The Sprays I Tested
The [SmartyKat Outta Sight Cat Deterrent Spray](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=SmartyKat+Outta+Sight+Cat+Deterrent+Spray&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my favorite for fabric. Mild scent for humans, strong message for cats.

Quick answers
I compared on cotton, microfiber, and leather. All five were safe but I always patch tested first. One left a slight discoloration on raw silk.
Three to five days for most sprays. Heavy use areas like couch arms needed reapplication every other day to stay effective.
