In
1996, Bonnie Pemberton founded Fe-Lines, Inc. As an avid
cat lover, Bonnie has always been aware of the difficulty in keeping
cats out of house plants as well as the painful decision many
cat owners face regarding whether or not to declaw their pets.
Most animal lovers generally shun declawing as unnatural and cruel,
but the problem of having thousands of dollars worth of furniture
destroyed by indoor cats is a viable problem as well.
After many frustrating trips to pet stores where no products
actually addressed these needs, Bonnie developed Sticky
Paws!® for Furniture, the only effective and viable
alternative to de-clawing. Cats as pets are abandoned or surrendered
to local shelters for two primary reasons: scratching / destroying
furniture and the cats’ behavioral change associated with
de-clawing.
Sticky Paws!® for Furniture are transparent
adhesive strips that easily apply directly to furniture, carpets,
fabrics, stereo speakers, rugs, drapes, counter tops and anywhere
else cats should not be. These 2” X 12” strips effectively
stop cats from scratching furniture and other household items.
Sticky Paws!® strips use a medical grade water-based
adhesive, so they won’t harm cats or furniture and won’t
leave a sticky residue when removed.
Sticky Paws!®
for Plants help keep cats out of house and potted plants.
These 2” X 12” brown corrugated plastic strips are sticky
on one side and can be easily cut to size to surround the tree
in the plant’s pot. Sticky Paws!® for Plants are
effective, waterproof and won’t interfere with watering.
In 2000, both Sticky Paws!® for Furniture
and Sticky Paws!® for Plants received the ASPCA®
Seal of Approval after their experts
tested the product and validated the product claims. A percentage
of all sales of Sticky Paws!® products directly benefit
national humane and shelter programs.
In 2003, Fe-Lines, Inc., launched Sticky
Paws!® XL, which is designed to protect carpets, area
rugs and other large surfaces from not only unwanted scratching
behaviors, but also inappropriate elimination. Fe-Lines, Inc.,
will also launch SCRATCH THIS!®
, a cardboard cat scratcher with premium catnip, giving cats
something they SHOULD use their claws on.
In 2005, Fe-Lines, Inc., again acting the leader
in the industry, launched its newest product: Sticky
Paws! ON-A-Roll!®
for unsurpassed convenience and effectiveness with the same product
application as regular Sticky Paws.
