2.0 out of 5 stars It does work - but chemical warning makes me nervous, July 11, 2010

This review is from: Lambert Kay Boundary Cat Repellent Spray (Misc.)

I had a friend who swore by this product, so I purchased it and used it on wood furniture and the back of chairs (my cat loves to scratch wood furniture). While it worked when the furniture was damp, he would inevitably go over and sniff the area and touch it with his paws, and the next morning would scratch again. My friend had mentioned re-application, so it was this point I read the back (should have done that first). There is a warning for users to call poison control if the stuff gets on your skin because the ingredients are dangerous when absorbed. I then researched the chemical, here's a link to epa fact sheet ([...]). The warning is required by EPA because it is classified as a toxic chemical - but it seems there's no risk when inhaling and toxicity is very low.

While my research does ease my fears on the safety of the product, I think it's best that each consumer make the decision of whether to use the product based on their cat's personality. My cat will try to taste and eat things when he doesn't recognize them, and nips faces and hands as signs of affection. Based on that, boundary is too much of a risk for me.

For those with cat's similar to mine, purchasing the organic sprays as an alternative is not recommended - while they don't have a sent, they don't really work. My cat will avoid when area is damp, but walk over it once it's dried. So now we have a scratch board with catnip, that he loves, double sided tape, that he tries to eat but does keep him from scratching, we clip his claws regularly, and we purchased a large accent rug that we encourage him to scratch with treats and positive reinforcement.

The chemical used in Boundary has been around since 1966 and it hasn't not caused serious harm to pets, but follow your gut if you know your cat is persistent and curious.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS. MY CAT WON'T GO NEAR IT., October 23, 2009

My male cat went through a period of urinating in various areas. (No, he did not have a urinary tract infection and No, he is not depressed in need of pet psycho-therapy.) Spraying this stuff works. He stopped urinating in those areas and I've gotten him to use the litter box again. It smells but it works. I recommend re-applying it and then dropping the cat in the area while saying no. I tried the organic sprays and they are worthless. If you want something organic that does not work then spray water. At least you'll save money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worked the first 2 days, September 18, 2009

This worked great,the first 2 days,after that forget it.I paid too much for the results I got!
I have 3 kittens,they all scattered the first day,I sprayed it on my sofa and chair.{I used it on the furniture each morning)The 3rd day,I caught them scratching the furniture as soon as the spray dried!I re-sprayed again,they sat right there and watched me!This time I sprayed so much,even my eyes were affected!The furniture was saturated!
After 1 1/2hrs passed,the kittens were right back to scratching!I found a rolled newspaper slapped on my palm and a sharp "No!" is working better.I gave it a 2 star,only because it worked for 2 days.That is hardly enough to recommend this product.Maybe,if you had 1 kitten that was sensitive to the spray.Not mine!
