Since the practice of declawing cats is illegal in some parts of the country and is being phased out of some veterinary school curriculum, it's time to find a new way to protect your furniture that makes you and your cat happy.

That's where the Stelucca Amazing Shields come in handy as a cat scratch deterrent that doesn't require any sprays or chemicals. Preventing cats from clawing furniture might be the worst part about having a feline companion (along with cleaning a litter box each day), but these clear shields have several pros including how easy they are to install and the fact that the six-pack is marked down to its lowest price ever.

We don't know about you, but $14 seems like a great deal to keep your sofas and loveseats looking brand new. Not to mention, it's a lot cheaper than paying for a declawing procedure and aftercare.

The best part about the scratch deterrents is that they are made from durable clear plastic that you'll barely notice. Each 17-inch by 12-inch panel can be cut to fit your furniture, and then all you have to do is peel the adhesive and stick it on. The kit also comes with twist pins that provide extra reinforcement, but this step is optional.

More than 7,000 Amazon shoppers swear by the protective shields to save their furniture and one five-star reviewer said it's the "only thing that actually works" and added that they like it better than sprays that need to be reapplied. Another satisfied customer said it "helps preserve furniture" by preventing their cats from being able to claw the sides of their favorite chair.

What sets the Stelucca Shields apart from other cat scratching deterrents is that they're a one-and-done solution that won't damage your furniture with stains and snags. Plus, your cats don't need to go under a painful and life-altering procedure so it's a win-win for everyone.
