Self-Adhesive Cat Scratching Mat, Trim-to-Fit Furniture Protector

This scratching mat is a flat sheet with a realistic carpet texture and a self-adhesive back. Cut it to the length or shape you need, peel off the backing film and press it onto the spot your cat keeps scratching: a sofa arm, a wall corner, a stair edge, a worn post or a cat tree. Because it trims easily, it also suits rounded corners and odd-shaped furniture.

The sheet shown in the product photos measures 15.7 x 39.4 in (40 x 100 cm), and the whole sheet weighs about 6.0 oz (170 g). It comes in khaki, light gray, dark gray, black, beige, dark blue and dark brown, so you can match it to your room or mix colors for a patchwork look. Extra adhesive strips and screw nails are included for spots where you want a firmer hold.

Clean the surface first so the adhesive grips, then measure before you cut. The adhesive is meant to be removed later, but test a small hidden area first on delicate finishes such as leather or painted wood. Vacuum the mat now and then to lift hair and fibers. Since it is a mat for scratching and not a free-standing post, it works best on a surface your cat already targets.
