SmartyKat Catnip Mist Spray

I've never noticed much of a catnip reaction in my cat, so I just assumed he was one of those cats who didn't react to it, but after a friend recommended this spray I gave it a try. He definitely noticed it! I sprayed it on two of his beds that he hadn't been sleeping in as much and while it didn't make him sleep in either bed, he did proceed to lick every last drop of spray he could find on the beds. He's pretty good about scratching where he's supposed to in general, but I tested spraying this on one of his scratchers and he really went to town on it. If you were thinking you could just spray this once on every cat item in your house and be good, I don't think it works that way.

I found that my cat was only interested in it after I first used the spray, and after I showed him the areas that had been sprayed. If he hadn't been shown the sprayed locations he may not have noticed anything. He also hasn't showed repeat interest after licking off the initial spray, so if you're really trying to train your cat to scratch in a particular place you may need to apply this more frequently. The odor to the human nose is very faint/mild (thankfully), and it doesn't look like it leaves any stains. … more

Not really sure how anyone can give this product less than 5 stars. Absolutely amazing. It's a sirens song for cats. They can't stay away from it. Just a few spritzes and they are all over the scratching post ( which I also purchased from Chewy) Its great at deterring them from scratching the furniture.

I read the reviews before purchasing SmartyKat catnip mist/spray and the reviews looked split. We got our cat from a cat rescue about 2 years ago (she's approximately 4 yrs old), and the dry catnip just hasn't seemed to trip-her-trigger (could be the catnip wasn't fresh?). Anyway, I thought I'd give this a try and oh-my-gosh, did it work! I sprayed it on a toy she's had for 2 years and NEVER played with - she immediately (I mean immediately) went gaga over it. So, for us, it works!

My Amber absolutely loves this stuff. It's clear and smells exactly like dried catnip, but it doesn't stain or damage anything I've sprayed it on (including her toys, scratching post, and her bed. And Amber just rubs and rolls on everything I spray this stuff on and she just loves it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because this brand's bottle is a solid white without any way to see how much product is left inside and to me this is important so I know when I need to order more. The first time I tried this type of catnip it was a brand called Petlinks Bliss Mist Catnip Spray which came in a clear spray bottle with only a front and back label. Fortunately for me, I still had My Amber absolutely loves this stuff.

Fortunately for me, I still had some left in that clear bottle when I purchased this SmartyKat brand and transferred it's content to the empty clear bottle so I can track quantity remaining. Other than that both brands seem to contain the same product (Amber didn't react any differently between the two brands). I highly recommend this type of product if your cat loves catnip (and reacts favorably - I had a cat years ago that got aggressive with catnip so I didn't offer it to him). I'll never go back to dried catnip except to refill catnip toys that open up with Velcro so I can dump the old in order to put in fresh dried catnip. … more

My cats love this product. I spray it on the upright horse-shoe brush and they rub themselves on it. It really helps collect loose hair. I am sure the brush has a proper name, but I do not recall what it is at the moment. I was glad to find it in a larger size than what I usually find in stores.

I really hoped this would work to attract my cat to use a scratching post instead of my couch. She has zero interest in this, even if I shake the bottle up and practically saturate her scratching post. Throwing this away.

I got it for my new cat and I wasn’t sure if he would react to catnip. His reaction to the spray was very mild / none so I thought maybe he doesn’t get affected by it. But I recently got some other catnip toys that he goes crazy for. So I think this stuff is not very strong.

I thought this was a spray to stop cats from scratching on furniture. The packaging looks the same and was disappointed when I received it. I put it on a scratching post, I got and the cats did not touch it until i put actual catnip on it.

I think its just a bottle of water. I tried to spray everything, including my cat. She has not even moved. I wonder if this is is just plain water? No reaction, not even a movement. I follow the directions. This does not work. I am about to shoot America funnies videos. My cat totally ignoring this! Are you sure this is not just a plain water? I wish I can upload the video.

I thought this product would be great because it is a spray and you don’t have to deal with actual catnip. My cats disagree. I spray it on the toy but all three of them will just sniff it and walk away. As usual, there is no cooperation from the cats.
