Very good product
Dog training

Jury is still out on this cat spray
The actual product box and bottle does not say whether this product might stain surfaces, but in the product writeup online it says it is non staining and non stinging.I sprayed 4 good sprays of the product on one side of a doubled paper towel and held it in front of one of my cat’s faces. He is a curious cat by nature, and he was curious about this sprayed paper towel. He gave it a good smell and seemed quite interested in it until I withdrew the paper towel. I was expecting him to pull his head away, but he didn’t seem to mind the spray at all.I ordered this spray for a particular problem. I have 4 fully trained housecats. They always use a doggie door to the back yard to do their business, so I’ve never needed a litter box in the house. Unfortunately, a couple of semi-feral cats who sometimes hang out in the back yard noticed that my tame cats were using the doggie door, so these 2 interlopers have started coming into my house when I’m out or asleep. (When I wake up and go into the living room or kitchen, they bolt like lightning out through the doggie door into the back yard.) While they are in the house they raid the indoor cats’ food dish and sometimes pee on pee pads I’ve laid down in a corner of the dining room, where they like to pee once or twice a week. (These outdoor cats have their own food/water always available in my garage, where I host about a dozen semi-tame and feral cats with beds, food, water, heat in winter, etc. There’s no good reason for them to come into my house at night. They just seem to like to make furtive visits to my house when I’m not awake.)I got this spray because I have 3 large houseplants grouped together in big pots in my living room. Occasionally I will find some of the potting soil displaced onto the living room carpet. I am guessing it’s the unwelcome overnight guests who might be digging up some of this soil, as one of those 2 cats is young, about 6 months old, and this seems like the kind of mischief a younger cat would do.Anyway, I put that saturated paper towel (with the PETS FORBIDDEN AREA SPRAY on it) around the base of these big pots and will see if it deters the cats from digging up soil in the future.I will note that the spray doesn’t really smell bad to me. It has almost a subtle perfume smell, even a lightly pleasant smell, to my nose.I will also say that the list of ingredients includes these 2 things that I don’t understand: “kazong CO-400” and “PHMB.” Never heard of these things. An online search reveals nothing about “kazong CO-400” but it does say “PHMB” is an antimicrobial preservative.Anyway, it’s odd that one of my housecats didn’t seem to mind at all the paper towel I sprayed with this product.I will keep applying this around the base of my potted plants and see if the nighttime burglar cats leave my potted plants alone from now on. If they still continue to dig up the potting soil, I will update this review.

Deters our cat for the most part
We got this to apply to our curtains to keep our cat from jumping up and climbing the curtains. It smells awful to the human nose, but works pretty well. It’s worth a shot!

Completely ineffective on my cats
I see a bunch of positive reviews, but this didn’t work at all with my cat. He’s been scratching our box springs. I sprayed this right where he scratches. He walked up, sniffed it, didn’t make a face or seem fazed at all, and went right to scratching. It did not appear he thought this spray was unpleasant in the least. I stopped him from scratching, and a minute later he was hanging out on the other side of the bed, directly next to the other corner of the box springs which I had just sprayed. In both cases, the spray was fresh, perhaps a minute or two since application. My cat couldn’t care less.
