Can it be used before the cat has come in contact with the furniture?

Yes but will not be effective until after cat has been present since it works by neutralizing dander that's already in existence.

you can spray at anytime, but if no dander present it may be a waste of product

Yes, you can. Directions are in the manual under training a cat to use the door.

Absolutely! Mine just sits on the floor horizontally in front of our tv stand and is about 2' long. This is the ONLY scratching post/device my cat uses and has saved our couches!

I would not suggest it. It leaves behind a sticky film that doesn't come off easily. I was able to use goo gone because it was on my table but I'm pretty sure you can't use that on leather so I wouldn't risk it. I would suggest keeping a scratching post a few feet away from the couch and rub catnip on it so it prefers to use the scratching post instead.

My cat walked across the couch and set it off and now will not go near it but yes if you don't need to cover the couch you can drape it over because the battery/alarm pack is heavy enough to hold it in place. Plus couch pillows don't set it off either. I can't believe I have struggled for so many years and in one week it solved my pet/ furniture issues!!

Yes, if you rub it on shotgun shells. We use it in a mixture with Dawn dish washing liquid and water for an organic fire ant killer. Have no experience with cats.

youd need a few of them to cover the area. But yes, if it covers the area and a cat puts pressure on it by standing or touching, it should alarm and scare them off.

No def not. Very fragile and tempremental.Although a good idea to find your cat, this product actually is bad, and I would not reccomend it.

This is an open weave fabric, which leads me to believe that the cat's claws may get caught in it. It would probably also look unsightly after the first use. I would recommend using a carpet remnant pie e or wrap the pole with thick sisal rope. That would be more durable and cat friendly.

No. I don't see how one could and I don't think it would be a good idea. This is a great and useful thing for giving cats a taste of the outdoors, or even using it indoors to keep them from getting under foot, but you still need to monitor them when they're in it.

You probably can, there is enough extra plastic spacing. Just sand down the rough edges to avoid kitty rubbing injuries.

You cats may push this screen over if they start scratching on this screen. I would not recommend if you have cats OR like the cat behaviorist recommends, put a scratching post in front of the place where they like to scratch so they won't scratch a piece of 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, I have it behind sectional and my cat jumps from couch to it without any problems

no, if the cat is outside it might get caught on something and the cat would be stuck there.

If the cat is already matted I'm not too sure this would work well, however, it may be useful to prevent matting.

it worked but my cat found other places on the sofa to destroy. covering an entire sofa or chair is not practical. i have chenille and it took off some fuzz but basically was ok. the whole thing did not work for me. my couch is in tatters in various locations. never underestimate the cleverness of the feline who wants to scratch!
