certain spots on carpeting. I don't know about just scratching.

Same answer I'm afraid, it stopped my cats from spraying, but they will still try with the scratching, get an extra scartch pad or post?

While it is the most impressive cover I have come across, I am not certain it will prevent from cat scratches. (I currently have 4 cars with various covers.) The reason I say so is that I have placed this cover underneath a cheaper cover to help prevent such issues from animals.

We have many customers that have used LeatherNu to repair cat damage successfully. However, the extent of the damage you have is an important consideration. If your leather has been shredded pretty good, it may be beyond repair. But if you were able to stop the cat from scratching before the damage became too severe, you will get better results. I hope this helps. Thanks, LeatherNu, LLC

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

It would not be cat-scratch proof. It is covered in material that would be very easy to be picked by cat claws.

My cat doesn't scratch on the carpet, so I'm not sure how it would hold up against a cat's claws. But it seems to be pretty decent; like cheap carpet you would find in an apartment. :) As others have said, the whole unit is so well made and sturdy, it would be worth re-carpeting it if the carpet wore out, in my opinion.

I do not know as we don't have leather. I would be worried about leaving a residue behind after removal. I hope someone else can give an experienced answer. Works to keep cats from scratching though!

The product helps with minor scratches, but is not very effective with deeper gouge. it may just make the scratch smother.

Cats scratch to mark their territory and relieve stress, so they still need a place to do that, claws or not. You at least want to keep one post. And you also don't want to find out that a claw cover has fallen off by having your furniture ruined.

Absolutely not! scratching is "their thing". Cats scratch when they are happy. It's in their genes. It's natural. One of my rescue cats is declawed and he still scratches on the post.

Only have experience with the scratcher on the carpet. It stays put because of the cats weight on it. It does look like it should be inside of something. Looks like a refill scratcher.

My cat seems to jump to get up to a lot of places and she has not trouble getting anywhere. I think the recommendation is to just use them on the front claws that they scratch a lot with. They will still use scratching posts often.

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.

Honestly, I've tried all sorts of bitter apple and anti-scratch sprays for my couch and my plants but nothing has worked. This specific product does not spray, it's a stick with a sponge on it so it wouldn't be good for the carpet. You might want to try bitter apple spray. You can try keeping a scratching post near the areas they like to scratch, and keep cat nip on the post. You can buy a spray cat nip that works very well and spray it on the post. You can also try a scratching "pad" that looks like a piece of carpet, put that on top of the area they keep scratching, and put cat nip on it. I also use a clear double sided tape to protect the arms of my couches and it works very well. I just have to remove the tape when I have company. The problem with cats is that once they "mark" and area with their pheromones it seems to be hard to get them to stop going back to that area. Lastly, you should get those cardboard cat scratchers, my cats love them. Again, you can put cat nip on it to get them attracted to it. Scratching is actually required for a cat to be healthy, you just have to find other things for him to scratch. You should try all the options I've mentioned to find out what your cat(s) like best. I have a brand new house with all new furniture and don't believe in declawing so we have been trying everything. Each of my cats likes something different. Good Luck!!

Hmmm... possibly, especially if the cat likes to stretch upwards to scratch. My experience has been that it's very hard to tell what a cat will do on any given day! Best wishes!

I only use this product to keep Cats and Dogs from scratching on objects. I think this is a question best suited to be answered by a Veterinarian. If a pet is insists on scratching a certain spot it may call for a cortisone cream that would heal the underlined problem and stop the irritation that is causing the irritation in the first place.

Probably not. It is intended for spraying issues (cleaning it up and eliminating pheromones and odor). Cats don't avoid it really, just don't feel the compulsion to mark things it has been sprayed on.
