Pet MasterMind Claw Withdraw Cat Scratch Deterrent Spray

Nice smelling but doesn’t deter cat from sprayed areas regardless how many times sprayed. To bad because it is not cheap.

My new 6 month old cat is having trouble figuring out where it's ok to scratch. Despite having numerous scratching posts in multiple locations she would still use the furniture & carpet wherever she got the urge. Since I started using this stuff a few weeks back it's made a huge difference in her scratching behavior with only a few bad scratch incidents. The only downside is how expensive this stuff is. Although Im now only spraying the locations once a day as a reminder to her it's recommended that you spray the locations 3 times daily. If you have multiple locations like I do the bottle only lasts 10 days or so. BTW, Im on my 3rd bottle.

You are supposed to spray 3x a day for a week, which seems like a lot. It concerns me that you are supposed to just keep spraying, but less, even after the first week. To be fair, I don't think I'll last a whole week. So far, so good though - hopefully I can break my cats' recent habit without forever spraying. The challenge is spraying it where I don't want them to claw, but not overlapping where I still want them to hang out.It has a strong, but not unpleasant scent (lemon verbena? citronella? not sure, but neither are on the ingredients list) for a few minutes after spraying, but it seems to dissipate soon enough.

I have been going through a long and seemingly endless process of moving which has been very stressful for my 4 cats. One has responded with treating the bathtub as his own personal litter box and it has been driving me up a wall that I cannot get him to stop doing this, but I know it's because of the stress from all of the changes to his environment and also because I've not been around as much, however I was hoping that this product would help deter this behavior. Unfortunately it has absolutely no effect.There was one day where I cleaned up the tub right I got home and sprayed this all over the tub afterwards and even in the sink (just in case he was deterred from the tub and decided to swap his target to the sink), and all of 20 minutes later he had gone to the bathroom in the tub again, so it definitely had no effect on him. I also tried spraying this on shoes in my closet that one of my kittens seems to be obsessed with chewing on, and it also didn't work to deter him either.I don't blame the product for necessarily being ineffective, I think this is more so just a product that doesn't specifically work for my cats. I've also tried peppermint and lavender essential oils, which I've read are more natural and effective deterrents for cats, and those also don't work once the scent begins to fade. I've only noticed my cats being irritated by any scent-based deterrents for the first several seconds to up to the first minute after I've administered them, once the smell has settled in though, they no longer notice it and have no issue going right back to their bad habits and stress-related behavioral issues.

This is very much worth the buy. Quality is spot on and great value. I've tried everything to stop my cats from scratching the walls and nothing worked. I decided to try this and it has been working great. None of my cats like the smell so it's been keeping them from scratching walls. I sprayed once in one spot they love to scratch and it's been working for days . Very happy with this and don't have to use a lot making it last long. Recommend this to all cat owners
