Try an apple cider vinegar mixed 1:1 with water. You could also try a peppermint mixture. They also make a product called Shake Away that is suppose to smell like Coyote urine (a cat predator). Hopefully you will find one that he dislikes! I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello and thanks for using Boop by Petco! It may be helpful for you to provide more details as to what behavior you're trying to correct in Sabbath. As you have found out spraying with water and tapping or hitting never work. These punishments can actually make things worse and are not recommended. Positive reinforcement and consistency are key in any training. A Feliway diffuser may help you as well. Again, depending on the behavioral problem there may be different solutions so more details are helpful in Sabbath's case. If you are running into problems a consultation with your veterinarian or even a boarded veterinary behaviorist will help. They can even discuss behavioral medications if necessary.

I would try this spray, it isa natural repellent from chewing or licking http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1098 Safe, effective way to stop destructive chewing, licking, and gnawing behavior. Spray Fooey on any surface to protect. Gentle enough to use on plants, furniture, wood, and leather. Also spray on pet bandages to keep dogs from licking and chewing on them. Alcohol-free. 8 oz. Over time this will help keep Abaza from the couch due to association with the taste and smell.

Unfortunately this is a very common cat characteristic . I recommend to either a restricted area that Lady Bird has access to or to keep the countertops clean so there is nothing to knock down. There are some products to deter cats: motion activated fog horns, electric collars, and certain odors but they work with varying degrees of success. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for the info about the litter boxes. Yes, it does matter! The rule is to have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra. So ideally, you should have 11 litter boxes. Anyway, as for a product, I recommend Skout's Honor. I use it when my cats have accidents, and it's amazing. I hope this helps!
