I bought this in Nov. 2006 and it was FANTASTIC. I had a cat visiting my porch and tormenting my indoor cat. He was clawing and cutting my screens and making us BOTH crazy! The CatStop did the trick, keeping not only him away, but all the neighborhood cats far out of my yard. I'd know when the battery had died because he'd suddenly show up again. But recently it's had less of an effect and I notice that the unit does not react to the full range of angles it once did, even though I've never moved the unit from its original spot. It used to react to the slightest movement and now I have to get right up on it before it goes off. I'm in contact with the vendor to see if they will replace the unit since they say they offer a two-year warranty.

I bought this unit to keep a neighbor's cat from pooping in my kids' sandbox. It may have worked for a little while, but then the battery died after about two weeks (a single 9-volt doesn't seem to have the energy to power this for very long if there is much activity in you backyard), and the cat came back. I replaced the battery with a home-made 9-V replacement consisting of 6 1.5-V AA cells in a PVC pipe with a 9-V compatable connector, and now it seems to have lots of juice, but apparently the unit lost its scare factor when the original battery went bad and I have now found fresh poop in the sand about 2 feet in front of the fully functional unit. As a result, I cannot recommend this unit.

I purchased this product to help with keeping my cats out of a flower bed and a few other spots (sandbox, swingset play area) where they were doing thier "business". It has done a good job with keeping them out. My only issue is that this it seems to work better with our younger cats (1 1/2) than the older ones (8 and 7), but it annoys the older ones enough to keep them away. I am looking at getting a few more (we bought two) to cover all of my problem areas around the house. I would recommend to others.

I tried everything on the market, even tried what wasn't on the market.My garden was the neighborhood kitty litter...It has only been out two days, but now when I open my window, and I can open it now without being gagged from the urine and feces smell. I think it is a great invention, now have to buy another one to protect the other garden
Thanks

We did everything we were supposed to do and purchased two for our front lawn to triangulate the coverage. We tried it out on our cats first (the goal was to keep neighbor cats from hanging out under the bird feeder looking for an easy meal) - our cats had no interest or care or concern but our dog was TERRIFIED and hated it.
Great.
We gave it a go anyway - and one of them got a nasty whitish something or other all in the battery compartment and stopped working rather quickly. They run through batteries in no time and plugging it in is ridiculous for us unless we want to run a wire across our lawn.
Complete waste of money for us. Don't make the same mistake.
