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

I spent hundreds on sprays and what not to try to keep my cats off the counters. I understand cats do what cats do but one of my cats ended up poisoning himself by getting into places he shouldn’t. He is okay but he did struggle for a bit there. Since then, I want to keep him away from licking or eating things that will be bad for him since he doesn’t have it within himself to have some self control and stop eating the spatulas and licking the oil. Anyway, one try is what took and they stopped jumping on the counter. He jumped right off. He still sits in the kitchen and tries to figure out a way but this is waaay cheaper than the other methods I have tried

This is the only thing that will keep my cats off the stove and counter. Easy to use and store away when not using. At first your cats will likely jump up on them and realize they don’t like the feeling and won’t do it again. Well, that’s what mine did anyways. Except there was this one time one of my cats jumped up a second time when we weren’t home and knocked one on the floor. We got home and my husband walked into the kitchen without turning the light on and slipped on it and fell directly on top breaking a few of the spikes. User error lol aside from that, great product!

We have a new kitty at home, and as usual she’s a handful. We have certain areas and furniture we don’t want her to shred or access so we bought these mats.She’s not at the age where she get into areas by herself and is instead using the other furniture to help her curious needs. However she’s a smart cookie so she’s figuring out how to go around them. The mats are a bit small so she knows there are certain areas she can jump to to get around them, and she even knock them down to access certain areas. However they give you plenty of mats so you can use them without worry of needing more. When we first received them, they are packed together- so not as few. But they may be quite sharp, I don’t think they’ll injure your cat but might give them a sharp ouch! The mats don’t always cover the full seat so expect your cat to jump on the arms or around it (you might have to use two) But I’ll think you’ll be happy,

I only ordered these as a last resort after trying for 8 months to keep my new fur-baby kitty off of the counters and then working her way up to dangerous heights and places. So when I received these I placed several on the floor in front of her and I stepped on it and then yelled OW! It does hurt. Then I showed her me placing them around all over the counters with the edge of them showing (so she would know they are there) and I explained why I was using them to keep her off. I left the one on the floor for her to try which she did and quickly withdrew her foot. I later saw her trying to power her way through it unsuccessfully. She was still trying it the next day. She tried once jumping up but quickly rebounded off. She never acted injured afterward but now she no longer tries. However she still looks for the edges of them hanging over to show her they are still there. She has grown and is now about one inch short of touching the overhang which I believe she plans to try to pull down when I am out or sleeping. We will see. If she succeeds I will post my solution. Please be sure they understand you still love them. I bought mine some tunnels to play inside of. One in the kitchen and one in the living room which have helped to preoccupy her attention.

Works as intended. I have raised garden beds which the neighborhood ferals have turned into their large, personal litter box. I placed these on top of the soil as a "training tool." I only saw evidence of one attempt at entry, but it's been a week now and I hope they have decided to look elsewhere to "do their duty." I still catch them in the yard on our video cameras, but they are now avoiding the raised beds.Once I'm confident they are fully trained, I can begin planting again. My husband has also placed some on the ground next to our fence to discourage them coming over the fence. Seems to be working there also.

I absolutely love these mats. I have tried everything to keep 11mo cat off dining room table, nightstands and side tables. I've tried fake snakes, sprays, sticky tape and various other methods that people recommended. Nothing has worked. Finally gave in and let him have the sofa and chairs. These mats are perfect size. The spikes are probably uncomfortable for him but there won't hurt him. They are pretty tall but the tips aren't sharp (kind of blunt). I placed 1 in each corner of table & the 1st time he jumped up there was his last. He has not jumped up there in 2 days. I even put some on the spare bed and he has not jumped up there either. I feel like my life is back in order now that he is not knocking over stuff. I will be purchasing again so I can place some outside to keep the stray animals off my stuff outside.
