How does this affect my pets that go outside with me? I purchased this due to other cats that are defecating in my yard and bothering my inside pets?

I no longer have any pets, my dog passed away. But my neighbor brings his dog over and it does not seem to bother him. I have the device in my carport aimed at the hood of my car that was formerly used by a cat (cats) and so far it is working. It only turns on when it detects motion in front of it so it should not affect nearby pets.

This device does not work AT ALL. It does not work with cats. The feral cats visiting my yard literally sit on top of them (I bought two)and wait for the birds. Since it does not work on cats it will most likely not affect your pets at all.

Not sure about your pets but I bought 1 for the same reason you did and it just plain does not work.

I have 6 cats..so once a spot was marked. ..most cats reacted. Therefore I had to treat more often...its a great product if you have a cat or two...if you have more....I'm afraid it's an ongoing battle

It seems that it might work in getting cats to scratch where you want them to. I have a carpet tower that three cats over the years have totally ignored. Now I've figured out how to find out if it works. I'll apply it to the tower!p.s. you might want to wait until this goes down in price or got to a vet office. Mine is selling these in single packets for a total of $1 each, including taxes, so the Amazon price isn't good now. I'll use single packs to see how it works and then consider the cost of other options. My cat has a vet visit in two weeks so I'll want one then.

Hi Stacy. Any updates on your little guy with this potty? My cat is the same way, and I'm thinking about getting one of the grass potty for her.

You need to see your veterinarian. Both of my cats are rescues. My male was doing the same - stool was extremely hard and dry. Urinated in box, pooped outside.X-ray showed stool backed all the way up. He is now on medication and pooping in the box most of the time. If he poops outside the box it's because it hurts and I increase his dosage. Your cats are probably identifyting pain defecating with the litter box. I'd rule out physical probs first than take it from there. The feliway helps calm my male from freaking out so much from being medicated directly to mouth. I now give smaller quantities in food several times a day and I have a triple fish emulsion compounded by a pharmacy. Good Luck! You need to see your veterinarian. Both of my cats are rescues.

The leaves are harmless to the cats. Never shoo them away, cause they can't tell the difference of you trying to get them away from the leaves and from the box itself. They could stop using it all together. You should change the leaves into something that your cats don't like, or just deal with them playing with it. After all, it is their litter box!

I have 6 indoor/outdoor cats in my house right now (I foster kitties) so trust me when I say, yes, it's GREAT for flea control! If it weren't for this vacuum, I would not be able to let the cats outside, or I'd probably have to flea bomb on a regular basis. Fleas never seem to be an issue, and it's great that you can easily empty the container into a plastic bag, right after you vacuum.

I'm not sure, do you have more than one cat if so do you have more than one box? How often are you cleaning the box? Some cats don't/won't use a litter box that has anything in it which means cleaning it after every visit.Did you bring in another cat and she is acting out? It could also be a health issue, bladder infection maybe? Have you tried moving the box to a different location?

I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors. My pets have walked on the carpeting almost immediately and I have seen no ill effects from that. Hope this works for you! I sprayed twice so far this year, only because the carpeting was cleaned about a month after I initially sprayed. No fleas. And the best is that I have NOT used any flea treatments on 3 cats and a dog. The dog and 2 of the cats go outside everyday, and either we aren't having a bad flea season which is really hard to believe, or if they have any, whatever is residual in the house, is killing the insects. I love this product. Good luck at your house with it! I don't spray my counters etc. I usually just spray the flooring, around the windows and exterior doors.

Most likely the Feliway would help, but it does take time & may not completely stop the problem. It sounds like it is a stress issue with the other cat coming within view of your cat. I would suggest trying things that would keep your cat both active & occupied. For example, if you only have one cat, add another! They entertain each other & are company for each other when left alone. Try a water fountain, allot of cats, (not ours) love them. A cat scratcher/lounge is great too. Play with her for at least 15 minutes 2x a day. You may also need to think about changing litter and/or litter boxes. One of our cats that is 10 has been diagnosed with FLUTD, (Feline Lower Urinary Track Disease). Using cat attract litter & those jumbo storage containers for long rolls or wrapping paper has made a world of difference. There was microscopic blood in his urine. He started urinating just outside the box when our 18 & 1/2 year old cat passed away in Nov. It was a stress issue causing a medical issue & these are things that our vet recommended & it worked. We have since adopted another kitten at vets recommendation & I can see our 10 yr. old playing more now. You want to use litter that is NOT scented. Clean with white vinegar. Cats don't like it, but it will not harm them. You can leave a cup out where they are spraying & they will not spray there. Cats also do not like the smell of citrus, so you can get citrus odor eliminators & sit on the floor or even on a table to keep eem off and it works! If possible close the blinds/curtains at the window where your cat sees the other cat the most. Throw orange peels or other citrus out in the area where the neighbors cat comes & see if that deters the visits. Ask the owner if their cat is spayed/neuter & if they can keep him/her inside or limit the time the cat is out. Hope some of these suggestions will help!

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

i have 2 cats that go into the yard where i use roundup ground clear for almost 2 years now. have not had any reason for concern. they seem to ignore those areas.

I am not sure because I bought this and a separate product for bedding and pets. I will say, though, if you have a yard, it might be smart to keep this one and use it outside in addition to whatever you buy for bedding/pets. I found that they really do live in the yard and unless it's treated, they will keep getting re-infested.

That's the same reason I got mine! I stupidly connected the first one in my kitchen, and, wow, my cats bolted out of the room. But it seems to have no effect on them when they are set up outside - of course, it's Texas and I don't open my windows.... and the catstops point away from the house. Actually I only use them long enough to get other cats out of the habit of coming into my yard... then I loan them to friends who also have a cat problem!

Though I don't have a dog, I can assure you this spray will leave a potent "peppermint" sort of scent in the areas you spray. Chances are your dogs won't really dig it because I had to use it repeatedly in specific areas to keep the cat from becoming comfortable again. I doubt it will harm them as much as "annoy" them -- again, not completely sure, though.
