This was bought with the intention of using it to dab on my important electrical cords to keep the cat from mauling them. However, with the dabber top the amount applied because little to none very easy, and the ingredient used to make bitter apple bitter (Isopropyl alcohol), evaporates in a ridiculously short amount of time. For the price I paid I should have returned it but I was certain it was a user error not the product. My advice to anyone using it is to use a heavy, heavy amount, and DO NOT apply directly to any hot spots or wounds on the cat as the alcohol will cause it to burn.
