"Super easy to apply, worked immediately. I don't know how well it will peel off of the leather couch, but I'm hopeful it won't get damaged."
"Kept the kittens from scratching furniture, but not off the countertops. Ruined the upholstery on my new couch and peeled paint off of other surfaces. DO NOT use on upholstery, painted or wood surfaces."

However, its effectiveness diminishes over time, and it's not suitable for all surfaces. For long-term use, consider more pet-friendly alternatives.
