Review on SmartyKat Scratch Not: Ultimate Anti-Scratch Tape for Effective Scratch Deterrence by Elle Foster

When a cat scratches, it leaves a chemical trail in its wake, so it keeps coming back to the same spot. Cats also need to scratch their claws and paws. But it doesn't have to be on furniture. In my experience, sprays are applied or omitted to eliminate scratches in problem areas. The only thing that has helped me so far is putting a scratching post next to the problem area and putting this tape on the problem area. They will switch from furniture to scratching posts very quickly. It also makes sense to sweeten the scratching post with catnip. This material CAN leave a sticky residue if you leave the same item in the same place for too long. If you change it every few weeks, it's not.
