Read some bad reviews on this not working AT ALL, and the cat getting sick while licking it off. Is it, or is not safe for the cat?

I rub it in with a cloth so it dries right away. I haven't had any problems with cat licking it off and neither of my cats have gotten sick from it.

I've been using this on my cat since I got her in April. She's never gotten sick from it. My boyfriend has pretty mild allergies (get's itchy and sneezy around cats but no severe reactions) and he's lived comfortably with my girl in our one bedroom apartment thanks to Allerpets!

It worked wonders for our our family. We also vacuum regularly and spray Febreeze allergy spray. My cat starts kicking himself as soon as I finish applying, and he's never gotten sick!

I'm so sorry your poor cat is having such a hard time. If she was already full of fleas before starting the Flea Away, you may need to get her to the vet or groomer for a flea dip, while continuing to use the product for future prevention. My dog wasn't full of fleas when I started using it, so all I can say about my personal experience is that he never attracted any fleas after I started giving him the Flea Away. I'm a little concerned that you said your cat stinks, in addition to being full of fleas. The Flea Away shouldn't have any effect on your cat's odor. There has been absolutely no odor with my dog, while I've been giving it to him. Cats are extremely clean creatures. I'm not a veterinary expert by any means, but there could be an underlying health concern here. Fleas can be very attracted to animals with weakened immune system, and a cat who is not keeping herself clean and is stinking could be ill. You may want to consider a veterinary visit just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps.

The biting comes from a lack of claws. My cat bites when he plays, and it's not a nipping bite. It does seem to calm him down, but I give him his treat at night before bed. I was told it's safe to give the cat 2 if one doesn't work. I haven't needed to. Yet. :-)

Hi--I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

I have had mine about a month, so far has worked when we have been out of the house. I use it routinely every day, whether I am gone or not. That way I can see it works consistently and my cat is use to the routine of eating from it.

It's not going to cause any harm. It's a probiotic. Just see to it that your kitty that needs it gets it. The other kitties will only benefit as well. It has really made a difference in my kitty. I am so grateful to the vet who recommended it.

It doesn't say anything about cats on the bottle, but I have seen a few websites and reviews that mention it being safe for cats. Personally, I have found this to be a very gentle product and I would feel safe trying it on a cat. Maybe use it on one area to make sure there's no reaction first?

I stopped feeding it to my cats. I have one who has food/protein allergies. After feeding it to my girls for a couple of weeks the cat with the food allergies started to vomit within 10 to 15 minutes after eating. She is the only one who reacted. I am not saying something is wrong with the food, but my allergic cat could not tolerate this food after a couple of weeks. I think I would hold off on feeding it to a young kitten.

Basically I just put a pinch on the floor and cats either eat some of it or sometimes they roll around in it. Either way they end up a little "cat drunk." If you have several cats, makes sure each gets a little pinch so they don't get jealous. I've also mixed a little into some food - generally when one of them is sick and doesn't want to eat. It did work, but doesn't on a continuous basis. Placing it on the floor though is what we've done for many years and it works great!

The label says "for dogs", but it does not say it can't be used on cats. I would think it was safe , but maybe they make them for cats as well. I would use them. But ask a vet if you aren't sure.

It is washable, but I have no idea if it's safe to use on more than one cat.

Yes, just keep it away from their eyes, mouth & genitals. I spray my cats back & tail with it all the time. I won't tellyou they like it, but it works. Same goes for dogs. It is very popular here on the Gulf Coast area because fleas area natural due to the humidity & dampness. I know tons of people who use only this product because it is natural.You never want to use any aromotherapy products like oils on your cats, but this products is safe for cats over 12weeks of age.

I tried this on my cat, and it works real well. Never any problems at all. Thanks frostbyte45

i have three cats as well, and would never expose them to being hurt. that being said, i tested the scat-mat on myself when i opened it... it was a slight shock. not painful at all, just annoying enough to cats that they learn to stay away. lately, i dont even plug it in anymore, i just leave it laying there. they avoid it by sight alone. ive accidentally stepped on it barefoot plenty of times- you definitely notice it, but it definitely doesnt hurt. it just gets the cats attention and makes them associate that spot with something unpleasant.

I gave this product to my healthy cat and in 3 weeks I noticed blood in his stools. If this does anything to the blood this could be side effect! anyone had this problem?

I just looked at my label and it doesn't say anything about using it on cats. Cats lick themselves much more than dogs do. If you're going to use it on a cat, it might be best to get as much of the product off the cat as you can. I'd wipe the cat down with a damp cloth after spraying and detangling.

I am not using it that way,but I saw several reviews by people who apparently were. All you would have to do is make sure the electric wires were properly isolated from water,etc. My cats love the warmth; as they mention,it does take a bit of time to warm up once the cat is on it,so I stitched a fuzzy cat blanket envelope for it so that they would curl up on that and then get the warmth.
