Highlighted Reviews

— Meagan

"We bought this because our cat wouldn't stop getting on the counter. I aim the air spray away from where he'd be if he jumped up, so it's just the noise that startles him. He now knows the sound of the can being placed on the counter and leaves the kitchen."

— tanya

"Considering the unit on top where the batteries go in are a small fortune to purchase, I'm very disappointed that they did not last long. I have new cans that I've had in my cupboard and unfortunately I've had to get them up and running to deter a cat from a specific corner and the unit won't work. ..."

Bottom Line

The PetSafe SSSCAT Deterrent is a good product, but may not be the most cost-effective in the long run due to the short lifespan of replacement cans.
