Pet MasterMind Claw Withdraw Scratch Deterrent Cat Spray, 4-oz bottle

My cats have been shredding the carpet on the stairs and I bought this spray and an incline scratcher hoping to keep that from happening. I can't say it's working. I tested it first to make sure it wouldn't discolor the carpet (it didn't). The instructions say "It is ideal to spray the objects 3 times a day for the first week while your cat forms new habits." I admit I forgot and didn't do this 3X a day. I just sprayed it when I noticed them clawing at the stairs on the carpet again (which they are still doing). The smell is not bad but I wouldn't use it for air freshener.

So I read the reviews and most of them were positive so I thought hey I'll take a chance well when I got home I sprayed in the area and I noticed that I really did not like the way it smelled but I really wanted my younger cat to stop messing with the curtains and the couch and the new ottoman well I sprayed and and no fill these can't switch I have to now The Young and the old laid directly on the spot where I sprayed and still continue to call the items that I sprayed not once not twice but three times so I have to give this product 1 *! Not a happy customer.

I wish I could say this product was effective. I've been trying to avoid needing to buy the sticky tape for fear of ruining my couches. I had been spraying this on my couches 3x/day as the bottle recommended. However, today about 1 minute after I finished spraying this on my couch my mischievous kitty walks in and starts scratching where I just sprayed this product. I will be looking into other scratch deterrent options.

I’m glad I’m using this product in the summer otherwise the smell would be pretty off putting as I don’t usually smell citronella in any other season! This worked instantly on my cloth chair. It needs to be more consistently reapplied to my wicker bench but the bottle does mention that it will need to be applied more to slick surfaces. I don’t know how it works but I even watched my girl go to scratch my chair, her all time favorite scratcher, and she put her paw up, stopped, shook her paw, and walked away. Thanks for saving my furniture!!

We have two Ragdoll boys who are almost 5 months old. We do not want to declaw! Milo trained to scratching items with only a few mistakes. Bodhi was very stubborn, no matter the surface -- cardboard, sisal, jute (sometimes he will scratch jute now so we think he is tender pawed). We tried double sided tape - but with one mishap with Milo getting it stuck to him and the fact than you can't cover all the furniture with tape, we were about to give up and declaw. Last ditch hail Mary and tried this. Sprayed all his spots and then some. He sniffed it and walked away. He is now reluctantly going to the jute post and using that more. He has left the furniture alone. So far, the effects have lasted We have two Ragdoll boys who are almost 5 months old. We do not want to declaw!

I was careful to shake the bottle well as I can imagine that mixing in case of separation of ingredients might be needed. I have ordered a second bottle in case it does wear off as I don't want to be without the stuff. It might not work for everyone but it's worth a try -- make sure to shake it up. Odor was not unpleasant -- herby-- and dissipated after a couple hours, and I have a good nose. Thanks Chewy! … more

My one cat was driving me crazy by scratching the molding around the doors at our new house. Figured what do I have to to lose. I sprayed this on the frames and my cat has not scratched the doors frames. It really works.

Sprayed it on furniture multiple times and the cats are staying away. I’ve gone through 2 bottles because 4 ounces isn’t enough to cover furniture multiple times.

It’s suppose to stop cats from scratching areas but my cats still strath the area that I sprayed. So it was a waste of money to get it.

This product did not deter our 5 month old cat from scratching furniture. Tried multiple times with no success :(

I started using this 4 days ago so it’s early days but my two cats haven’t scratched my new couch yet so that’s a good sign. The initial smell reminds me of the stuff you use to keep the mosquitoes away but that’s just when you first spray it on, it doesn’t last. I’m happy with it for now. Bottle is small for the price.
