"Great product. Keeps my cats from scratching where I don't want them. My new couch thanks this product too!"

— Kelly

"This does Not work, I followed the directions, and my cat went right back to scratching the same place I sprayed it on, I tried spraying it again yesterday and first thing there was no change in behaviour, it cannot eliminate taste in the back of my mouth."
