Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's not often that I spend so much time reading reviews, however, I just purchased a new leather couch and a couple months prior to that, I became the proud momma to a very precious 2 month old kitten. So with that being said, I knew I needed to purchase a solution to his desire to SCRATCH my furniture before it arrived. I have a few cat scratching posts, which he uses often, however, I have seen him at times try to use the corner of the fabric couch. After reading many reviews, I found these excellent clear adhesive protectors. I'm a first time cat owner, so I wasn't sure what to expect and how much scratching they really do. Despite having many alternatives for him to scratch, there's something appealing to them to want to claw at the fabric. These sheets come delivered FLAT, which is so nice to be able to position the protector into the desired place and then slowly remove the back covering. After I had it on and in place, I used a hardcover book to gently spread over the area to make sure it was wrinkle free and securely adhered. The sheets are made of a pretty thick vinyl material and are completely clear and unnoticeable, which is a great feature to have. My cat hasn't even gone near the new leather couch, so I haven't had to use them there. (Yet!) I put the protectors on the back and sides of my fabric recliner, which is another place he likes to sneak up on for a lazy stretch and a scratch. I watched him try to do his maneuver over the vinyl and he looked at me with all kinds of confusion because it didn't satisfy him at all. The sheets have been on now for 4 days and he hasn't even gone near the recliner! I'd say this particular brand of protectors are an incredible value, worth every cent, and I'm so happy I had them ready and waiting. They're not difficult to apply at all and I'd say almost anyone of any age can easily do them. They can be very easily cut to fit your exact size area that you want to cover. I ended up using one of the large sheets to cover the back of my recliner which is positioned in a way that when you walk into the room, you see the back of the recliner and the sheet protector is not visible at all, unless you were actually looking for it. This packet I purchased comes with 4 large protectors and 24 twist pins. I have not needed to use the pins, but I can see that they'd be very helpful and necessary if you have a stubborn cat who really wants to scratch. I'd recommend using this brand of sheets over some of the others that come wound up tight in a tube. I ended up returning the ones that came in the tube because I just could not get them to lay flat. I am going to purchase a second set of this brand to have as back ups or if my cat decides to find another area that he wants to scratch on. This brand comes in other sizes too and comes in a kit with some catnip and an alternative scratch board for your kitty. This is definitely a 5-STAR product and I've already shared a sheet with my neighbor who said she can't believe how great they work. I'd recommend to anyone who has an indoor cat that likes to scratch!
