 Great Training tool July 10, 2008
I got this when I could take being woken up at 2 in the morning because my cat kept jumping up on the kitchen counter and knocking things over. I bought it about 2 months ago and it has retrained my cat completely. Now I can actually walk away from the dinner table or kitchen and let the SSSCat keep an eye out for me. It has a nice wide range and now just the sight of the little contraption is enough to ward away the cat from whatever trouble he is thinking about getting into. I also never had a problem moving it from one part of the house to another like some of the other reviewers because its been in constant use in at least 3 different rooms and has been a lifesaver.
lifesaver... July 2, 2008
i have a cat we adopted who pees in the corner by the back door. He ruined the hardwood there. I tried everything, boundary spray, putting a fan there, rubbing his face in it and spraying him with water...I was ready to bring him back to the shelter and this stuff saved him. Seriously I feel bad even saying that but i was at my wits end. This spray really does work and its humane. My cat jumped 5 feet in the air and did a backflip when he went near it.. I almost wish it had a camera attached ;-) it also deters them from the counter tops as well if your cats counter surf. The dog is scared of it too.
 Works Great. Some other features would be nice May 3, 2008

These Ssscat sprayers work great. We had a cat that would get on our counters and insist on eating anything there. Bread would get eaten, plastic bag and all! We tried spraying manually with spray bottles, but believe me, the cat knows when you leave that it's now safe to go up there again. Lining the counters with soda cans worked for a couple of days, but was really tacky looking and then the cat didn't care about the noise and would go up there anyway.
So we bought two Ssscats and the cat has now learned (over a week or two) not to jump up there. It works great!
Some suggestions though...
We always want to know if the ssscat has gone off. So I cut little strips of paper, folded them into "L" shapes and put them over the tops of the cans. The paper hangs over the spray part (not the motion sensor), so if the can goes off the paper goes flying. If we come home and the paper is on the ground, we know that the cat has been there. An LED light or indicator on the unit itself would be much better.
The ON/OFF switch is kind of backwards. Up and down would be preferable, but if it has to be horizontal, then off should be to the left (not the right, as it is now). I used a magic marker to make it more obvious which direction is ON/OFF, since it is easy for us to set them off. Again, an LED or light of some kind would be better. Of course that would run the batteries down, which leads me to my next point...
A plug-in version would be better (instead of battery power). Not only would you not have to worry about batteries, but you could arm and disarm a bunch of Ssscats by turning a plug-strip on or off (or by using a switched outlet). As it is now, we have to run and try to shut them all off before they spray us. Having a remote control on/off or remote power kill would be much better.
But all in all, they work and are worth a try for anyone looking to get their cats off the counters. Highly recommended!

I was very pleased with the time it took from when ordered until it arrived.
I found this product to be very effective in the beginning. I wish I had known that the can would run out as quick as it did. I would have ordered extras. Either my cat is very smart or a little slow. After the can ran out all I had to do was show it to him and he was well behaved. Then he must have fiqured it out....ummmmm no noise now so guess I can once again take my perch on the counter...now the can doesn't even scare him. Totally my fault since I was not too smart in not ordering an extra can....so who is the smart one here???? Strongly recommend for any dog or cat owner who are having problems but....be smart and order one or two extra cans!
Great product April 21, 2008
What a great product to teach kitty what things to avoid. The only downside is that the motion sensor reaches out about 5 feet, so anyone else in the room may trigger it as well. The instructions state to set this out when humans won't be around to trigger it. I also limited the motion sensor's range by covering part of it with tape. I think that this will only take a few times to teach kitty what areas to avoid.
