Homarden Black Scat Mat for Cats - 13ft x 11" Plastic Cat Deterrent with Spikes and 12 Garden Staples - Indoor and Outdoor Mat to Protect Furniture and Gardens

I bought this mat to keep squirrels from climbing my bird feeder poles. The squirrels would pull down my bird feeders and break them. I bought this mat hoping it would stop the desrtruction of my bird feeders. I wrapped the mat around the poles and tree branches and I even made a wall with the mat, but this mat did not stop squirrels. Squirrles are used to sharp tree branches so the spikes do not bother them. The squirrels walked over the spikes without any problems. The mat did not work with squirrels, but for our neighbor's cat it is keeping it out of our yard for now. Our neighbor's very large kitty would jump our vinyl fence and jump into our yard to get to the wild birds eating at our bird feeders. The cat would come into our yard early in the morning and sit quietly under plants. I worried it might get one of the birds. So I laid the cat scat mat over the top of the ground where the neighbor's cat jumps into our yard. I woke up early one morning and I heard the cat jumping our fence to get out of our yard. I'm not sure if it actually jumped on the spikes or if the cat saw the spikes from the top of our fence. A few days later, I heard it jump on top of our fence again, but this time it did not jump into our yard. It must have seen the mat was still in place. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will stop the kitty coming into our yard. It didn't work for squirrels but it seems to be working with our neighbor's cat. For the squirrels I'm looking around Amazon for something else.

good stuff help keep the cats out weight was perfect

I bought the Homarden Black Cat Mat to keep my cat from chewing on my plants, and it has worked amazingly well. I wrapped the mat around the base of my plants, and my cat hasn’t gone near them since. The material is flexible enough to shape how you need it, but sturdy enough to actually deter curious paws.

Works well to keep neighbors cats from using my garden as a litter box!

Quite expensive. Wish I had gotten more for my money. I wanted in my flower garden but it cost me 64.00 for 4 packages. which really didn't cover much space at all. I would have to spend at least a 1000. dollars if not more to over the area .There alot of cats that like to use my flower beds as a liter boxes. Mind u the beds do have lots of flowers and I am only trying to over the open areas.. .so I do not need to full coverage.

My daughter requested this item and she has used it on her fence along the bottom to deter her GSP from digging holes, but also midway on the fence—-about where his feet would hit if he was trying to scale their 6 ft fence! She cut pieces of it and placed it in his high traffic areas. So far it is working as she’d hoped!

I cut this smaller for my flower pots so the squirrels don't dig in the,

This roll of cat scat mat works really well in my garden to keep the neighbors cat out. It was easy to install. Simply position starting point, anchor with two landscape/garden staples, roll out to cover desired area, anchor end point, and cut with scissors. Ten landscape/garden staples was not enough to complete the installation I was doing because as I was dividing this roll into four different sections. If you are doing a single installation with this 13’ roll or dividing it in two, ten landscape/garden staples may be enough for you.

After my 6 year old housecat escaped he was a completely different cat on his return. He has always been a territorial cat where if you leave the bed unattended or anything material on the sofa he will strike. However he started to target the sofa x3 times a day without anything on it. It being a leather sofa it was difficult to clean and we spent so much money on enzyme cleaners etc and even a hydrophobic throw to discourage him. We were going to ban him from the living room altogether but decided to buy these spikes which had mixed reviews. In the spot he was targeting I cut the strip in two and placed half on back of the sofa and the other portrait on the bottom with a puppy pad underneath. I also placed a shallow tray with a puppy pad in it at first on the sofa but have been gradually moving this further away. Anyway it's been over 2 weeks now and he has not soiled the sofa. I don't like how the spikes look amd don't want to come across as mean mother but this is the only thing that has worked and they have not injured themselves on them. So if you are at the end of your tether seriously give these a go. *Update. After a month or so I've been able to remove the spikes, he doesn't pee anymore where he shouldn't!

Articles pourrait etre utiles pour certains situation comme dans pot de fleurs...etc. J'ai essayé sur le clôture que mon chat ne passe pas dans le jardins à côté et aussi au sol pour protéger une partie de jardin avec les fleurs. Ça n'a pas marché dans deux cas. Mes chats sont tourné l'article en jouet et un de mes chats dors dessus quand il fait soleil 😀

Bought cause was suppose to keep squire away.

A very helpful deterrent to add to our other sonic deterrent. In the beginning, the Tom cat reduced the amount of deposits it made where we placed it. However, now Autumn is approaching we need to keep removing leaves blown onto the spiked matting. The leaves cover the spikes and can create a wonderful leaf cushion for the Tom cat to relieve himself on.
