Rizzo is doing a number on my TV speaker grilles with his claws. This is
despite having ready access to several scratching posts. I was able to
break Jack of the habit with the pennies-in-a-can bit, but Rizzo ignores it.
They somehow manage to pull off the double-sided tape I apply with great
regularity. I'd like to try the No-Scratch spray I've seen at Petsmart and
elsewhere. Does it work? I know there is great favor for Feliway in this
group, but I tried using a Feliway diffuser to ease Rizzo's introduction a
few weeks back, and it had no effect that I could detect. I'd rather not
spend another $30.

It didn't phase my cat in the least. Not to say it won't work with yours
though. All cats seem to react differently to certain things.

I have never found a no scratch spray that works in UK, but I use anti mate
for dogs which does work for my cats! it doesn't smell as nasty as those
other sprays either.

might also consider a spray bottle too.

We use one that is janitor quality so it shoots water about 12 feet.

I'd think instead of double sided tape try the sticky paws which comes in
sheets, more coverage. You might also try a citrus smelling spray ( of
course, spray it on a cloth first and rub on speaker screen). That might
deter him from the area more and still smell good to you. Or combine both
methods.
