We have an 8 month old kitten who has gotten into her mischievous stage and she also tries to eat everything. So, we bought these to keep her off the kitchen counters, esp because we can’t always put everything away and we don’t want her going near the hot stove or sharp utensils.Unfortunately she has figured out she can stretch up to the counter and pull them off with her mouth. Then they fall on the ground and pieces break off and it becomes a hazard because she tries to eat or chew the pieces.So unless you have a way of securing them, or have a cat that isn’t very smart, these will likely not work very well.We kept the non broken ones, hopefully we can use them for another purpose later.

This will stop critters from entering my yard through the slim opening in the fences that border our two neighbors. It isn't my property but all the local wild animals seem to think so and take it as a short cut. I started using these in the opening and haven't had a single critter so far entering my yard. They are with their weight in gold, until now I couldn't find anything that worked. These were not expensive and I had just enough grids to block the space. I'm so happy with this purchase, I told my friend about it because he has a skunk problem. She bought them, put them in place and so far for a week she hasn't had a problem. I think it's a wonderful, non-harming way to keep critters out of our gardens.

We had a problem with our cats jumping up on our futon and peeing on it. Already had to replace one futon mattress so we got these and they are amazing. They keep the cats off and they fit together easily. We have them in sections so our son can easily remove just a few and sit while not havig to remove all of them. It's a cheaper and better alternative to any of the other deterrents I have tried.

These were the first mats I bought to keep my cats away from my bird cages. They are fairly sturdy plastic but also flexible. They are not solid so air circulates which I like. This feature also makes them stay in place as opposed to competitors product (the second set I bought) which is very thin plastic and smooth, slippery backing so doesn't stay in place well. They don't hurt the cats and are much better than chemical spray deterrents whether natural or not as sprays wear off and birds can't handle some scents. Definitely a product that should stay available.

THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY SAID AND SO FAR HAVE WORKED.

So I bought these in a desperate way to keep stray cats from jumping and sleeping on the roof of my brand new car, as one already scratched the gas flap. Initially I tried using a heavy duty cover, but cats either puked or peed on it, it was nasty.So far I'm pleased that I don't see cats laying on top of my car and haven't noticed any paw prints on the car since I started using them the way pictures show.Not very convenient to use them as I do (if I'm running late for something) as I put ten of these all over my car.I'm not sure if these will actually work for ground, so far I'm pleasedBefore these I bought a solar device that supposedly kept animals away, but I encountered one of the stray cats laying a few feet away from the device. I took the device and pointed it right where the cat was, which didn't seem interested at all in running away from the thing.

Our fussy 1.5 year old ragdoll male cat was being trained for a whileFirst he did not like to type of cat litter - so he peed on the kitchen and bathroom tilesThese scat mats placed strategically - gradually trained him to pee in one of two large litter boxes.Yes - two - he pees in one & poos in the other. We use clay and clean it daily. All is now well thanks to these scat mats...

Very well made, but a little expensive as I need more than ten, but can't really afford it. Hoping it keeps the cats from messing on my lawn ... I've tried everything else on the market!

Dobry produkt - skutecznie zniechęca mojego kota na wskakiwanie na krzesła.

Después de muchos años decidí poner pasto en el jardín y mis perritas felices, al poco tiempo decidieron hacer pozos por todos lados, así que opté por comprar este producto. Muy fácil de instalar, me gustó que los piquitos no lastiman sus patitas solo les es incomodo tocarlos y dejan en paz la zona donde los coloqué, al poco tiempo recuperé mi jardín. El único problema es que son algo frágiles y si los pisas se rompen con facilidad, fuera de eso estoy contento con el producto y mi jardín también.

UPDATE: I just put one of the mats on top of the frig to keep the cat from using that as a "stair step" to the top of my upper kitchen cabinets, where I display my vintage cookie jars. It was only a matter of time before he caused a disaster up there, but no more worries about that! I was also able to bring my Shefflera plant in from the garage where it's been since the cat showed up....those are toxic to cats, and he would NOT leave it alone. Now, I put two mats together, put the large plant on top, and he just sits and looks, as if wondering who's dumb idea it was to bring these things into our lives? I'll be ordering another package!ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought these to put on top of my 24" X 48" aquarium that has a hinged, screen cover framed in lightweight aluminum and houses my 3 yr old Axolotl (Mexican) Salamander, Lilla, (love her to pieces!). A few months ago, we got a kitten....or he got us, wandered into our rural farm place.....and, of course, he soon noticed Lilla and was on top of the tank every chance he got. I tried a cat deterrent auto spray can that quit working almost immediately and a carpet runner I had on hand, turned upside down so that the little "stay-in-place" grab-spikes were facing up. That KIND OF discouraged him, but not on those days when he was very determined and sassy. He'd just "grin and bear it" and there he'd be, seeming to taunt both me and Lilla! They also blocked all the light and air from the top and were butt-ugly. I found these mats on Amazon and ordered this particular pkg vs a roll because the squares seemed like they'd be easier to handle (and they are very easy to use) and they were a good buy for the money. I'd also have extras to use in other places where I want to keep animals away.To cover the top of the aquarium, I used three full mats plus three others cut down to a smaller size (easy to do), 6 total mats, connected by the little hook and holes that are on all 4 sides of each mat (2 on each side). These mats solved my problem 100%, PERFECTLY! One time up, just as quickly off, and all salamander watching is now done from the floor! Not only that, the mats are custom-sized to the screen top and the black color of the mats looks nice with the black trimmed aquarium and screen cover, so they actually look nice.....well, they aren't ugly, anyway. They are VERY light weight, so no need to worry about them being too heavy for the screen, and I can see through them, down into the tank, which I couldn't with the "clear" carpet runner that wasn't actually clear. They work so well, we can leave the cat in the house unchaperoned, which we never dared do before.I docked one star because the little connectors are very fragile and break off very easily. Several of the squares came with at least one torn off and I lost a couple more just taking the squares apart. (They come stacked.) Of course, the squares can be connected with zip ties or twist ties, it's just more convenient to use the attached connectors if they don't rip off.
