PetSafe ScatMat Dog Training Strip Extension

We already own the larger scat mat that we use to keep our cats off the couch when we are out of the house and have loved it for years (we never have to turn it on anymore because they were trained very quickly--one zap and they learned!). We were getting frustrated with how our cats would sleep on the top of the couch though, so we bought this. Works perfectly. They recognize the color of the plastic and keep away from it. Problem solved yet again. Love the inexpensive price. If they realize it is not able to zap them, we will simply attach the power supply to it and give them a surprise. We always recommend the scatmat to people with problematic issues with their pets.

I have a couple of the larger ScatMats in my home near doors to keep a new kitten from accidently leaving the premises; he only stepped on one of these mats ONE time to learn to avoid them. This one is on a windowsill and is not even attached to a box to activate it, but he seems to know this plastic strip is not to be messed with. My 15lb dog however jumps right over these mats, which for my intents and purpose is fine with me as long as he doesn't teach the kitten this trick, so your mileage may vary.

I know many people really like the scat mat, but after paying $80+ for this and one of the base mats, it didn't even work. My cats couldn't even feel the low and medium settings. They did not like the high setting, but it didn't stop them from crossing over it. Even then, they would just take a long running leap across the base mat to get into the room I was trying to block off. Waste of money for me.

If you are buying this to attach to another mat, it will not work beccause it does't come with the cord it is supposed to. If you go to the Petsafe site it shows the cord.

I bought one of these thinking I could add it onto my existing scat mat, but in actuality, I can't... at least not without some extra extension cord/wire that it didn't come with and I didn't see on related thing to buy. So, you can unsnap your unit and plug it into this one yes, but you can't just go adding it to the expansion port of your unit without extra hardware.

I also think just having two wires across the whole strip a kind of fail... it's pretty easy for a cat paw to not touch those two wires at the same time, so overall I see this as much less effective than the mat, but if your animals are afraid of this type of plastic from previous shocks it can serve as a kind of dummy deterrent.
