10-Pack of 16" x 13" Homarden Scat Mats for Cat Training

Maya and Vince Pack: Disclaimer - this was purchased to keep a small pooper, I mean dog, out of specific areas at night. I can’t report cat effectiveness. Even though the plastic feels like it should be resilient, the spikes will break off if accidentally stepped on. And, my personal opinion is that they aren’t particularly pleasant when stepped on, but not lethal.

Millzerz: I rage ordered these mats after getting sick of a neighbor cat ripping up my newly planted petunias and destroying other areas in my yard. The mats work great! The plastic spines are sturdy and very effective in keeping the cats out. You can customize the mats by cutting them to fit your desired area. I highly recommend this product and will purchase again if need be.

C. C.: Do you have a big pot that has become a new lay spot crushing the plants or an alternate litter box? Get these and that stops immediately!

If you don't like the spikey look, bury them so a little bit of the points stick up. There's no avoiding them and they instantly get the message, "This is off limits!"

Kenk: I like it. But it only prevent my small cat, not those stray cats that i wish them not to come. They still come and killed my doves. And they even step onto and jump right into that mats.

Amazon Customer: Next spring I plan to use these mats to keep cats out of my flower beds. I'm not sure what I am going to use to keep them in place. Any suggestions??

Eric SEric S: I am a fan of the Cat Scat Mat, but only for Vertical surfaces (like a tree trunk going straight up). After some initial hesitation, our cat would walk on top of the mat (see picture) when on a horizontal, or even diagonal surface. However, we put it on a vertical tree trunk and it remains effective and keeps him from going up.

I gave it 4 stars (instead of 5) because the pictures show it on a horizontal surface and it simply doesn't work for that. If it were advertised as a vertical surface only, I'd give it 5 stars.

Also note that the material is fairly brittle, so you need to be careful to not break it when installing. The mats have a round loop on some sides and a corresponding peg on the other sides (so that the mats can be connected). These are really flimsy and come apart or break easily. Instead of using them, I used small cable ties which is very effective. I highly recommend using cable ties to connect the mats together and to themselves (like around a tree).

Flavio: Non pensavo ma dopo tanti tentativi con repellenti ed altro ho provato questo ed è riuscito perfettamente, l’ho posizionato nel terreno e non ho più visto gatti.

Jonas: An sich Super, hatten damit eine Fläche unter dem Weihnachtsbaum auagelegt, was die Katzen abgehalten hat diesen zu malträtieren. Einziger Minuspunkt ist, dass die Steckverbindungen oft einen Gratkante haben und sich nur sehr schwer bis gar nicht zusammenstecken lassen. Wenn man die Matten jedoch minimal überlappen lässt hält es auch recht gut.

Sman: Bought these to deter cats from using my lawn as a communal latrine. They're not 100% effective - cats will always find a way around them but, it has been successful in changing their behaviour. In combination with sonic cat scarer, they no longer consider my lawn worth the effort and go elsewhere.

Manuel Cueva: 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.
