Sentry Stop That! Noise & Pheromone Cat Spray, 1 oz (New)

I have tried everything to get my cat to stop scratching my couch (which she does for attention). She's very pick about scratching posts, so I've tried at least five different ones. Tried picking her up and relocating her ever time she sractched. I've sprayed it with a concoction of lemon, eucalyptus, citronella and some other essential oils. Tried sticky tape. Covered it with a blanket. Hung orange peels from it. NOTHING stopped her. THIS WORKED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. After maybe four times of spraying it, she only tried to scratch the couch once after that (it's been two weeks so far). And all I had to do was REACH for the can and she immediately ran away. I didn't even touch it. Pretty sure I have tried everything to get my cat to stop scratching my couch (which she does for attention).

Pretty sure even if the can ran out of spray inside it wouldn't matter - I would just need to hold it and she'd run away. She doesn't really scratch unless we're around (because it's for attention), so I'm not sure if it would work as well for cats that scratch in secret. But if they do it in front of you - this is the best money I've spent in a long time. … more

I have 15 cats and like any family they don't always get along. It's usually just a little tussle and a little pheromone spray usually diverts their aggression. This product was not what I expected. I did not realize that this was a noise maker. I thought it was just something like Thunder Spray or Feliway. Albeit, it's my fault for not reading it more closely, but I saw it as "Stop that Noise!" Pheromone spray, not "Stop That!...NOISE AND Pheromone spray." With that said, the first time I sprayed it I scared the life out of myself and the cats. The scent that was released was a mild lavender scent, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the cats.

If I hadn't thrown out the box I would return it. I don't like the idea of scaring my cats when a simple scent usually deters their bad behavior just fine. … more

This was the ONLY thing that made my cat stop scratching the tv! I had to put the tv stand away, until this arrived. I only had to spray twice for him to stop and he never tried to scratch again! Only downside is the smell... It's very strong and unpleasant, I had to leave the room for a few minutes after spraying, but TOTALLY worth it! :)

Sparta is an adult male cat that has been undeterred by anything we did. Spray bottles, yelling, negative emotions, loud noises, time outs, and spankings all proved ineffective. We were even considering hiring a behavior analyst to see if they could help. After just 1 or 2 short sprays, Sparta has finally learned certain behaviors are not ok. After little more than half a can, he is less troublsome and more responsive to the word "no." We finally have a safe, effective, and ethical deterrant for his bad behavior.

The concept of the product is great- the loud puff of compressed air is enough to get your feline's attention and stop them from whatever it is they're doing. But why the horrible scent was added I'll never understand! I literally sprayed it once- that's one press of the nozzle- and I could taste the awful smell while trying to sleep that night!! Yuck! But it did give me the idea to try compressed air (with no scent of course) and that works great!

my cat did not even flinch at this. did not work at all which is disappointing because of the cost... and because he is still scratching the walls, bedframe, carpets, etc.

Stop that spray will calm the cat instantly when my cat is anxious and running wild geez .spray in the cats direction the sound and pheromones mist gets his attention to slow down. some reviews mention ed a bad smell but there is actually No scent from the mist . I like the product just wish the affects from 1or 2 sprays would last longer . And the can is too small.

My cat likes to try and wake you up from 4am-6am and nothing would stop him from the crying to clawing the blinds, window, walls or headboard. We started using the other brand air cans and it worked but only for 30 min or so. He always would come back and then avoid the can sensors. When I saw this product I wanted to try it because I knew he didn’t like the air but this one also had the pheromones in it. On day 1 he was shocked I had something new and by day 3 he hasn’t even tried again. It’s been going on 4 years!! We are so thrilled about this product. I leave it on my nightstand and I just spray the air one time and he leaves and doesn’t come back but the great thing is he’s stopped doing My cat likes to try and wake you up from 4am-6am and nothing would stop him from the crying to clawing the blinds, window, walls or headboard.

We will see if it continues but it’s louder than other brands and it only takes a short burst so the can should last a long time. I can smell the pheromones for just a minute but they do subside in minutes from my smell. … more

We purchased this in desperation. We were elated to find that our cat responded immediately. We use it sparingly so our cat doesn’t get used to it.

The noise is a good deterrent. The scent is borderline offensive. Almost triggered an asthma attack on 3rd use of the product. I did not notice any calming of the cat. The pheromone was the reason I purchased this spray. I will when the bad behavior starts, continue to try to use this and see if any calming is noticed. I will if I notice changes, amend this review.
