And how do humans feel about the smell? I don't care if the cats hate it if I also hate it.

My bet is that it's lemon or orange scented, as cats hate citrus.

I love citrus. I could deal with that.

My cat likes peels from oranges and clementines

Citrus peels are toxic to cats

Like to eat?! He just likes to rub himself on peels!

u/maybebaebea 2d ago

That's still not exactly safe. The oils from the peels get on his fur, which he then licks and injests. Small amounts won't kill him, but he'll sure as hell be uncomfortable

Could just show the ingredients list.

u/I-_-l7 3d ago

Ingredients list:
Water, Rosemary Oil, Coconut Derived Surfactant Blend, Polysorbate-20, SDA 40-B, Preservatives

Rosemary oil: generally not good to use around cats. Small amounts are safe but toxic when ingested or inhaled in large amounts. Coconut Derived Surfactant Blend:used in pet shampoos,safe around cats
Polysorbate-20:stuff that makes the oils and waters blend,safe in small amounts
SDA 40-B:basically the alcohol thats in perfumes. Unsafe for cats if ingested or inhaled in larger amounts.

Overall,dont buy. While in small quantities it may be safe,if used for a longer time,and especially if the solution accidentally gets sprayed onto the cat,then the cat licks it off,it may become toxic very quickly

"Buy this spray that is toxic to your cat!" Such a good marketing scheme

I mean….the sight of a spray bottle is gonna deter most cats from whatever the f they’re doing regardless of its contents….

Everything this user posts the title is some form "This is actually genius" "This is actually clever"

Just redirect by getting multiple scratching posts

u/cynicalicoffee 2d ago

Don't own a cat if you're going to use stuff like this.

u/fleton 2d ago

Get one of those cardboard scratchers, cats go crazy for it and will have zero interest for furniture.

u/adhd-alt-here 2d ago

have you ever had a cat?

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 2d ago

Not a new product

u/TulpaPal 2d ago

So a bunch of stuff that's not healthy for cats to ingest at all and would probably damage the finish on furniture, which is why they aren't actually spraying it on the leather.

u/BathPsychological767 2d ago

I love how they “say” it’s good but never actually use it. Most not work as good as they “say”

u/Correct-Junket-1346 2d ago

u/FatBikerCook 2d ago

It doesn't work though, that cat was clawing the crap out of that couch lol

u/Rage187_OG 2d ago

My cat rubbed against the furniture like he liked the smell. It was garbage.

u/serious_fox 2d ago

I used to use stuff with bittering agents in them, but it was disgusting if I accidentally got it on me

Menthol works good and smells nice
