Once i spray this on the carpet, when can I safely let my cat walk on it? Will a month be long enough time?

I just read the can and it says to ventilate well after spraying carpets and other items. I would have the carpet very dry so the cat does not inhale any of the very toxic particulants.

Howdy. Not sure about cats... but I let my dogs [15 pound Italian greyhounds] walk on the rugs or even lay on them with no ill effects as soon as a it drys really -- maybe an hour or two.

I only used the spray on the back side of my carpet and allowed the cats on it when they wanted.

I would check to see if cedar is toxic to cats. We have been using this product for many months and we have not found any staining problems with it, however, we have not used it on carpeting. We were using it directly on flying indoor moths that seemed to be never ending. This product has worked marvelously and was so much better than using toxic flying bug spray.

The product is 100% waterproof so it will hold urine without a problem. You may temporarily smell urine on the mattress after an accident as the product is breathable (air passes through), but that is just the smell and not the actual liquid and will go away quickly on it's own. My cat pees on my mattress about twice a month and it works every time.

Ha! Mine too, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer this question (I gave up after one try). I may try again this spring, when the weather is better and they aren't so little. Heads up, the leash isn't super long either, so keep that in mind... depending on what your goal is there. And here is a link to leash-training tips from ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/cat-behavior/teaching-your-cat-walk-leash Hope this helps!

Not that I read but is safe around them. I would spray bedding areas and wait 15 minutes before putting cat back. Spray around inside house, also. And go online to Orange guard website.

Keep it in a remote area and slowly move it into the common area of the home. Once the cat feels safe start leaving a door open for it to come abd go. If it gets scated it will run back to the crate for protection. Mine live in their crates, they feel safe in them. Doors are always open to allow them to cone and go.

You need to follow instructions on the can as closely as possible. I usually do part of the house at the time and the cats and I stay in the other part. For instance I do the bedroom and we stay in the other part of the house. Then I do the other part and we stay in the bedroom or go outside for a while. My cats go outside some of the time anyway. The Vet told me the other day that I should spray and then leave the area for one hour. She said that applied to people animals and any other little creatures such as birds etc. The warnings on the can says to avoid breathing the fumes. It really does not take long for it to dry and I use it on the furniture and carpet. You need to follow instructions on the can as closely as possible.

My cat was literally no longer using his box at all. He was spraying all over the house. When I moved to an apartment, I knew I had to do something, so I tried this litter. In almost a year, he has sprayed outside of the box three times, and that was in the first few months. He has had ZERO accidents in probably 7 or 8 months. This stuff has been miraculous, in our case.

My cat has been wearing it for about two months. He goes outside all t, and so the problem hasn't come up. I have no way of knowing how effective it is in terms of getting loose if he does get caught. time and he climbs in trees and chases birds. He has not been caught up yet.,

The SmartCat is surprisingly heavy. I have it on the floor, and the cat does humor me once a day by vigorously scratching on it without moving it; but she has a whole variety of other targets: chair seats, an area rug, any blanket I'm using, etc. Nothing has distracted her from the preferred target-of-the-moment. Six strong Marines and some claw clippers might do the trick.

Hard to answer this question. Many variables such as how much traffic,how often you vaccum,are you shampooing carpet,etc. I like to spray it on every 6 months or so. We have 2 small dogs and grandchildren every once in awhile,can't hurt the way I look at it. Especially in the traffic areas.

My cat walks on it (yes, she has claws, but they're clipped) and it doesn't seem to be a problem at least in the 3 weeks I've used it. Mostly she slides on it, so she really prefers to find another way around. I did have some concerns, but so far so good.

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.

About 4-6 weeks. Just check the bottle and make sure it isn't out of the liquid. Otherwise, your cat may remind you when it is time for a new bottle;)

I have cats. I do not spray it on them. I use Advantage on them. My wife vacuums good and sprays the carpet, upholstery, carpeting, their bedding, etc. Do this once a month and you won't have a flea problem. I recommend Adams. It has worked well for me.

I have two cats and they haven't knocked it over once in the three months since I got it. They pretty much leave it alone because they know better than to bother baby territory! The nice thing about the rocking legs is even if your cat bonked into it, it would just rock and not fall over. Plus the legs are wide and criss crossed to distribute weight well so it is pretty hard to tip over at all. It's sturdy but it is light weight so if a bigger cat jumped onto one of the sides or something it's possible it could happen. I say you're safe as long as either baby is buckled in or cats are separated or you're supervising. I have two cats and they haven't knocked it over once in the three months since I got it.

I have heavy traffic carpet & I usually only do about a half-hour wait before letting the cat back in the treated area. It might take longer if you have plush or shag rugs or carpet. Just to be safe, I would recommend an hour wait if you are unsure.
