Will this keep a cat from scratching their head?

for a very short period of time. My cat ruined it with in a a week or two. Also its way too long for a cat but you can cut it to make it shorter, which we did and it was much more comfortable for her but doesnt last long

It would be a very tight fit and only in one way. I would not advise as it would restrict a cat's feeling of security by feeling "boxed" in.

Yes. My cat seems to calm down when he's wearing the harness. (The velcro is noisy when you take it off the cat.)

Yes. It also protects from sharp bends in very cold weather. I have 3 of these that I have had for years. They are in my community cat winter shelters. The cats love them. They keep the cats feet dry and warm. An the cats have never let a mouse in my house.

There is a separate product that is a cat repellant that discourages them from scratching on specific surfaces. The Feliway wipes are designed to provide a scent that calms the cat and makes cats feel they're in a familiar, secure place.If you used it to discourage scratching , I think it wouldn't work due to creating scent of familiar place, and cats tend to scratch in a familiar place.The cat scratching repellant works better. I've trained my cat not to scratch places with it.

I don't know, but it only took one to keep my cat away from a problem spot...so far permanently.

It might work for that, I use it outside to keep the cats off of our cars and it is not very effective. I think using it in a close proximity would be effective.

No. It comes with self - adhesive cushions you can apply to prevent scratching.

I don't have cats but the design is simple and it does cover the whole lower half of the door area. it's hard plastic though so i'm not sure the cat will scratch at it but it should at least protect your door from being scratched up. For the price it's kind of a no brainer.

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs.tl;drThis product will not hold up to any cat.Best of luck to you!

I am not so sure. I used this just to comfort the anxiety of my car who is a bit of a loner. Maybe you should talk to your vet for a tranquilizer. I used to give half a pill to one of my other cats just to take him to the vet. Hope this helps.

the short answer is "No". We got this to keep a skunk from bothering our chickens. Neighbor's cat visits the chicken pen regularily to hunt for mice.

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.

Unfortunately yes. I purchased this for my rescue group. If this was just a scratching post I would recommend it, but as we all know cats love to jump. The first time one of my rescues jumped up onto it, it fell right over, and he wasn't one of my biggest ones, only 11 pounds. As a scratching post only it's okay and is high, but if you cat like most enjoys being up high not only will this tip over the surface is slick. I actually bought at the same time the seat cushion that went on top of it. All 4 of the tiny Velcro tabs that held the cushion to the wood piece fell off within a week. Even more dangerous the only thing that keeps the cushion with the plastic piece seat on the top are two tiny, very flexible, plastic tabs that look like what you would use to hold a picture in place. I would suggest something else I tried to save it by using stronger glue, adding weight to the bottom, and nothing worked. And frankly for the outrageous amount of money they want for this and the seat I shouldn't have had to fix it. How this passed safety testing is beyond me, frankly I'm sending in a complaint for the safety trial records to be checked- it's that dangerous. Hope that helps, ~Beth, 'Running A'Muck to the Recue!' founder.

It should help but in my case, my cat kept trying to scratch around his neck with his rear legs and his claws eventually (a couple of days) punctured the bladder.

If you fold it, it may put sufficient pressure on the mat to make it alarm. It is supposed to be fully unfolded and unwrinkled. I had little success using this mat with my three cats. It worked for my dogs. The Ssscat spray was more effective for the cats.
