Pet Repeller Furniture Pad Sofa & Couch Mat, SILVER, 72"

We have been battling to keep our long haired cat off our bed and nothing was working. The bed was covered in hair and I was hiding the pillows under the covers and putting towels down for an easier clean up. Day one when I opened the cover the cat tore off to the other end of the house. I don’t think she’s even tried to get on the bed since. If she has I haven’t heard it and I work from home. We have a cat tree in our room so she can still sleep near us but not ruin our bed. After two weeks she loves sleeping the night in her cat tree and doesn’t try to sneak onto the bed once we fall asleep. This has worked amazing and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to keep pets dog or cat of furniture. This has also helped keep our dogs from sneaking onto the bed once we fall asleep or are too tired to make them go back to their bed.

My cat is a jerk and likes to spray my furniture (and probably the walls and floors -- I hope nobody ever comes through with a blacklight) to punish me for being away too long/not cleaning his box 70 times a day/buying the wrong type of food that was fine the day before but suddenly isn't anymore/or just because why not mess up my hundreds of dollars of furniture -- it's a Tuesday! He's ruined two couches and a bed mattress that looks like I have an incontinence issue but it's all my cat's doing. Great conversation starter. Can't wait to move so I can put it on the sidewalk and show the whole world I pee the bed at 30 years old.ANYWAY, I bought this and it's probably the most unexpectedly effective thing I've ever bought. It just lays there but it's a huge deterrent for my cat who HATES most noises but especially plasticky/foily crinkle noises. He also hates touching those types of fabrics. I rescued him when he was an adult so I have a theory that before the shelter got him, he was tossed out with his brethren and sistren (?) in a plastic grocery bag. Who knows. He hates plastic noises and bags and feeling it or seeing them, so this sheet is the best thing ever. He tried one time to pee on it, which I suspect took great courage, but I just wiped it off (!!!!!) and put it right back he hasn't touched it since. As a human I know he could literally just scoot up under it but he's a cat so he doesn't know to do that and thankfully hasn't yet. I've had this for a few months and it's now part of my evening routine to throw it over my couch before I go to bed. This was a total lifesaver.As a note, the fabric is like the metallic material they wrap marathoners in after they complete a race, so thin, foily material. It has a soft fabric backing so it's easy on your upholstery if you have leather or something.

The only thing I didn’t like is when I want to sit down moving it and the noise will drive me crazy, but it does serve its purpose

We have two cats, one of which would not stop peeing on our couch. We bought a new couch and purchased this pad in an effort to protect it. One of our cats actually loves the pad and will lay and sleep on it. The other cat, the offender, will not go anywhere near it. Even at the sound of someone moving the pad she will bolt out of the room. Believe me, the noise is obnoxious! I gave it four stars because we have tried EVERYTHING to keep the cat from peeing on our couch and this is the only thing that has worked. I stopped shy of giving it five stars because it is such an eyesore on the couch, is not easy to fold up and actually attracts the second cat we have. Also, after a month of owning it I noticed considerable wear in the shiny foil and would be surprised if it was still usable after 6 months. That being said, at this price point it is worth every penny as an effective deterrent.

My lady-cat who occasionally pees on the sofa had gone on a peeing streak and so I decided to get two of these foil blankets to see if it would help with the situation. She not only hopped immediately up on the sofa when I put the foil blankets down, unfazed by the loud noises caused by her traipsing across it, but she then started peeing ON the foil blanket - and that creates quite a mess to clean up. I used them for maybe 6 momths before abandoning for a product that I find MUCH more helpful (the Mambe 100% waterproof furniture cover for pets and people). Often when she'd pee on the foil blanket, she'd jump to get away and the pee that was now sitting on top of the foil would fly around and get on the floor or other unprotected areas. Also, you can't launder the foil blankets. So they became stinky and so worn-through. Maybe this is fine for most cats, but the product did not work well for mine.

I bought this because my two new cats starting having diarrhea accidents around the house including on my new couch. One of these pads barely covered my couch, so my cats went underneath it and pooped. I got a second pad and overlapped them. This worked great for a month or so. I switched my cats food and their diarrhea seemed to get better. I stopped putting the pads on the couch and for a week, no accidents. I had the pads folded neatly by the couch on the floor. Bad idea. One or both of the cats randomly had diarrhea all over the pads on the floor and because it got on the back of them (the cloth type backing, not the foil side) they are ruined. I have sprayed and scrubbed the stains with good cleaner but they won’t come out and these pads can’t be machine washed. I’m guessing urine would have the same effect. My cats did despise the loud sound the pad makes, similar to tin foil. But make sure you have enough pads to completely cover the furniture and don’t leave them laying around if your animal is having accidents!
