12 Pack Scat Mat for Cats - 16 x 13 Inch Cat Spike Mat with 1 Inch Spike is A Perfect Pet Training Mat Device for Cat Repellent Indoor & Outdoor to Deter Cats & Other Animals for All Seasons

Seems to work a treat. We got clear ones and have put them on the couch to deter our cats, that enjoy leaving their hairball "treats" all over the said couch. Seems to work really well as they now stay off the couch and with these being transparent, they are not as noticeable to be a complete eye-sore, especially with a patterned throw under them. They don' hurt cats as the spikes even though sharp, are not skin piercing sharp and the plastic is very thin and will buckle easily with heavier load, as proven by me stepping on these in the middle of the night. The only caveat is that they are very light, so the cats can potentially just bump them off, but you can interlock them together by placing the edge spikes of one sheet on top of the other, locking them with the spikes. With larger area sheets like that, it is harder for cats to move them off the couch.

Finally...I found a product that stopped my cat from destroying my plants! Only took one step on this mat and now won't go near my plants!!!! They're safe enough they won't harm your cat, but spikey enough to be very uncomfortable in paws. I have expensive palms and money tree that my cat has mauled, I was about to just go plant free, but someone suggested these mats and finally my cat and my plants can coexist. I highly recommend! Plus, they're a good size and easy to cut to shape any area. I'm very happy!

Ok so they work pretty well, you can cut to size and all but, sheesh this spikes are big. I was expecting like a computer chair mat for carpets with more spikes, these things are about 1½" long. Out door garden use would be better, or at least show your pet before you set em out.

These worked great for cats AND squirrels! Two tips. 1) If you trim along the edges of each sheet where you would like to lay them, you can perfectly link multiple sheets together just by overlapping a few rows of spikes. This makes it one interlocked long sheet that won't slide as much and there won't be any gaps (and easier to setup and take down than the built in link edge). 2) Squirrels used to devour the seed from my bird feeders, but these can be made to be a perfect squirrel deterrent. - Trim an edge as mentioned before and cut the sheet in half - Roll each half sheet into a tube by interlocking two rows of spikes and temporarily holding the tube with small spring clamps - Zip tie the tubes to hold them permanently and then slide them onto the poles. They are just pointy and unstable enough that the squirrels just wait for the birds to be sloppy and knock seeds down.

Let me preface this review with I have an orange cat. If you don’t know what that means they are usually a total menace. He hates these deterrent mats but he just bites the corners and drags them out the way. I hooked them together and he still drags them off the couch. My other cat won’t go anywhere near them until the menace solves the problem. The design is good and they do work for your average non-diabolical cat. But again I have an orange male. I accidentally stepped on one he dragged off the couch and it hurt but didn’t puncture my skin so they are safe. I’m currently weighing down the mats and it has foiled his plans but he will probably work it out eventually. Great idea and design but just a mere annoyance to the smarty cat that won’t take no for an answer.

My cat has a bad habit of sitting on a side table and knocking pictures off the wall to get my attention. I’m absolutely sick of hopping up to make him stop. It took one time of stepping on the mat for him to get the message. I use it for a while then can remove it after he has changed his behavior. It’s very effective! He also loves knocking over my plants! I put down a mat so he can’t reach them and he knows immediately he can’t walk there.

We placed these on the counter tops and tables after finding poop smears on them. The spikes worked great for awhile, until one of my cats gained enough courage to walk on them and eat my flowers.

These will keep everything off your furniture!! Easy to pick up and put back down. My animals do not go on the furniture any more!

I put these on top of a shag rug that my cat was doing his business on… He is smart enough to know that he should not walk on them and has returned to doing his business in the litter box. I will leave them out a while longer nonetheless because they are clear and don’t look horrific. I have a multi cat household, and they are all smart enough to not hurt themselves on the mats. Their curiosity was piqued, and they touched them with their paws, but did not make any attempt to walk on them. Me, on the other hand, I accidentally stepped on one, and I nearly did a 360 in the air… Lol.

My cat climbs right on these so it definitely wasn’t what I was looking for :( and the adhesive stickers are super weak so they moved easily and often

Works for cats. I’ve used it on dining chairs, tables, etc. They don’t dare to jump. 😊

Pas très efficace

We set these up to block the babies room from cats that want to yodel the baby awake. Normally, the cats cock-a-doodle-doo at 3am. But this night was different. At 12am, the cats were bulldozing these mats all around the house. I woke up to crazy eyes and perked whiskers shoving these mats everywhere! We tried for a week. Because they're clear, humans suffer the most when attempting to cross. They are invisible!! Nobody was spared. Nope. Returning these cat toys and human torture devices
