A device to deter an animal from resting on furniture having a seating area comprises one or more sections of a rigid half-tubular form to be placed on the seating area, backrest, arm, and/or side of the furniture wherein the sections have a combined length to span approximately a width of the seating area, backrest, arm, or side. The half-tubular form can have the shape of an inverted half-cylindrical shape, a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or a non-uniform relief shape wherein flat edges of the form are placed on the seating area, backrest, arm, or side of the furniture.
