It is a thermal sensor, so it gets me more often than it gets my cat, even if I am 5 feet away sometimes. Other times, my cats will be 2 inches away from it and it doesn't spray them. But they are definitely afraid of it and the sound, so it does still deter them where placed.

No more cats on the kitchen counter

This has done a great job keeping the cats off the counter and urinating at my front door.

Petsafe SSSCAT - Randomly Works - Wish I had my money back

I set this up and it worked a couple time then did not. I moved to see if it was due to the brightness level by the door and it worked again for a day. Today my cat just walked around it and nothing happened for at least 10 seconds. Now he is laying in front of it and moving and nothing. Just set it up last weekend. Was recommended by Jackson Galoxy so I wanted to try it for a humane solution but expensive. Wish I could return but I waited to long to test it so prob not an option

I loved the idea of this to keep my curious cat off the counter, but with a black cat it only works during the day. Unfortunately at night when we have the biggest problem it won't catch the black fur with the motion sensor so it doesn't work or spray in the dark at all, essentially useless for us.

It works kinda. I don't think it's as effective as the 1st generation, it does do the job. Issues I had was with the button I press to turn on and some times it did and some times it didn't. When the compressed air did come out it would be cold. It sounded like it was struggling to work at times. This was my first time using this version so maybe it will be different next time as I do in general like this product.

I bought three of these to keep my cat out off of shelves with my house plants. They worked well for several months but now they no longer work, even after replacing the batteries and the spray canisters. I’ve spent over $150 on the three canisters and replacement parts and unfortunately they do nothing for me now.

save your money and buy a spray bottle!

This thing didn't work at all - the cats never set it off. It would sometimes go off randomly if a person walked in front of it.

Earlier today after I set the thing up I found that just walking past the counter its set up on to get to my fridge sets the thing off (a distance of a little over 4 feet) so I ended up turning it off. But tonight now that I don’t need the fridge anymore I figured I would turn it on to keep my cats off the counter and it wont turn on at all anymore. It flashes green once when I press the button, theres a little click noise, and then it doesn’t go through the 30 second warm-up at all it just remains off. Feels like a waste of my money.
