Does this cover furniture damage from cats: clawing, scratching, etc.?

It is NOT covered according to item S on page 4 of this PDF (http://www.mysmartguard.com/SmartGuard%20Furniture%20Terms%20&%20Conditions.pdf) from the company's website.

I don't see that specified in the policy. The phone number for questions is 1-877-308-8071.

I don't know. I would not think that this would be with it not being related to normal wear and tear.

Not sure about "trimming down" of claws, but this is used as deterrent to scratching on the furniture. Best to clip the tips off the cats nails to keep them blunt, but ask your vet.

It's possible. My cat isn't a clawer so we haven't had issues but I can imagine a cat could claw through it.

I don't have cats, but I think if yours still have their claws, they could damage the cover. As you know, once they get a tear started, the rest is history! I have found the cover to be very durable for protecting my bike in a underground parking garage storage area.

I would say cats with claws would ruin this chair. If I were you I would look for the faux-leather type chair.

Typically the soft paws are only used on the front feet as this mostly protects furniture from scratching and climbing damage.Although our cats occasionally scratch a bit with their bare back feet, this is nothing like the damage done previously.They can, and do, still scratch furniture when they are startled and take-off on a tear.This method still allows cats to claw with their back feet if fighting as this is the most common defense (clawing with the back feet).Other people may have installed Soft Claws on all four paws but we find it unnecessary.

I have 1 cat and 3 cat scratchers so it's hard to tell how long one will last. He uses them all and loves them. He does not scratch the furniture so that's a plus.

It will keep them from peeing on certain spots on carpeting. I don't know about just scratching.

Yes - screw-type upholstery tacks come with it, and little holes are in the cat protectors where you can put the screw tacks through and attach the protectors onto the ends of the furniture. The protectors work very well, but if the cat wants to scratch he'll find another place on the chair to do so. But it won't be where the protectors are.

I have had leather furniture ruined by cat urine. The urine runs off the leather into the fabric cushion components between the seat and back of the chair/sofa. I don't think it stays on the leather per se, but because it soaks into a place that is hard to reach, it is very hard to treat. You could spray the furniture, as the cat has sprayed/peed, so the Fizzion goes into the same place, but what happened to me was the liquid loosened the glue that holds the leather to the cushion components, and the hides began to lift off of the fill. I believe Fizzion will kill cat urine odor anywhere it can reach and soak in for a few hours. I only buy "throw away" furniture, and recently replaced 7 yo leather furniture with more. To protect this furniture, I stuff rolled up hand towels down into the crease between the seat and back, and bought multiple changes of furniture covers for it (from Amazon, of course). While some peeing does occur, it is not as often, and after many months, the furniture beneath is still like new. Albeit we aren't actually sitting on leather, but once the cat pee gets into the cushions I think it is near impossible to get it out because the Fizzion can't reach it all, and even if it does, the leather may separate from the fill. My furniture that was ruined was before I found Fizzion, and if I had it then, perhaps I wouldn't have had to soak it so often, and it would have lasted longer. Fizzion is the very best product to remove cat urine I have ever found, in years of having cats and searching for urine removal products. Hope this helps.

I don't know about cats. It is a pretty touch cover and mine is a little faded but is still in very good shape.

I do not know as we don't have leather. I would be worried about leaving a residue behind after removal. I hope someone else can give an experienced answer. Works to keep cats from scratching though!

Probably not so well if they do any clawing our scratching. That being said, we used one for years camping with our 60 lb dog walking across and sleeping on the bed with us. And we used it occasionally at home where our 3 cats laid on it. Ultimately it wore out (small tears at the seams) before the pets got to it. The mattress is well made...and keeping bedding on it may help protect it while in use.

I'm not sure what kind of furniture covers you want to keep in place, but the felt is very thick, so it might help prevent sliding on a cloth furniture surface, but I don't think it would work on leather. It does keep furniture from sliding, though, and prevents wood signs from banging on my children's doors. :)

Yes, it works well and hasn't damaged my furniture. You must reapply often. Be careful not to get it on your hands as it is hard to get off.

There are some little pieces of shredded cardboard around it but it's not too bad. I have 1 cat that scratches on it daily (I got it in the beginning of December) and it's still got a bit of life left. You can also flip it over to alternate sides.

I bought the spray for furniture (feliway's website says the spray is more effective for scratching) and honestly I see a lot less scratching but I do sometimes catch them scratching at an area they've been scratching for years.
