Review: Love this Cat Scat Mat!!! Discourages my Baby from getting on my couch!!! - All my babies are now big doggies!!! I have a bad habit of letting them get on the couch with me when they are little, but I have always been able to keep them off my couch once they got bigger!!! My biggest fella is close to 80lbs, and has weighed more than that at times!!! Unfortunately, my last rescue babie has refused to be detoured!!! I was able to keep her off for a while, and then she started all over again to get on my couch!!! It is very important nowadays that she stay off my couch because now I sleep on my couch!!! And her getting on my couch wouldn't be such a big deal, except that when I forget and yell at her to get down, she pees on my bed. Being a rescue, she obviously needs more love and attention than other dogs do!!! And I try NOT to yell at her at all, except when she gets out of the fence, and at that point, I am calling her name looking for her instead of yelling at her. When she does get on my couch, she likes to stick her nose in my big mug of iced tea!!! And she has actually drank some of it, and either vomited it up or spat it out on my couch!!! Before now, all my other babies have gotten down when I told them to get down without peeing, or vomiting on the couch. So, to keep my bed from being peed on, vomited on, or spilled on by my youngest and most determined babie girl puppy doggie, I bought this Cat Scat Mat!!! It works!!! I put the one strip down the middle!!! And at 1st she stayed off of my bed!!! Then she decided to sit on one side of it!!! Unfortunately when I made her get off, she peed on my couch, AGAIN!!! Anyway, I took the extra piece and put it on the one side, and she is staying off my couch as of now!!! So, I am PLEASED!!! Today, she paused looked at the Scat mat lying on top of my bed/couch, and turned and walked on by!!! Hooray!!! I am definitely winning the battle!!! Obviously, when I get my bedroom repaired, I will keep the door closed, but til then, these mats are doing a great job!!! I bought some more mats to put outside in my large pot to keep the neighbor's cats from using it as a place to potty!!! I sure hope they work as well as this has. Thank you to whoever invented these mats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: So far so good! - We have been having a feral cat prey upon songbirds at our feeder when we put seed out and along our seat wall. I tried a metal trap I bought but after no luck with that I looked into deterrence. These scat mats, so far, have been great! They cut easily with scissors and one can maneuver them around to where they need to be. We placed them in the hiding spots where we have seen the cat and also moved one of our Arlo cameras over to keep an eye on their effectiveness. We have seen the cat at night and in the mornings walk on the brick ledge around the mats and I recently bought another mat to put up on the brick to eliminate that path choice. We have not seen the cat kill any birds since we put them down and we have not seen the cat walking or sitting on the mats so it seems indeed, it does not like the prongs. Our dogs stepped on it once and have not repeated the mistake. Really pleased...would recommend if you have a similar problem or want to keep a cat or dog off an area. **Update 5/11/2020**: It has been 3 months now since we have installed these scat mats and we are 100% satisfied. We have not had one bird killed by the feral cat since we put them down. More so, we have seen the cat less and less on our Arlo camera and it seems it has lost interest in our yard (knock on wood) by eliminating it's kill spots. That was my goal, to force the cat to sit in a more visible spot, so the birds could see the cat and wait to feed until the threat was gone. Unfortunately we have seen the cat prowling the neighborhood so sadly it is likely finding birds or other small animals elsewhere...but at least these scat mats have returned our yard to a safe haven.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t have dirt all over my dining room so I’m happy.
*by A***L on October 8, 2019*

I bought this to protect the potted plants I winter over inside. I quickly learned that my young cat loves to dig. This product was easy to cut around the roots. The spikes intended to hold down the netting are far too short to serve that purpose against a determined cat. He quickly learned how to pull the netting off. Since it comes in a roll, it tends to roll up when in use. That being said, I didn’t spend time trying to flatten it before use. It’s now doing the trick with some small rocks holding it down. The spikes definitely work to deter animals from jumping onto it. Overall easy to use and effective. Agree with other reviewers that it may be overpriced given the modifications to make it effective.
