Questions & Answers
You asked a great question. Thank you. Unlike the original model, ScatMats 2nd Gen are an upgraded version of the product. The new version of the power pack will feature digit stimulation output on the screen and will also have closer cables within the mat itself so that the mat supports smaller animals more consistently.
It's nice to hear from you! Thanks for your With the PetSafe ScatMat 2nd Generation power pack, you cannot use it with other versions of the product. Thank you for your understanding if you find this to be inconvenient.
There is an approximately 3-inch segment where the battery compartment is located, but they are flexible otherwise. As you can see from the photos, I hope that you can see. the size of the couch, that might make it difficult to fold its back all the way over. If you folded it over short way, you could do that, but I'm not sure whether you can fold it over lengthwise due to the battery compartment
It's a great question, thanks for asking it. In order to work properly, the ScatMat must be completely Trying to roll it partially may lead to it not working.

To the point that I am no longer spending hours deep cleaning my couch downstairs due to my 3 cats marking it, thank you very much. Consequently, I tried everything in the book, including an old trick whereby I laid tape pieces across the surface so the cats would jump on it, and the tape would stick to their feet and frighten them. My cat jumped on it and then tried to get tangled in it, which caused her to scratch and bite at the tape. With over 30 scratches and bite marks after trying to remove the tape from her, I needed another It seemed like a good idea to me when I found this. Having said that, I have no idea how stubborn my cats can be, so I set it up across the couch and turned on the shocks to the maximum setting. You may disagree with me, but you have no idea how stubborn my cats can be. These cats just sat there, curious, for the entire time. the install was complete, I watched from my computer monitor as each cat jumped onto the mat. A 2 second warning beep was given to the cats before the shock was administered. Upon discovering my once fat and lazy cats are now fit, they can jump ten feet straight up in the air and two of them have already done Two of them carefully tested it again an hour later, and I laughed so hard that I had never laughed before. Since my cats were able to reach the couch for the second time, they no longer even approach it. While I was going downstairs to press on it for a moment, the cats started running after hearing a series of beeps. Generally speaking, I do recommend this product, at least for cats.
Our rude cat thought this was a great toy, but it spent more time shocking us than it served There is a cat in the downstairs apartment that attacks the cat in the upstairs apartment. Aside from that, he's also quite clever and can easily scale any baby gate no matter how high or how fortified it may be. In the end, we bought two of these to try for the top of the banister and the top of the stairs. In all jumping and walking areas, we covered our ground with mats - Nothing more than one square foot of floor space is available. You know what I mean, right? There are a lot of cats, and they are speedy! We had seen the cat clear that mat well before the beep and the shock had begun to do their job. I put the box back in the corner. I am so disappointed. This is an awesome concept - But it needs way faster reaction times. For example, it would be great if it could read my cat's dirty little mind. Eventually, we managed to install the world's tallest baby gate halfway up the stairs, with duct tape, pillows, a quilters mat, metal bells, Vaseline, a trivial pursuit card box, and wooden shims to fortify the gate. Yeah, I guess. In over a month, we haven't had a single incident of cat assault. This is a total mess - Is easy to use and has no problems with it.
In a nutshell, The mat I have is fantastic! who loves to run away, but Savannah's are not the type of cats who know how to get home, they go exploring and forget how to get there. In that case, we prefer that he There's something creepy about the way he laughs. Could it be from his part wild cat heritage? It is impossible to tell. In any case. placed a mat outside Although he's tested them all several times, he now knows for sure that if he attempts to run away he's going to get a good shock. This has been an amazing experience. I don't have to worry about escaping cats. I'm not going to chase any more in the wetlands behind our home. I don't want to be ridiculed by this jerk anymore. This is a win-win situation!.
In the end, I understood the purpose of the product, and I guess it technically works, but it caused pain to my cat when she stepped on it. She looked at me as if I had hurt her, and was afraid to go near me for the rest of the It was her understanding that it was do not lie on the back of the couch, but her owners thought she was being rude. My use of it immediately stopped after that. I would rather clean up cat barf than have my cat think I would cause harm to.
In total, I have bought four mats of this kind in the past year. It was the older model of Petsafe that I purchased first. I like the way it works. My decision was to try other brands, but none of them were as effective My friend found this newer model of Petsafe, which is more expensive. Because I have ever purchased Petsafe products before, I decided to get two newer models so I could stop my new puppy from making a mess on my carpet since I could not wait for her to arrive. With the new model, I could see an improvement. In order to make the electric current more dense, the space between the currents was made Since my new puppy's paws are so tiny, I think it is great that she is able to navigate between lines. Despite my preference for the older control unit, I am not thrilled with the new one. Has a much harder time reading it. In the older model, there is a light that indicates when the device is on, but in the new one, you have to look closely, so in the dark, you need a flash light in order to see it. I like the look of it, but the older model is not as practical. There is another brand with a better design look and is When we are not present, I lay all my floor mats on the floor to prevent the dogs from going to other rooms. There are spaces in the existing gate where the baby can squeeze through. So the mate is barred from crossing the gate, I place her in front of it. As a result, their strength is not needed to lean against the doors or gates, which prevents them from pounding them hard. I am quite happy with the result. As a result I have only given 4 star rating since it is quite pricey and the control design is not as good as other brands, but from the point of view of.
Over 20 independent tests on the mat were run (on the floor, a couch, and a Only one time out of twenty did it activate. Using the system to deter our cat from jumping on furniture is a great concept, and we'd love to be able to use it. It's not going to work, however, if 95% of the samples fail. We were able to return the item quickly and easily through Amazon.
The cat jumps or runs across the screen even on the highest setting, even when the video is slow.
