    Great for keeping cats out of drawers!
    I recently adopted a cat and she is OBSESSED with hiding in areas that aren’t visible to humans. One of those places was my dresser. The tape is durable (thank God) as she’s tried to chew through the tape and claw at it. It’s also adhesive (again thank God) and doesn’t leave any residue. Get this tape. NOW.
