Has anyone used to keep cats off the furniture?

I would not use it to keep cats off the furniture, as strong scenting oils (also essential oils) are in fact very dangerous for cats. Check out this article. http://articulateanimals.com/blog/2009/10/essential-oils-2/

No, but I wouldn't want my cat anywhere near it. Think about walking across something and then licking its paws. I wear safety glasses when working with it.

I use it to keep the neighbor's cats & their muddy footprints off the upholstered bench on my front porch. I placed cardboard between the bench and the cushion & spray the cardboard. The liquid absorbs into the cardboard and maintains the orange scent for about a week. The cats never actually come in contact with it, but it works -- they hate the scent, and don't jump onto the bench. It has proven to be an easy fix.

I bought the orange oil because my cat is making "wallows" in the yard and ruining the lawn. I saw on the internet that cats don't like a citrus smell. I poured it on her places but had no effect.

I have mine in the fabric of the sofa and they're doing fine. No one can tell they're there and it keeps the cat from clawing. I'm very pleased.

Get a main Scat Mat (the one with the battery pack included) and any extensions you need to cover the length of your counters. My brother and sister-in-law used these to keep their Labrador off their counters. That's how I got the idea to use it to keep my cats off my daughter's bed.

At least one of the cats regularly uses the post. Though we use the simple cardboard scratching blocks, and they both love those. We put them in front of the furniture we don't want them to scratch, then slowly reposition the blocks to areas aesthetically acceptable to my wife:) But to directly answer your question, yes, they seem to prefer the rough rope of the tree to furniture. Hope that helps!

I'm not so sure about keeping them physically off the cushions, but it will help with them marking that area. Since it's outside, you will need to apply it more frequently or it will fade quickly and the marking will pick back up without the reapply. I haven't noticed this keeping my outdoor cat away from the sprayed areas, it's only keeping him and the neighborhood cats from marking the areas.

I have never heard of that unless cats do not like a strong citrus smell....pepper is a great way to keep cats away but have no idea about this being used for that purpose.

Sorry cant help you, I didnt run into that problem. We did not have success with this keeping our cat off the counter.

Yes, just by stepping on it, which is why I couldn't use mine for awhile till my cat got adopted. Of course I would imagine once it went off and scared them they would stay away from it...but you know how cats are

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.

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

It's great if they pee on something, they stay away, don't know about the furniture, it's more for keeping the cat calm

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.

I am using it for drapes (to keep from adding hardware in my apartment) it holds the weight well enough once you get it secured... But the cat has managed to pull it down via the drapes.

YES! This is exactly what we did, the cats use the bolster to keep them from rolling off the shelf. They use it as a pillow as well. I would recommend turning it so the bolster faces in.

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.

No, it doesn't stay on that tight. But there is a lip on the lid, so it won't slide off easily if they bat at it. Not sure how crafty your cats are! They'd have to lift the edge to knock it off, then would have to get the roll out.

If you can purchase a Scatmat that is longer than your sofa you can drape it across both arms while placing it on the seat cushions. You would probably have to purchase one for the back if your cat can jump the depth of the sofa or jump up the back. We found the "medium" setting works for our dogs. Good luck!
