Tried it ...cat didn't like it but remained persistently determined to remove it from the
fabric-covered-fiberglass panels and actually damaged the panels by peeling the fabric away from the fiberglass. Sigh. In that instance, the panel was up against a basement window well in which we've had small outdoor critters seek shelter during the winter months. My cats are fantastic mousers and she probably thought she could dig through the padded wall to get to whatever she saw out the window.
Oh, Well. Are there any chemical deterrents? (I’ve heard that cats hate the smell of vinegar; one of these new kitties has a passion for the electric range in the kitchen - YIKES! - and I’ve got to find a way to solve this ASAP.)
Best,
