This has been wonderful. My cat would be so good around me and then do whatever he wanted when I was away. This has stopped that. I can just rotate it around the places he's not supposed to be and he's scared enough of them all now to know not to get up there.
Although the refills are expensive, it didn't take long for my cat to learn (about a bottle) and now I keep the second around just for good measure, so hopefully cost won't be too big of a deal long-term.

In the past several months, my 2 kittens seemed obsessed with getting behind my tv and entertainment unit. Nothing I did would deter them and I tried many things: using a deterrent spray that supposedly smelled bad to cats (the kittens loved it), double-stick tape (the kittens played with the tape), shaking a can of pennies (which they ignored totally) etc etc. I was at my wit's end and decided to try the Ssscat kit.
I set it up behind the TV without the cats seeing me... and then I waited for the inevitable. Sure enough, one kitten sauntered back there and PPSSSSHHHT! The kitten took off running. Not long after kitten #2 went back there -- with the same result.
That was pretty much all it took. While one kitten was braver (which resulted in spraying no. 2), within 1 day, the kittens seem to have utterly lost interest in going behind there. They aren't afraid of the area either, but just choose not to bother going back there.
This product is amazing. I'm planning on getting another to keep the cats off the counter-tops!
My only complaint is that it was a bit tricky to set up. I fastened the canister of air to the top and wasn't sure it was on at first. I had to take it off and put it back on before it would trigger. I think an indicator light showing it's on and the canister is set properly would be very useful.

In short, it's genius because:
- IT JUST WORKS.
- It does not harm the cat in any way
Only (minor) downside:
- People trigger it more often than the cat!
The full story:
Ok, so I have a lovely black cat. She purs. She plays. And she used to pee.
For 2 months after my boyfriend moved in, the cat peed EVERYWHERE. Anywhere he'd sit would be the next litter spot. She'd be litter trained without fault for 2 years, so that wasn't the issue.
Of course, I took her to the vet - twice. $200 a pop. The result? She's not sick. She's just jealous. Great.
It got to be so bad, that I would go do laundry of the couch cover, and before I got back in the living room, she'd already peed on the replacement. I tried scotch tape, I tried strong scent to deter her, I tried putting the litter next to the couch so she'd go there instead, adding another litter, changing the place of food...
A friend introduced me to the SSSCAT can. I was willing to try ANYTHING at that point (short of killing the cat or the boyfriend). And I now swear by it. The cat has NOT peed on any furniture since we've put it on the couches. Not on the carpet, not on the tables, not on the couch. NOWHERE.
SSSCAT, I love you. I owe you my life and my furniture.

I got this when I could take being woken up at 2 in the morning because my cat kept jumping up on the kitchen counter and knocking things over. I bought it about 2 months ago and it has retrained my cat completely. Now I can actually walk away from the dinner table or kitchen and let the SSSCat keep an eye out for me. It has a nice wide range and now just the sight of the little contraption is enough to ward away the cat from whatever trouble he is thinking about getting into. I also never had a problem moving it from one part of the house to another like some of the other reviewers because its been in constant use in at least 3 different rooms and has been a lifesaver.

i have a cat we adopted who pees in the corner by the back door. He ruined the hardwood there. I tried everything, boundary spray, putting a fan there, rubbing his face in it and spraying him with water...I was ready to bring him back to the shelter and this stuff saved him. Seriously I feel bad even saying that but i was at my wits end. This spray really does work and its humane. My cat jumped 5 feet in the air and did a backflip when he went near it.. I almost wish it had a camera attached ;-) it also deters them from the counter tops as well if your cats counter surf. The dog is scared of it too.
