A simple idea, backed by people who know cats.
We didn't invent a gimmick. We built the product around advice vets and animal-welfare groups have given for years.
Aussie homes have a cat
About 34% of Australian households own a cat, so scratched couches are one of the most common pet problems in the country.
Animal Medicines Australia, Pets in Australia 2025Recommended approach
The RSPCA advises placing a scratching surface right in front of the furniture your cat targets, and never punishing her for it. That is exactly what Clawvie does.

Shipping policySame spot. Happy cat. Safe couch.
She keeps scratching exactly where she always has. Only now it's on the shield.
You're not overreacting. It's frustrating.
You look at that corner every day. The couch arm. The bed base. The door frame. It keeps getting worse — and you think:
“I love my cat… but I can't keep replacing furniture.”
Maybe there's a throw rug on the arm that's really there to hide it. You don't want to yell. You don't want to spray chemicals around your home. You just want the damage to stop.
Why the usual fixes don't work
Plastic guards and sprays only block her, so she moves a few centimetres up or along. Posts end up in the wrong spot. Clawvie gives her a better surface in the same place.

She's not being naughty. She picked the best scratching post in the house.
Your couch arm is tall, heavy and doesn't wobble — and it sits right where she naps and wakes up. That's exactly what cats look for. Scratching itself is normal, healthy behaviour: it keeps claws in shape, stretches her body and marks her spot.
What works is giving her a better surface in the exact place she already scratches — so the habit moves off your fabric and onto something made for it.

So easy it takes 2 minutes
Trim
Measure the spot and cut the shield to size with ordinary scissors.
Peel
Wipe the surface clean and dry, then peel off the backing.
Press
Press each edge firmly for 10 seconds, then give it a few hours to set before her first scratch.
Getting it to stay put
- Grips best on smooth, tightly woven fabric, faux leather, timber and painted walls.
- Test first on leather, velvet, bouclé and loose or knobbly weaves — use a small offcut in a hidden spot.
- Clean and dry the spot first. No fabric spray or conditioner underneath.
- Still lifting? Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund you.
“But will it…?”
…damage my couch?
It's made to grip while she scratches and peel away when you're done. On leather, velvet or delicate fabric, test a small hidden spot first.
…look obvious?
Five neutral colours — pick the closest to your couch and it reads as part of the furniture, not a patch.
…actually get used?
It sits exactly where she already scratches, so there's nothing new to learn. A pinch of catnip helps on day one. If she ignores it, you're covered for 30 days.
…work anywhere else?
Couch arms and backs, bed bases, wall corners, door frames, stairs — anywhere flat or gently curved.
Replacing a couch is expensive.
Protecting it isn't.
Imagine walking into your lounge room and… nothing's ruined.
No new threads hanging off the arm. No reaching for the spray bottle. No sighing every time you sit down.
Just your cat, happily stretching on her spot — and a couch that looks the way it did the day you bought it.

Everything you're wondering
How is this different from sprays and tape?
Sprays and tape try to make your furniture unpleasant and leave your cat with nowhere to scratch. The Shield gives her a satisfying surface right where she already goes — so the habit moves instead of being fought.
Will it come off without damage?
Pressed onto a clean, dry surface it's made to hold while she scratches and peel off later. Always test a hidden spot first on leather, velvet or delicate fabrics.
Can I cut it to fit?
Yes — each shield is 30 × 100 cm and trims with ordinary scissors.
Will one be enough?
If she scratches one spot, yes. Most homes have two or more (usually both couch arms), which is why most people choose Buy 2 Get 1 Free.
Which colour should I choose?
Natural Beige for light or warm fabrics, Light or Dark Grey for grey couches, Charcoal for dark couches, Warm Brown for leather-look or timber tones.
How long does it last?
Depends how keen your cat is. When it's worn, peel it off and stick on a fresh one — that's why bundles include spares.
What if my cat ignores it?
Make sure it covers the exact spot and height she was scratching, and rub a little catnip on it — the RSPCA suggests this for scratching surfaces. Still not interested? Contact us within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
I'm renting. Is it OK on walls and door frames?
There are no screws, nails or holes. As with any adhesive, test a small offcut on painted surfaces first.
Will it stick to my couch fabric?
It grips best on smooth, tightly woven fabric, faux leather, timber and painted walls. On velvet, bouclé or loose, knobbly weaves, test a small piece first. If it won't stay put, you're covered by our 30-day guarantee.
How long does shipping take?
Processing takes 1–3 business days and delivery Australia-wide usually 7–12 business days, with tracking by email.
