A friend said this will also discourage new pet (cat) accidents in the same places, though I see nothing about that in the description. Is that true?

no it doesn't discourage a cat from returning to the same place again, I have used almost a whole can to avoid this from happening but it still does, but this is still a great product

Not that I know of. I usually just sprayed. Now if the kitties are real young and small, I would probably not spray where they are directly. Our animals (cars and dogs) all kind of scattered when we would spray.

Have never used it for a cat, but if he/she goes on pads I would think this would help keep your floor protected. There is a "Housebreaking Spray" to spray to attract a dog. I wonder if it would help let your cat adjust to the pad being on the tray if needed. Not sure the spray is for cats. Hope it works for you!

Great question. Yes its sticky enough to discourage cats from stepping on it. It's also easy to remove off counter tops and won't hurt your cats' paws :)

I think it depends on the cat. Mine is terrified of these things, so one good spray and he'll stay away for good. I find even putting one where I don't want him to go and leaving it off is deterrent enough. And when I catch him doing something he shouldn't be, I just have to walk up with one in hand and he scampers off.

I bought mine to use it on my cat, but as soon as I try to get it close to my cat, she jumps out of my arms. The sound scares her. So unless you have a really calm cat , I wouldn't recommend this. Mine is brand new I don't use it. Or should I say my cat won't let me use it.

Possibly....depends on why the cat marked it to start with. If this was a one-time accident Nature's Miracle does a great job of eliminating the odor. But if the cat is marking territory or upset about something he may continue to use the area. Good luck.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

We bought this item specifically for that purpose: to let one cat come and go as he pleases and keep the other from doing so. All you have to do is put the magnet on the cat who you want to be able to come and go freely and put no magnet on the other cat.

A cat probably get through it, because the wire spacing is to small. Perhaps a kitten could, but probably not a cat. The wire does not come down all the way to the floor, so it would not prevent a cat from scratching the back of the seats. Hope that helps.

Sadly, it does not... and one of our cats has discovered this. This weekend we will probably mount it onto a bigger plywood base; that should slow them down. :)

Good question! It doesn't hinder anything. It definitely helps the indentations on my leather seats, but also has saved big messes when sippy cups have spilled. The mat has definitely paid off. But more importantly, their safety is not at risk.

It seems that everyone has different experiences with the product based on their individual cat's nature. For me, it doesn't keep the cat away from a piece of furniture (and therefore wouldn't prevent jumping on it), but it DID work to keep her from vertically scratching the side of the furniture. But you do have to be diligent, and spray the area daily for a few weeks. It's not a spray-it-once and forget it kind of product.

Probably not. It is intended for spraying issues (cleaning it up and eliminating pheromones and odor). Cats don't avoid it really, just don't feel the compulsion to mark things it has been sprayed on.

I no longer have any pets, my dog passed away. But my neighbor brings his dog over and it does not seem to bother him. I have the device in my carport aimed at the hood of my car that was formerly used by a cat (cats) and so far it is working. It only turns on when it detects motion in front of it so it should not affect nearby pets.

Somebody posted a video of this, demonstrating it was easy for the cat to trip the doors and keep eating. It would be dangerous if the doors were to clamp down on a cat, so we wouldn't want that. I returned this product, anyway.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet".
