Can I use a dog training collar on my cat?
November 27th, 2008 | by admin |I have 3 cats who are fond of scratching. One of them is also a chronic vomitter. By the way - they’re all female and spayed; 2 are mother and daughter. I’m in the market for new furniture and don’t want it to get destroyed by my feline housemates. I intend to buy more scratching posts, but am especially interested in an indoor invisible fence. The products I’ve seen are advertised for dogs - but are they safe for cats as well? Don’t even tell me about the sprays because those don’t work unless I use it on the cats directly (not the recommended use). I’ve also gotten into the habit of cutting their claws weekly, so I’m testing that strategy. Declawing is an absolute last resort.
I’ll amend my original question for those ready to call the ASPCA. I have 3 cats who like to scratch (as cats do). I’ve owned cats all my life, so I’m not new to their behavioral issues. I’m in the market for new furniture and don’t want it destroyed. I intend to buy more scratching posts, but am interested in an indoor invisible fence. The products I’ve seen are advertised for dogs - but are they safe for cats? Yes, I know about water bottles and shouting the word “no”. Yes, I’ve used the SoftClaws, aluminum foil, and sticky tape. Don’t even tell me about repellant sprays b/c those don’t work unless I use it on the cats directly (joking). I’ve also gotten into the habit of cutting their claws weekly, so I’m testing that strategy (yes, I know not to cut the veins). Declawing is an extreme and absolute last resort, regardless what anyone says. Looking for something that I haven’t already tried and will help us all live in peace. Thx for the sensible answers I’ve already recv’d

No, a dog collar would probably kill a cat—way too much
electricity! Keep a sqirt bottle handy and whenever your cats
start to sharpen their claws where they’re not supposed to,
squirt them and say NO! They’ll learn very quickly.
