Highlighted Reviews

β€” Jennifer

"This worked great for our cats too get them scratching on the scratching post versus our furniture."

β€” Twiggy

"My cat is a difficult cat so I didn't expect a lot. She still ignored the scratching post after every application of feliscratch, and kept scratching my bed."

Bottom Line

Feliscratch does not provide a consistent solution for deterring cats from scratching furniture. It's not recommended based on user feedback. There are serious quality and design issues with the Feliscratch product.
