I’ve stuck these in a separate section so if that’s the kind of thing you had in mind or you’re curious about how good these look, scroll down to the second list in this post.Īll in all, couch covers for cats actually come in a lot of different varieties, and as such, do quite a lot of different jobs pretty darn well. Oh, and for those who already have a roughed up sofa, there are even couch covers that do that job making them look new flawlessly.Ī slew of options available these days fully cover any shape and size of couch, are form fit, and come in a bunch of different colours and patterns to make old, comfy couches you don’t want to entirely replace look new. You absolutely can and should train your cat to stop scratching up human furniture (here’s how), but even if you’re gradually making progress on the road to your cat’s scratch addiction recovery – it’s in your best interest to protect your sofas and couches in the meantime. Some cats intuitively seem to get that certain places are better off left unscathed, and only take their claws of mass destruction out gently on carpets, rugs, and other easier-to-replace items.īut many, many cats will initially take their claws to couches and sofas until trained – and yes, that often includes all of your favourite upholstered pieces.

It can be incredibly frustrating living with a cat who’s obsessed with clawing up human furniture. Then there’s that second major issue – scratching. Preventing that liquid from getting onto the fabric in the first place is much easier and cheaper than trying to deep clean furniture afterward. Similarly, if you have a cat who throws up every so often – either because of hairballs or digestive issues you’re working on resolving with a new, sensitive stomach cat food – and astonishingly manages to do so on the same sofa every single time? (As a heads up, if you’re trying to get out already existing urine smells and stains, I’ve heard Nature’s Miracle Advanced works wonders, though I thankfully haven’t yet had need to test it out myself). If you happen to have a cat at home who has his fair share of litter related accidents – whether that’s because he doesn’t “clean up” straight after using the loo all the time or because he’s recently had a UTI flare up and every so often doesn’t make it to the box, couch protector covers can work miracles for keeping your couch urine free.

They’re not exactly a necessity for everybody (and if they’re not for you, I’d recommend checking out other types of cat scratch furniture protectors that may work better), but I can think of a lot of cases where you’d want to have one on your couch, even if it’s just for a few weeks while some unfortunate health issues (like UTI’s or digestive issues) are being resolved with vet prescription kibble/medication. Couch protector covers can be a magic bullet when it comes to combating the two most common frustrations of the cat + furniture combo: scratches and spills.
