My cat is definitely deterred from scratching my new chair. Maybe this product deserves 5 stars but there hasn't been enough time to determine how lasting this behavior modification is. The spray's fragrance is a bit over powering for this human but it dissipates enough, quickly enough, to be bearable. It has not stained my furniture, which is a plus. Stay tuned .. if I am able to update this review, I will.

Feels a bit tacky first few days after application on cloth coach & love seat areas of scratch attacks. Must admit she's leaving them alone now. Happy I tried this before she destroyed this furniture.

Tried several sprays to keep the kittens from scratching the furniture, no luck. The Stop Scratch worked the first time and it smells heavenly. It didn't stain the furniture. Sprayed it in the morning and again in the evening when the play time picked up. After three days they lost interest in furniture and scratch away on their two scratching posts.

I was skeptical at first but it worked from the very first time I used it. I bought a large bottle but that was not needed. If I had to do it all over again the only thing I would change is the size of the bottle that was purchased.

Unsure at first

You know how these things go.. but this worked great! It kept the cats from eating the artificial tree and from scratching on the couch when we were training them

It really works! It’s just the first week you have to spray multiple times a day! After that you spray once -twice a day but consistently. If you stop the smell fades and the cat just come back.

That it didn't work that well.

We sprayed where our new cat started scratching and spraying and he went right to the same spots and did both.

this seems to work but it is extremely difficult to apply. The spray button is stiff and hard to spray and if not titled right won't spray at all. I was recently in our local pet store and found a spray in an aerosoul can (excuse my spelling). It is much easier to use. I was talking about it with a friend and she like us she had the same complaint.
