If your cat has picked the corner of your sofa as its favorite scratching spot, you're not going to talk it out of the habit. This self-adhesive carpet mat works with the habit instead. Cut it to the shape you need, peel off the backing and press it onto the area your cat keeps clawing. The fabric gets scratched instead of the furniture, and your cat keeps its favorite spot.

Put a Scratch Pad Where They Already Scratch

Cats usually scratch in the same places over and over, often near where they sleep or where they enter a room. Covering those exact spots with a textured carpet gives claws something satisfying to dig into. The fine ribbed weave offers grip for kneading and stretching, and the mat also works as a climbing surface on walls, shelves and cat trees.

Cut It to Fit

1. Wipe the surface clean and measure the area you want to cover.
2. Cut the mat to shape with ordinary scissors.
3. Peel away the protective backing from the adhesive side.
4. Press the mat firmly into place, smoothing it from the center outward.

Getting It to Stay Put

How well the adhesive holds depends on the surface. On textured fabrics, vertical walls and spots that get heavy scratching, add some double-sided or duct tape along the edges for extra hold. Before sticking the mat to a delicate sofa or finished wood, test the adhesive on a small, hidden area first.
