Harbor's Cat Repellent and Trainer - 4 oz

This worked great for me. I have 2 cats that climb my Christmas tree, knock it over, and chew the wires from the light strands. I used this and after 3 days they stopped messing with the tree completely. I’m very happy. I have ordered 2 bottles, one for Christmas 2019 and one for 2020. At $20 a bottle it is not cheap. But I only get it once a year and it’s worth not having them mess up the tree everyday. It comes with 2 nozzles, a pump action and a trigger action. I use a generous amount so the trigger action is better. The trigger nozzle came with a piece installed that prevented it from working. It would make sense if that nozzle came installed on the bottle and you didn’t want it to spray accidentally in transit, but it came on the side with the pump nozzle installed on the bottle. I only bring this up because it took me 10 minutes of fiddling with it to figure out a piece had to be removed for the trigger nozzle to work. There were no instructions and it was not obvious. I feel like if I didn’t have an engineering background I wouldn’t have figured it out. Pretty sure 90% of the people will think the nozzle is broken and throw it away. Instructions would be helpful for sure. The piece is horizontally installed behind the trigger. It keeps the trigger from moving. It comes apart in 2 pieces. I used the pump last year and it takes longer to spray down the whole tree. The trigger is so much better. Like I mentioned before, I spray a generous amount. Use almost an entire bottle during Christmas, 2x daily. The smell is so very strong tho. It’s not bad, but over powering. Takes a good 30 minutes to go away. But like I said, I spray a lot. The first couple days the cats still messed with the tree when I first start spraying, but after 3 days of 2x a day heavy spraying they leave it alone completely. I recommend it, at least for protecting a Christmas tree. Probably works for other stuff too. Just don’t spray the tree when the family is planning to chill around it. Wait until everyone is out of the room or folks my complain.

I had high hopes and they were quickly deflated. The scent is nice, however it does nothing to repel the kittens. I'm pretty sure the kittens laugh as I spray it, then continue to jump on the counter. The pump stopped working on day 2. So now I'm stuck with a broken pumper and a bottle of spray that does nothing. Extremely disappointed. I really wanted this product to work. *** Updated: Mark reached out to me about my order. He replaced the broken pump and sent a new bottle. He was in constant contact with me about my order & when the new items would arrive. I greatly appreciate the fact that he took time to reach out & fix the issues I was having. Although it's still not deterring my kittens, I really like how it smells. The kittens are learning that when they see the bottle, they need to jump down off the counters. So, in a way, it is working I guess. It was a pleasure working with Mark through this. He really was helpful & never rude. It's nice to see a company stand behind their products.

First off, I need to say that my 2 little rugrats are extremely curious, and tenacious. Although I followed the directions for over a week, this had no effect at all. The scent did not bother them at all. This may work for the average feline, I don't know. The Bengal breed is very different in most instances for the normal domestic cat. I would not recommend this for Bengal owners. Personally, I found the scent appealing. Ot fod not stain the natural wood walls of my house, or any other areas of my home. The product was delivered quickly, and intact. In the end, I ended up just training them with the old fashioned positive reward system, and making absolutely sure they always had a positive way to exspend their energy , which is usually the reason for misbehaviour from any kitten, or cat. There is no substitute for attention.

This has really helped my cat stay away and doesn't scratch he has been scratching. The smell is not as strong as others I have used before. I used it for about a week twice a day and now I just use it every 3-4 days to remind my cat not to get near it. The one thing I did not like is that the spray doesn't really work. It leaks everywhere and it doesn't really spray well it just drips. I have to click the spray more often than I should audit goes everywhere. It waste more than it should but I am not mad since it actually works.

The scent isn’t bad or strong to me. Cats don’t seem to like it but it fades fast. I know you are supposed to spray 3 times a day for 7 days, but even then the cats still go back. Not enough product for price and the spray part stopped working on second day. Switched it to a new bottle and that sprayer stopped working. Put it back in original bottle and can get one spray maybe but the product squirts out all over my hand instead of spraying. Very frustrating to use. I really wanted to like this because I don’t use toxic chemicals in my home. Unfortunately, I will have to find something else now.

This is the best cat repellent I have ever used. Cats were using a carpeted hallway as their dumping ground, both liquid and solid. I tried cleaning the carpet and putting out pads for them to use but often they would find an area without a pad and go there. I started spraying the area three times a day and noticed a dramatic reduction. I'm now treating in the morning and evening. Incidents are now rare but I continue treating with the belief that the cats will become fully trained and my problem will be eliminated. The product has a very pleasant smell to humans but apparently not to cats. I had one concern I communicated to the manufacturer. After a few days the spray bottle would stop working. I received a prompt and overwhelming response. Acknowledging others had reported the same problem they determined the spray mixture was too thick causing plugging of the spray bottle. They sent me two spray nozzles to replace the ones I had problems with and sent me two larger 8 oz spray bottles with a thinner carrier containing the same active ingredient. I have had no problems with these new bottles. The people in this organization are top notch.

Compre dos frascos y no funcionó mi gato siguió rasguñando los muebles y orinandolos, cuando se terminó el primer frasco supuse que no era suficiente y compre otro más pero ya agoté la mitad del segundo frasco t no funcionó nada.

I rarely write reviews, but I am absolutely shocked and genuinely delighted by this cat scratch repellant. I feel like I've tried every single product on the market over the years—sprays, sticky tape, deterrent mats, aluminum foil—and nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever worked consistently. My cats have always found a way around or simply ignored the supposed deterrents. This product is a complete game-changer. My main issue at this time of year is always protecting our 15ft Christmas tree. Last year, it was a disaster with my two cats treating it like a personal jungle gym. As soon as I set the tree up this holiday season, I followed the directions and sprayed a light coating of this repellant on the floor around the base of the stand and on the lower branches. The results? Immediate and total success. My cats haven't even sniffed the tree, let alone tried to climb it. They don't even seem interested in paying attention to it at all! It's an absolute miracle. I was fully expecting to find them perched on a branch, but this spray has completely blocked their curiosity. If you have stubborn cats and are skeptical like I was, please give this a try. It is the first and only cat repellant I have ever used that delivered on its promise. Highest possible recommendation!

I haven't seen any improvement in the behaviour of my cats even after spraying and using for a month!

Did not work in the slightest on either of my two cats despite applying the product very generously to the desired areas. Whether it was applied to a small bathroom carpet, chair, or door entrance, my cats did not seem deterred whatsoever.

Ne fonctionne pas vraiment.
