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.
