Having problems with cat hair on my furniture....does the Scat Mat work?

Apr 19, 2008 by Lisa Lou | Posted in Cats

My cats like to lounge all day on the backs of my couches and I am constantly cleaning cat hair off! I am getting sick of sitting down on my couch and having cat hair all over my shoulders! Has anyone tried the Scat Mat? I've tried everything, from the spray bottle method (which doesn't work when I'm not home, LOL), from putting aluminum foil up there, which they just knock off. Also, any other suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Scat mats work great- they have been a lifesaver for us (and our furniture!) One zap and your cats will definitely give your chairs a wide berth. They have several different sizes- check here-

I bought this to keep the cats and dogs out of the living stay. Ha ha.

I bought a pet training mat to replace one that was accidentally thrown away. The bottom line is that it works and I recommend it.

More info: I placed the mat across an archway between the dining room and living room to keep our fox terrier out of the living room. I originally used a 9v battery. Be aware that the shock may not occur every time the mat is touched because contact must be maintained long enough to build up a static charge. It can take 2-3 seconds. But that’s okay, because the dog will eventually get shocked and will learn very quickly to avoid the mat. There were occasions when she would get so excited when someone came to the front door that she would run over the mat (without getting shocked) but then realize where she was and refuse to cross the mat to return. The battery eventually died, but the dog did not test it for months. After she realized that it no longer posed a threat, she was comfortable crossing it, albeit at a quick trot.

When I bought the replacement mat, I also got the AC adapter and the large extension mat. I’m not sure exactly how the charging/shock sequence works with the extension mat, but I figured it would make it even less likely that she could trot over both mats. After one shock, she realized that the power was back and has not crossed it since. And I have it set on the lowest of the three power settings. It works.

We just purchased 2 new couches and didn’t want any of are pets to have full access to it like are last set. With in one week are dog doesn’t even try to jump on are couches. Are cats are a little more stubborn but it does what it says it’s suppose to do. Would recommend this product to my friends and family. This is great if you have more than one piece of furnicher you want to protect.

This scat mat worked wonders on our 90 lbs, slightly out of control, 10 month old pup. He refused to stay off the counters despite our consistent “positive” reinforcements. One static cling shock later – and I tested this on myself and it is not painful – and he is not the least bit interested in counter-surfing any longer.
