PetSafe SSSCAT Automatic Spray Pet Deterrent + 1 Refill Can - Worlds Leading Motion-Activated Repellent for Cats and Dogs - Keep Pets Off Furniture, Stop Scratching

This works amazingly! If you set this up the right way and in the right orientation, it will do its job. We have had an issue with our cat getting onto the TV stand. We set this up and aimed it slightly toward the tv and after a few sprays, he doesn't even bother with the stand much anymore. We had used all of the other options of tin foil, tape, etc. And nothing worked like this did. I really do wish it was cheaper but it has been incredibly helpful. We've since moved it around and it seems to help in other areas too.

I originally bought three of these units as we had used the previous model and had great success with them. Each of the three new models had the same issue: Once the batteries were installed, head portion locked into the base, and the activation button pushed, all that happened was the button briefly illuminated green, there was a quiet click sound like a relay was triggering, and then nothing. No activation sequence as described in the manual. I tried different button pressing combinations, multiple AAA battery clusters, even flipping polarity of the batteries just in case it was a labeling issue. Nothing worked. It gave me the impression a fuse of some sort was being tripped on the circuit board.I had to call their support line since the web site was useless and the product is not mentioned in the phone directory. The woman I spoke with on support was very nice, tried to help troubleshoot, and offered to send out 3 new units once she admitted there was something wrong. It took them about 4 days to create the shipping label (I had to chase them with multiple calls) and I got confirmation new units were being delivered via email after dropping the returns off at the shipper.Fast forward another few days and I unboxed the three new units, loaded up brand new AAA batteries, only to discover they exhibited the exact same symptoms as the original three I ordered.What a disappointment as the original design worked really well for us, especially at Christmas to keep the cats away from the trees and ornaments (which is why I bought the new trio).

Works great. By looking at the reviews it’s USER ERROR. If your cat doesn’t mind getting a water bottle spray to them, it’s not the products fault? lol! Also don’t use this in an open area or door way in hopes it keeps the cat away. Again this is user error obviously your cat will run right through it past it before it goes off. We use it to deter a kitten from scratching at our door at night and playing in our room while we sleep.It works amazing by keeping your door SHUT. Place it against the door frame facing the opposite door frame… and turn it on. Even when it’s out of spray I haven’t had to replace it because my cat thinks it still sprays with it still doing the noise. I love it and it saved me many hours of sleep. Use your common sense with this product and it’ll work great. Obviously it’s situational based on the cat and what you’re trying to keep them away from. In my opinion it shouldn’t be used on counter tops and open areas. The cat will just go around it… some of yall need help thinking.

Our cat is a serious plant eater, eating the heck out of the indoor kitchen herbs and pepper plants! This has solved that. It scares the poo out of the cat and so there is no plant eater returning any time soon. Every now and then the cat tests it again but overall, it has been an excellent deterrent and now our indoor plants can actually grow! We put one under the Christmas tree to keep her from climbing up the tree. Sometimes it doesn't go off, usually it does. Since ordering these we have not lost one leaf to the plant bandit. And kitty stays out of the Christmas tree and out of under it.A couple notes for consideration: To water your plans you can turn it carefully away if it's facing a wall but don't forget to carefully turn it back. If moved slowly like that, facing a wall, it doesn't typically spray. That can be easier than turning it off and then back on. Not a big deal either, you just need to check the lights to make sure it is at the right setting, off or on.The other warning is toddlers and energetic kids. You need to warn them about it if it's in an area they might go. It could scare them, but once you tell them about it, it could become a game so you might have to move the sprayer from the area until the kid is not in the area. This is likely an issue more with guests as a kid living in your own home understands the rules and the novelty would likely not continue, anyway.It sometimes sprays when you might not want it to because a curtain moves in a breeze (if you are trying to keep a cat out of the window) or because you forget and get in the way. But that is circumstantial and not a malfunction. Sometimes it won't go off if a cat is verrrrry slow and sneaky. Usually, it will. There is no doubt that this thing does work, and it is worth getting. One can will probably be enough to train a cat and to cover all the oopses that set it off.
