Pet MasterMind Claw Withdraw Stop Cat Scratching Training Spray - Natural Solution to Tape, Caps, Tinfoil,- 8oz

This stuff works! I was soooooo skeptical. I read the reviews on dozens of deterrent sprays. I had used a few different sprays in the past, but I had never found one that worked. Typically I would just use the double sided anti-scratch tape and call it good. However, I recently purchased an expensive, velvet accent chair for my formal living room that I knew would take more than a roll of tape to protect. So I turned to the sprays as a solution(no pun intended lol). Like I said, I had my doubts. My biggest fear was that the spray would stain or ruin the upholstery. I tested a small spot on the back and there was no residue or stain left behind. I also worried that the smell would not only deter the cats but it might deter humans as well. lol I was relieved to find that it didn't have a chemical smell to it and the smell wasn't overpowering. It smells kind of like a citronella candle. It's not my go-to scent but not horrible either. The best part about this product is that my cats HATE it! I sprayed it on the chair and immediately they both walked a wide berth around the chair. They didn't even want me to touch them because the scent of the spray was still on my hands. The spray worked so well, I sprayed a few other pieces of furniture and even a table runner(because I know that when I am not looking those buggers jump on my table). I've only had the spray for a couple of days but haven't seen the cats go near my chair once. It is as if the chair doesn't exist now. I can't tell you how relieved I am. If you are on the fence about this product, take a chance and purchase it. I am SO glad that I did!

Tried to spray on my furniture; little droplets came out, but nothing like I expected, and got far more on my hands, and from my hands dripping onto the floor. The little droplets were nothing like usually comes out as an aerosol. I'm not sure if it's related, but the bottle is caved in, and no amount of squeezing can pop the bottle to be round again. I considered trying to find a better aerosol bottle to use, but can't locate one to try. A waste of money in my opinion.

The liquid deterrent is great, actually does discourage my cat. The smell is not unpleasant for me, & I have not noticed a residue. It does, however, dissipate rapidly & need to be re-applied.This would not be a problem if the pump spray worked better. Unfortunately, the sprayer is next to useless--it sprays only a few inches away, doesn't spray well at an angle, swivels easily & often sprays AWAY from the object you want to spray, & it leaks like crazy.So, 4.5 stars for the liquid deterrent, & .5 star for the pump sprayer & I end up with about 3 stars...Now if it came with a decent reusable trigger spray bottle for the initial purchase, & afterward you could simply buy refills, THAT would be a real winner...

I bought this spray and another spray, hoping one would work.THIS spray "claw withdraw" does actually make my kitten stop scratching an area. It does not deter him from being in the area, but stops scratching and biting and I am surprised with how well it works. For example, I have a couch cover that dangles in a few areas. He would attack those areas wildly. After spraying a bit right on the dangling edge, he still runs by and jumps up onto the couch without bother, but doesn't attack the edge. Also worked for the corner of a chair he decided was a perfect scratch area. A light spray and he stopped. I only re-apply for a few days in a row... then only if he starts to scratch up that area again, but that hasn't happened yet. It also worked great when he first tried to chew a cord... a few spritzes and he left it alone and hasn't tried to chew even when walking right over the cord now.Note... it is a *very strong* scent when you first spray it. Go light and don't try to soak an area or you may have to stay away yourself for a day. I am quite impressed with how little it really takes to be effective.Why did I only give 4 stars? Because the bottle tends to seep onto my hand a little at the spout and I wish it had an adjustable nozzle since sometimes I need more of a drip than a wide-angle over-spray. I will need to get a better bottle to put it into for best use.THE OTHER spray *attracted* my kitten! He comes running when he smells it and sniffs the area with great interest. Not good. Stick with this one.
