PetSafe ScatMat, Medium, 30-Inch by 16-Inch

If your cats aren't too bright, the mat always has to be in place. I was hoping my cats would learn to avoid certain areas so I can move the mat around, but have unfortunately had to buy an extra one along with an extension.

If you want to keep cats off certain furniture, this is a great product. If you want to train your cats to stay away from a place, it might not work, depending on how smart your cats are.

With my older mat I've noticed that the activity light goes on by itself and the mat shocks the air (I hear the noise) every once in a while when there is nothing on the mat. This wastes the battery (be aware that you have to buy a 9 volt battery separately, as it doesn't come with the product). Despite this, the battery seems to last a long time (almost 6 months).

After buying new leather furniture for our media room and trying mulitple things to keep our dog and cat off the new furniture, I purchased the 48" ScatMat. It worked so well, I purchased the shorter 30" mat for our love seat. Keeps both the dog and cat off the furniture. It has 3 different levels of intensity, which is nice for different size pets. Once the pets learn of the shock, you don't always have to turn them on. I highly recommend this product. Just remember to turn them off and remove them when you have company coming to visit. A couple of our guests have sat down on the mats before we could warn them. Not a big shock, but it got their attention.

I purchased this as a last ditch effort to save my husband's cat from being banished from the house due to urinating on my brand new sofa and chair. The product was actually recommended by the upholstery cleaning company who cleaned said furniture for us. I ordered 2--one 10x16 to go across the back of the sofa and a smaller one to go across the back of the recliner. They arrived fast! They're simple to put together---you just install the battery in the power pack, then snap the power pack onto the mat. Choose your setting from lo to high (I used high!) and the mat is activated. Now, I have not yet seen the cat get zapped, but she must have been because she has gone from lounging all over the furniture like she owns it to making a W I D E circle around the furniture and not even hopping up for a minute. I am finding no cat hair on the furniture, so this is a good indication that she was zapped and has chosen to avoid having that happen again. I call this a successful diversion and would definitely purchase again and would highly recommend this product. As an added bonus I have enjoyed many moments of amusement when my hubby sits down on the sofa and casually tosses his arm across the back. LOL He's been zapped four or five times now and each time the kids and I have laughed so hard we cried. FYI.....the people who declared this a "cruel" way to train an animal are likely to have no experience with this mat, in my opinion. Even on the highest setting it isn't a "painful" shock. It's like the well built up, foot shuffling static shock we all had fun with as kids. It uses a 9v battery, so obviously we aren't talking death chamber electrocution here. It's enough, tho and does work as the manufacturer suggests as a deterrent to keep pets (and some husbands) off of the furniture!

This little mat is fantastic. I don't even have to have it on anymore. My cats see it and know how it feels if they step on it. Anywhere you don't want your cats: sofa, dining room table, kitchen counter, etc., put down the mat and they will stay away. I would definitely recommend this product. Will not hurt or injure your cat. I love, love, love it!!!

Our young cats are awesome, but my boy has "the call of the wild" and wants to run out the door every time he hears it open, which is a nuisance when we are going in and out a lot. We set the scat mat in front of the door, and both stepped on it and got a zap which was enough for them to jump off quickly. After this happened a couple of times, they stay away from the door even if we leave it open. I took a piece of clear vinyl shelf liner and put it by the door instead, and they still stay away, so we were able to move the mat to the back door.
