These will have an effect on your cats. They are extremely strong smelling and offensive to the cats. We used them to get rid of stray cats hanging out in the back yard and on the porch. The cats did not like them at all and do not hang around the premises any more; thus, I would think your own cats would try to get away from the deterrent triangles. You might try them on the exterior perimeter of your yard if that's at all possible.

That was sort of my situation, and it didn't bother my cat or the other cats,, but it did seem to draw predators like foxes. this did not work for me at all. Waste of money. You'd be better off getting the thing that's motion activated and squirts water, then you can aim it away from your cats and the strays will hate it.

Same answer I'm afraid, it stopped my cats from spraying, but they will still try with the scratching, get an extra scartch pad or post?

funny you should ask that- I have 2 cats as well, and I love them like crazy- I only use this product on my sport coats- and i spray them outside, and then usually hang on my shower rod. I wouldn't just douse your apartment/house in this stuff, but you can protect your garments with it- I just wouldn't lay it on the floor where your cats could get to it. In all likelihood, they would be repelled by the smell of it, but why take a chance. And I would wait to wear a garment a couple of days after spraying, just to be safe. If you really have nice wool and/or silk garments, I promise you moths will find them and feast. They especially love silk.

It might help, I would get a collar for each one of the cats. This helped my 2 that would fight with each other. Good luck!

I have 4 outside cats that all live in my backyard (they hardly ever go in the front). I've had this ball chillin' in the backyard next to my exercise equipment for a couple years now. To my knowledge, they have never once even approached it. Not sure why but I do think that if they wanted to damage it, they probably could. They scratch on my wooden post a lot and it looks pretty damaged, but never this ball. I think it intimidates them or something.

No, they really don't work at all from my experience with local cats. Don't waste your money.

I never did that but I assume you would cage the stray continually for a week or more to see if they can get along after the curiosity stage wears off. It can be hard for two males to adopt to each other, and you can see if they will spray etc. Sometimes strays turn into good household cats, more often than not they remain fidgety and hide, etc.

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

Oh I'm sure:) but cats are a bit more stealth! They might figure out quickly how to work around it. As long as they don't step heavily on it they'd be fine. It would be hilarious to watch.

This device does not work AT ALL. It does not work with cats. The feral cats visiting my yard literally sit on top of them (I bought two)and wait for the birds. Since it does not work on cats it will most likely not affect your pets at all.

I am troubleshooting it to see how I can respond and help you with this question. Make sure you pull the lever to the plate where they step on as far back as possible, then hook it onto the hinge lever and test it. That seems to be the only way these traps work. ai have many years working with these kind of traps rescuing stray cats....

Your cats will be highly offended by the presence of this electronic monstrosity with which you have polluted their once-peaceful abode. The only ones who won't leave home are the ones who can't. In any mega-multi-cat household, there are always a few who are either being starved of who have been crushed by the others. When you discover who they are, get them some veterinary care. Then they will be able to freely make the decision to go or stay. Cats do not like to have to vie for your attention, and your new jumbo-tron will be too much for them.

like any other kennel. Put the stray cat in with a litter box, food/water, toys, blanket or small cat bed. Leave them in there while other cat is on outside of cage. They can get used to each other through the cage. Then you could slowly let stray cat out for short periods of time. I did that with kittens. When littens got bigger and used to my other animals then I would leave the kennel door open for kittens to go in if they wanted a place to rest away from the other animals.

We have outside places to plug in the heated cat house. They have a braker on them should something happen.. You need to be careful of weather or water with electricity.

Well, it's random and that's what sends the cats running. I know when I'm outside, I trigger it, but it's not right away and I hear this scratchy noise. It's not very loud for me, but I know it's loud enough for the cats and that I still don't have cats pooping in my garden, so it's working.

Not at all! If you wave these babies in front of the cat, she is going to bat them all to %#$@ ...... Keep them to yourself, treat them nicely and they will reward you with beautiful sound!

Give it some time. Let the cats adjust to it. Put toys on the levels. They will come around.
