Does this work with cats who scratch at door frames when they aren't allowed in a certain room?

Oops! Just noticed that this was a question and not an ad...sorry, but I have not used this product for that purpose, but I wonder if it might help to spray it on a cloth near the door to help calm the cat down so it wouldn't be so persistent? Small old wash cloths or hand towels come in real handy in order to spray them instead of surfaces--and you can move them to various locations, saving the use of the spray. I would spray it intermittently in the area the cat is in during the day (I spray it on the edge of each cat bed and near where they eat--also in the living room in strategic locations you might try spraying it outside the door your cat is scratching as well , taking care to avoid spraying it where they might get it on their fur and lick it off). I sprayed it on the a blanket inside a crate when I took one of my stressed cats to the vet, and they used pheromones when she arrived, and she was affectionately writhing around, allowing the vet and technicians do anything they wanted with her! The vet tech just loved her because she was soooooo cooperative. This is a cat who will not let anyone lay eyes on her, no less touch her, when they visit my house! Hope this helped.~

Yes it worked with my 2 cats. One cat quickly learned I would come running so she ignored the sound and just sat on it to see how fast I could get there. The other avoided the area like the plague.

Answer here...not tha t I know of all of these products either clean surfaces or keep cats from resparaying. You may want to try one of the products for cleaning like the extra strong cleaner. It does kill odors and the reason your cat is scratching an area on the rug probably is because there is a smell that is attracting the cat. try the extra strong cleaner first. in any case it will clean very well.

No. Unless your cats hits the window fairly hard it will will scare him. It's a good item

I have cats it holds up to the clawing they do but a dog does a different type of damage. A dog may be able to push it loose but that us more about how the door secures the screen. Works great for cats.

I never tried it for that particular use but it does help with anxiety in a cat and it stopped my one cat from spraying my furniture. I use cardboard cat scratchers sprayed with Kong brand concentrated cat nip and I also trim my 7 cats toe nails. I started trimming their toe nails when they were kittens so they all just lay in my lap and let me trim their nails without a fuss what so ever. Hope this helps.

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

I really depends on the window. The cat door doesn't have anything built in. A simple solution might be a stick the right size to wedge in the window to prevent it from opening.

I keep my against a wall or in a corner (two walls). I also made sure I had an 'L' shaped base. For a while I had a large 'infinity' shaped scratching post thing that was heavy and I place it inside like a ramp. If your joints are loose, a little electrician's tape can help, or make a joint frozen. Consider also a heavy weight on the base frame for a week or two 'til the cat forgets about knocking it over. Hope this helps.

No! I had a leayher couth and my cat was so excited..he couldn't help but scratch the couch with his claws. It puts them in a better mood but does not stop yhem from clawing!

We have cats and their claws will scratch the leather I know. We cover them with blankets when not using them.

this works great on corners but I also needed it on the back of a chair so I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the plastic by the yard cut it and put it across the back of one chair with straight pins that my cat scratches. Also....cut cats nails which will help and place several of the scratch pads with cat nip around house.

Our cat walks on this all the time and we have had no problems. She does not scratch the furniture much so I don't know how affective it is against that. The material is a bit slippery (but stays in place due to the straps) so it may resist a scratching cat.

Absolutely not! scratching is "their thing". Cats scratch when they are happy. It's in their genes. It's natural. One of my rescue cats is declawed and he still scratches on the post.

If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help. Also, sticky tape on surfaces you prefer to save from little claws should work as well. The combination of the two should definitely entice your kitty to the tall, sturdy post. It also comes with catnip to help direct those dastardly toes toward appropriate scratching spots! When introducing the post, you might want to use a pinch of the catnip (included w/ post) rubbed on all sides of the post ... but not really necessary! Think your kitty is just looking for a tall place to stretch and scratch! Hope this helps! Good luck to both of you!!! If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help.

Yes, if your cat is small to average sized. I have a small adult cat who loves it, and a very large adult cat who uses the scratch posts, but isn't a fan of climbing. He might fit, but he's never tried to lay down up there.

I bought the spray for furniture (feliway's website says the spray is more effective for scratching) and honestly I see a lot less scratching but I do sometimes catch them scratching at an area they've been scratching for years.
