CatScat makes countertops, plants, furniture, balconies and entire rooms off-limits to cats even when no one is home or you are sound asleep. It utilizes a passive infrared motion detector to sense when a cat nears a protected area. The unit then emits a series of strong pulsating ultrasonic waves for 4 seconds to repel the cat, training it to stay away. The ultrasonic waves are heard by cats and inaudible by humans. They find the sound so uncomfortable that areas guarded by CatScat are soon avoided altogether. CatScat protects property and it protects pets by keeping them away from dangerous areas such as poisonous plants, machinery and stovetops. Because cats have a mind of their own, there's CatScat!

CatScat Introduction
We love our feline friends dearly, yet they can often be a worrisome annoyance. As we soon learn our lounging, sleepy, cat-napping friends are nocturnal. When we are trying to sleep, they decide it is their time to explore. This seems to be their time to play with their toys, get on the kitchen counter, dig in our house plants, (or eat them), and in general be a royal pain. If we are not woken by this, we often find the evidence in the morning. Attempts have been made in the past to control this night-time activity by devices that frighten our restless friends. A detection device with a loud siren as an alarm may be fine for outside use, or use in the daytime, but I personally do not want a smoke alarm sounding siren waking me at 3 AM telling me that my cat is on the kitchen counter or digging in the plant.
CatScat makes countertops, plants, furniture, balconies and entire rooms off-limits to cats even when no one is home or you are sound asleep. It utilizes a passive infrared motion detector to sense when a cat nears a protected area. The unit then emits a series of strong pulsating ultrasonic waves for 4 seconds to repel the cat, training it to stay away. The ultrasonic waves are designed in the range that are heard by cats but are inaudible to humans and dogs. Cats find the sound so uncomfortable that areas guarded by CatScat are soon avoided altogether.
CatScat Operation
CatScat uses a 9-volt, alkaline battery (not included) or 9-volt, AC/DC adaptor which can be purchased at a consumer electronic store. If the unit is to be used in one place, using the adaptor (rather than buying batteries) can be more economical.
Turn power ON, and position the unit in the area requiring protection. Placing the unit at about 3 feet above the floor level will give a detection distance of 15 feet in an area sweeping 90o (See Figure A). For counter top, stove top, or table top protection, placement is best at the back of the counter. (See Figure B).
