PetSafe SSSCAT Motion-Activated Dog & Cat Spray, 3.89-oz bottle

I was so excited to get this product in hopes that it will deter my cat from scratching the carpet in front of my bathroom door. Putting together the product in the first was took me bit to figure out. The motion sensor worked for 2 times before it no longer sprayed anything out anymore. I tried switching it on and off and wiping the nozzle but nothing worked. For the price, I would've expected it to work better

Worked for about a day(that's why it gets the 2 stars, it did work for a bit), and my cat is cautious around it at least, but not enough to keep her from scratching at the carpet in front of the bedroom door eventually. Now the sensor won't detect anything unless it is literally directly infront of it/touching it. I can walk past it, my cats can walk past it, I can open a door in front of it...nothing. If I touch the sensor, literally touch my finger to it, it will go off. Other than that, not much happening. Full light, low light, doesn't matter. Maybe mine is defective, but I'm not going to buy another one to find out.

Put this outside overnight one of the rooms my cat is not allowed inside I heard the can go off twice, and some scrambling after. My cat avoided that room like the plague the next day. However, it did spook him enough that the hallway makes him nervous. The can is also very sensitive to movement, but occasionally the spray is a bit too late and misses. Now when I want my cat to be less mischievous, all i do is set the can down, and the sight of it keeps the little guy away. I don’t even need to turn it on The startling sound and burst of air is just enough to deter a cat without hurting them, or making them fearful of their owner.

I got this to keep my cats off the kitchen counter. I wasn't sure of it at first because it kept spraying us as we walked through the kitchen. I tried a few different spots, and finally put it on the outer edge of the counter, aimed back in toward the sink. Not long after, I was sitting at the kitchen table, when my most curious and stubborn cat jumped up on the counter. He was still beside the thing and not in a place to activate it, but as soon as he walked past, the spray got him squarely in the behind! He did a flip and stepped on the kiwis, but it was worth it! I haven't laughed that hard in a while! Now he will stay off the counter whether I'm there to shoo him away or not!

This product has the potential to work well but it is, unfortunately, inconsistent at best. I’ve tried putting it in different areas in front of the bedroom door, leaving the light on to help the sensor and testing the sensor with different objects. While I get sprayed four feet away, a reasonably enterprising feline is able to walk right up to it, knock it over and continue the search for the Holy Grail which is, apparently located in my bedroom. I think to continue with this method more units would need to be purchased and at this price point I don’t believe it’s worth it.

It worked well. My cat wouldn't leave my robot vacuum alone. After must frustration with nonstop chiming and dead batteries, I got this. It worked. It scared the daylights out of my cats a couple times and they ceased wanting to have anything to do with the vacuum. But then I noticed that one of my cats in particular started crying and seemed afraid to come into the living room. It broke my heart to see him like that and I turned it off. He's left the vacuum alone ever since. But this is not a great long term solution in my opinion. I don't want my cats to be frightened and nervous in their own home. So, I use it sparingly. I'm giving it a 4 because it truly does do what it claims but does have It worked well. My cat wouldn't leave my robot vacuum alone.

I set it up in the middle of my kitchen counter and it "hissed" at me when I was four feet away. My problem cat has not been on either the counter or island across from it since. I am glad I don't have to move it back and forth. The on and off feature is great since I only need it when I cannot watch.

I have this on my patio and it absolutely works. Not only does it scare off the feral cats, but it keeps the mountain lions away. I also had issues with gofers storing seeds in lawn furniture. Not any more. I do move it around the patio so the wildlife doesn't become accustomed to it. Very satisfied.

I don’t know if I got a faulty one or if this is everyone but it only sprays ME when I walk by, if the cats jump up on the counter it’s a 50/50 chance, IF that. This was really expensive and my last hope to correct this behavior. And instead I just get to nearly poo my pants every time I walk by while my cats happily stroll the counters.

I hoped these would work to keep my cat off my counter, however they are very sporadic and never seemed to spray when my cat jumped up. Then one of the canisters I bought leaked out within a day which was even more disappointing. Pretty spendy for a product that only works maybe 30% of the time.
