Best Cat Repellents Sprays of 2025

"I had tried everything, but nothing worked until I used this product. It stopped my cat from peeing in one corner after her UTI treatment. It's been over a week without any accidents! I found the scent pleasant, even if others dislike it. I highly recommend giving it a try!"

"When my unneutered cat started spraying, I hoped this would help after his surgery. Unfortunately, I sprayed the area, and he marked it again within 20 minutes! It felt like a total backfire and a waste of money. I regret using it!"

"I've been dealing with territorial marking among my rescue cats. This spray has worked wonders! No more marking in sprayed areas. The scent is soothing, and I plan to continue using it. Don't give up on your cats; find the problem and fix it!"

"I was at my wit's end with the deer rubbing on my porch posts for years. After trying multiple solutions, I finally found this essential oil spray. It truly works! I applied it, and the ring camera showed the buck sniffing and then walking away. I do need to spray weekly, especially during peak season, but it's a relief to have found something effective!"

"I had high hopes for this spray to deter my cats from pooping on the hardwood floor, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. Despite cleaning the area multiple times and applying the spray, they continued to do their business in the same spots. Ironically, a citrus-scented disinfectant I bought on clearance ended up being more effective. I won’t be purchasing this again."

"Initially, I was hesitant about using this spray on my furniture, worried it might harm my cats. But I'm pleased to say that it works wonderfully! The scent reminds me of pine and gives a nice, fresh aroma to my home, almost like Christmas. It's easy to use, and I’m satisfied with the results!"

"This product works! I have a 3-year-old male cat who started spraying after a new cat joined our home. I sprayed this in the areas he targeted, and he hasn’t sprayed since! It has a pleasant spicy scent, and I plan to keep treating the areas daily to maintain the results. Highly recommend!"

"After rescuing an ORANGE kitten, this spray has been a life-saver. I recommend letting it air out in the garage after spraying to lessen the potent smell. I even used it on gift bags and, so far, the kitten hasn’t touched them! I will definitely be recommending this to others!"

"This product worked for my plants but not so much for the furniture. The strong smell keeps my cat off the plants, but he still chews on the furniture. I appreciate that it hasn’t harmed my plants or furniture, but it’s essential to follow the instructions and reapply frequently."

"The cinnamon scent really helps keep cats away from my property without harming them."

"After using this product, I noticed a decrease in outdoor cat traffic in front of my door, which is a relief!"

"I found that the product worked best with consistent spraying. If I didn't keep up with it, the cats just returned."

“I was a bit hesitant due to the price, but once I sprayed the area where I didn't want my cat, he immediately left. The smell was a bit overpowering at first, but it didn't last long.”

“I used this product to keep my orange cat from climbing the Christmas tree. I went through the entire can in three days, spraying just the lower part. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all on my cat.”

“With a new kitten in the house, I sprayed my Christmas tree after several broken ornaments. So far, it's working well for me!”

"This spray has been a lifesaver for my furniture and plants! I was initially skeptical, but it worked wonders from the start. My cat stopped scratching the sofa and hasn't touched the curtains since. The natural formula gives me confidence using it around my pets without worrying about chemicals. The scent is noticeable but not overwhelming, and it dissipates quickly while still deterring my cat effectively. I've also used it outdoors, and it's held up well. For anyone dealing with curious cats, this spray is a game-changer!"

"I've been searching for a good cat repellent, and this one is the only one that has truly worked for my cat. It's very functional and a great purchase for the price. The smell isn't too bad, although I'm not a fan of citrus scents, it’s manageable. Plus, the spray bottle is easy to use, dispensing just the right amount each time."

"After getting new chair covers, my cat claimed them as her favorite scratching toy. This product immediately deterred her from scratching, saving my chair covers. The natural smell doesn't linger long, and I even sprayed it on the bottom of our Christmas tree to stop her from chewing the lights. It worked like magic!"

"I bought this product to stop stray cats from triggering my security cameras, but unfortunately, it didn't deter them at all. They continue to follow their usual trails."

"I hoped this would keep my cat, Gus, from digging up the planter boxes after he returned from being missing for 18 days. While the initial smell was overwhelming, it didn’t stop him from causing chaos. I ended up covering the soil with lava rocks instead."

"I initially fed stray cats, which led to a huge problem. After using this Cat Mace product, I didn’t see much change in their behavior. Even after spraying heavily in their favorite spots, they still lounged around. However, since I stopped feeding them and used an electronic device, I’ve noticed fewer cats."

"I recently had my living room furniture re-upholstered, but my two cats didn’t like the newness. I tried everything, and while heavy plastic sheeting worked, it looked terrible. I used Fabreze, but it was overwhelming. After trying various repellents, I ordered 'Cat Scratch,' and fingers crossed, it’s working! I love the clove-like smell, and it doesn’t stain. I even sprayed it directly on my dark blue velvet chair. It's now on my regular Amazon reorder!"

"I picked this product because it was the cheapest cat scratch deterrent. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for my cats at all. I sprayed my furniture and bed multiple times, and they just sniffed and scratched anyway! The scent is pleasant, but it seems like every cat is different, and mine just didn’t care."

"I really enjoy the smell of this spray, and it seems to keep my cats away from the areas I've treated, including my Christmas tree! However, I think the nozzle could use some improvement since it doesn’t spray consistently."

"I don't believe any of these products actually work. However, I advise against purchasing from this vendor, even if the product did work. They replaced the product page with a cat spray and used the glowing reviews from that product to promote this one. Thankfully, the review section has been corrected now."

"The cap on the bottle was completely sealed and I couldn't remove it, no matter how hard I tried. I even attempted to cut through the seal with a sharp knife, but it was futile. I plan to return it tomorrow for a refund since I really needed it with new furniture arriving soon."

"After I sprayed this on my furniture, my cat was back to scratching everything right away. This product did not work for me."

"I had a recurring problem with stray cats in my yard. After using the Fikog Pet Cat Deterrent Spray, I noticed that cats really dislike it! After just one application in the affected areas, I haven't seen any stray cats for months. I make sure to reapply every couple of months just to be safe. Highly effective!"

"I found a stray cat that had some sort of mental issue. Despite spraying twice a day for a week, it had zero effect. The cat went right in front of me after I sprayed, and I ended up using the entire bottle without any change. Now, the cat is gone."

"In my neighborhood, we have a lot of feral cats that were really messing with my dog's space. After I sprayed this product around, I noticed them coming in and then running off after smelling it. They started visiting less frequently, and now they don't come at all! I would definitely recommend it."

"I had several street cats triggering my cameras at night, so I got this spray. However, they were not disturbed by it at all. I felt a bit scammed for a $40 bottle of what seemed like water with peppermint. While it smells nice to us, I think there are better options out there, like CAT MASE granules that worked much better."
