 Works Perfectly Nov 26, 2005
By B. Page
We purchased this device to prevent our numerous cats from pawing at the bedroom door at night (we need the sleep and they don't sleep). We had tried several methods (barricades, squirt bottles, etc.) and was not able to prevent the cats from trying to 'open' the door.
The SSSSCat was easy to initialize and we set up the unit near the door. Sure enough the first night one particularly stubborn kitty tested it three times...but only a few times ever since. The cat approaches to paw at the door, the unit emits a series of beeps, then ssssssssssss. The cat runs away. The warning alarm is barely audible from behind the door--so we barely register the sound in our sleep. It definitely discourages the cats--they never even get to the door to paw at it. The air canister is still going after several months.
We plan on purchasing additional units for other problem areas of the house. I highly recommend this product for smoothing conflicts between people and cats in an effective and humane way!

Worked immediately Jan 30, 2006
By armo
I bought this only a few days ago because my cat jumps up on the countertops constantly. I had been looking for a deterrant that did not inconvenience me (as I had done the whole pennies-in-a-can thing, which was annoying and unattractive), and something that did not shock my cat (like the Scat mat). I am amazed at how well this device works. It is straightforward and instinctively easy to put together -- I just put the batteries in and attached the motion detector on top of the can. It works exactly as advertised, and within a day I was able to turn the spray option off because my cat jumps down (and runs!) as soon as he hears the noise. This is the perfect solution because I don't need to be there for him to be deterred. I really recommend this product if you're looking for a safe and effective deterrant.

Not the BLUE ONE like in picture May 02, 2008
By J. Wesley
When I bought this Product the images were of the older blue unit, which is what I wanted since it gave off a warning noise before spraying. I see this as an advantage as it would warn humans that they are about to be sprayed, and thus save the canned air. Oh and you dont have to buy the SSSCAT replacement cans, Take the top part of the unit to your Office Depot and you can find a few diffrent type of canned Airs that the unit will fit, for much less that $10 for a 4.5 oz CAN. The only thing diffrent in the SSSCAT canned air and the normal canned air is the SSSCAT has some white stuff in there so the cat sees a clouds of smoke comming to them. The cloud of smoke disappears about half way thru the can anyway, so why pay more for it. I was able to get my unit on a memorix canned air.

 Works...sometimes. Nov 30, 2007
By Davido
I had an older model of the Sscat that had an alarm which would sound before it sprayed. You could set it to "alarm only" - no spray - after your cat was trained. This would save on canisters of air, which are outrageously expensive and are smaller now (by almost half) than they use to be. The original canister was wider also, which made the unit more stable. These new tiny canisters are too small and make it top-heavy and difficult to balance the unit on uneven surfaces.
The new model has "spray only" - no alarm. I suspect the manufacturer figured out they could make more $ on the canisters without the alarm.
The original model lasted about 2 years. This new model works only intermittently, so occasionally I find my cat sitting right next to it.
Bottom line: Too expensive, not reliable. Find something else.
