Product Description

Do you need help turning your bad feline or fido into a well behaved pet? The Scat Mat uses a persuasive, but completely harmless, static pulse to keep your pet from shedding, scratching, or doing their business where you don't want them to. Scat Mats can be used on furniture, countertops, doorways and even window sills. A few exposures usually do the trick. Use Scat Mats, Extension Mats and our Dummy Mats to tell your pets "No!" even when your not home! Same as the SKM411, but this smaller mat is great for smaller counter top or tight spaces

Customer Reviews

Scat mat quickly and safely eliminated my dogs unwanted behavior
My older male dog, had begun to urinate in my living room after the introduction of a new younger male into the household. I never was able to catch him doing it so correcting the behavior effectively was just not happening. I purchased a large scat mat and a large extention and placed them on either side of the coffee table leg that my dog had repeatedly urinated on. The first afternoon it was down, I noticed a few drops of urine on the mat, cleaned it up and waited. For several days no dog went near the area, then the old fella must have forgotten and revisited one more time. It has been over a week with no accidents anywhere in the house. Hurray! Hurray! A problem that I have been trying to catch and correct for several months is finally under control! I plan to leave the mats in place for a few months just to insure the lesson is reinforced if need be and the behavior does not begin again.
I really like this product and would highly recommend to anyone with a similar problem. For those of you who worry about using something intended to give a shock, this is a static shock, like when you shuffle across the carpet and then touch a doorknob. My husband forgot and three times stepped on it with his bare feet in the same night. He said that it was not painful just startling and bit unpleasant. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in the living room lately either (lol).

My Cat's too smart for the ScattMatt
Typically I don't write negative reviews and my experience with the scat mat wasn't successful.

First of all, I order the Scat Mat in the hopes of keeping my cat Kato off of our turtles enclosure. We have a large enclosure with a lid and window where we keep a Red Ear Slider. Routinely my cat sits on the enclosure and watches my turtle and occasionally will pounce on the glass, startling the turtle and send him back into the water.

We placed the scat mat right over the window so our cat would not sit on it or peer through it. Our cat learned his lesson and just moves the mat to the side by touching the points that are not electrified.

I'm not sure if my cat is especially bright or if this is a common occurrence. The mat now sits in a closet, useless.

Never received it!
I ordered this thing about a month ago and STILL haven't received it. My credit card has been charged and I received a "we're looking into it" email several weeks ago. Basically they took my money and gave me no product. To say I'm annoyed would be the understatement of the century.
