Great Training Tool Date: January 2, 2009
"I love these scat mats, have four other sizes. We adopted a cat from our local Human Society and she was fine for many months, but then started getting on our counters, now she won't even try, and we can actually not have the mats turned on.

Thank you for having a product that works so well and is humane."

Worth Every Penny!!!! Date: November 14, 2008
"I have 6 cats (I'm crazy, I know) that love to jump on our counters. It was annoying, but I'd just shoo them away. However, they recently started urinating on my stove, and I didn't want anyone to get sick (they also tracked it all across the counters- yuck!). I bought the scat mat and placed it near the stove for just one night- and I never had that problem again. Now they sometimes go near the counter, and you can tell that they are thinking about it, but then they walk away. It also helped teach my large dogs that it isn't ok to put their paws on counters to steal food, and also kept them out of a certain corner in the dining room that they considered a bathroom. I'm not sure what I'd do without this product (I probably wouldn't still have 6 cats...)."

just what I needed Date: July 19, 2008
"This scatmat has been a life saver.
I no longer have to worry about my chihuahua darting out the front door and into traffic. It took one zap on low setting to teach her.
She will go near the door but not near the mat.
It amazed me that this fit my needs so well,as to keep Phaedra from running out the front door everytime it was opened.
It is a great training aid.
And it is so humane, that's the best thing about it. and the fact IT WORKS!"

Did not work Date: May 1, 2008
"My cat walked right onto the scat mat and layed on it. The scat mat did nothing to deter my cat. I was very disappointed. I will be sending it back."

Scat mat scats Date: March 1, 2008
"This is great! After two shocks, our boxer, stays out of the living room and the furniture. It is worth the price for saving our furniture. We have two doorways going in to our living room and it was suggested we use a carpet runner with the points up as a dummy mat. We switch off which door has the charged mat. So far it is working like a charm!"

Scat Mat Date: February 8, 2008
"These mats are a great idea for keeping pets from entering a room. I have a very wide living room which is open from the kitchen. It took 2 mats and 2 extensions but have done the trick. The power packs have died but Contech has very good customer service and is replacing them. Our puppy is so well trained by the mat that he won't cross it even though it isn't sending out the static."

Cat Lover with New Furniture Date: February 16, 2007
"I bought a scat mat to keep my cats away from new furniture - it works great! The cats only walked across it once and they never went near the area again. The drawback is that I paid $$ for something to be used just once by each cat! It really works."

Scat Mat Date: December 16, 2005
"I have used these mats for several years to keep cats and dogs from certain areas or off furniture or out of my large indoor planters. Good for dogs and cats. The wires damage easily so be careful moving them. Work on batteries or 120v. Highly recommend"
