HomardenCat Scat Mat 6 Pack - 19x5 Inch Spike Mats with 1 Inch Plastic Spikes - Cat and Dog Deterrent for Indoor or Outdoor Use - Anti-Dig and Anti-Scratch Mat for Garden, Furniture, and Yard

Un experimento caro para que no sirviera, los gatos de todos modos lo pisan, solo que tardan más en pasar pero no los detiene en nada, no fue la solución

Ok. So they don't exactly work for my cat. So why 5 stars? Because I can see why they would work with any other cat. Just not my cat. I put them on the stairs to keep her from going up there and pulling her bullsh*t sneak attacks on my nice sweet cat. The mats did a great job of stabbing me in the foot as I tried to gingerly balance on the edges of the stairs and go past them. I showed them to her and smugly told her "your days of going upstairs are over!!" My evil cat though, she just looked at them and I saw the "challenge accepted" on her face.I found her upstairs an hour later. The mats were not moved. 😒I moved the mats to the top of the stair railing she jumps over to get up there (theres a baby gate). I then told her with high confidence...nay arrogance, "go ahead, jump up here now. You're gonna get stabbed on your feet and regret that sh*t. You won't be doing this anymore. "I found the mats on the floor and the cat upstairs that afternoon when I got home from work. 😒But, if you need to stop normal cats. Cats that don't feel the need to do crap just to do it or to prove themselves superior to you, they would work just fine.

Bought to keep a raccoon from coming on my deck nightly to relieve his bowels. First night I installed them, you can see from the video that he didn’t really care much about them. Walked right over them like it was nothing at all. Have the video of him coming down after evacuating his intestines on my deck, and again he didn’t care. Just walked right on top of them.

I don't even know exactly how I ended up buying these, but basically I was looking for something to keep the dogs from getting on the couch because they like to dig, particularly my dachsund. I just put these along the edges when I leave the house or when no one is sitting, and I interlock the pieces like a puzzle. So far, I don't even have a single strand of fur on the couches. They avoid them. I've tried other matts, and I'm not a fan of the whole, shock-your-pet thing, so this has been a super easy solution for us.

I SET THEM DOWN, AND LISTEN FOR THE "THUMP" AS A SURPRISED CAT QUICKLY JUMPS OFF THE COUNTER, UPON CONTACT WITH THESE STRIPS! (OCCASIONAL MEOW...) I HAVE 5 CATS 24/7 AND 7 CATS OVERNIGHT THAT ARE BEING 'RETRAINED' BY USE OF THESE STRIPS. I'VE TRIED ALARMS AND ALUMINUM FOIL, BUT THESE STRIPS COMBINED WITH THE ALARMS SEEM TO BE THE TRICK THAT IS BEING THE MOST EFFECTIVE. VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY BY THE 3RD MORNING "REVEAL". I BOUGHT 3 BOXES OF THEM TO LAY ALL OVER THE HOUSE. ONLY NEGATIVE IS THAT THERE ARE LITTLE SLIP HOLE TABS FOR CONNECTING THE STRIPS, AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC IS NOT FINELY MOLDED, SO I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A TWEEZERS TO THEM TO MAKE THE "PEG" PART SMOOTHER FOR SLIPPING INTO THE "RING". 100% SATISFIED!
