Cats are naturally curious, especially when you turn your back and they think a stroll along the kitchen worktop might lead to a tasty snack. They are so agile that nothing ever seems to be beyond their reach. However for the sake of hygiene, they need to be deterred safely and humanely.

The PetSafe spray deterrent Ssscat monitors movement up to 1 metre away. When your pet is detected, the spray deterrent triggers a short burst of spray from the canister to startle it off the boundary. The spray is odourless, safe, and sufficient to deter pets from jumping on kitchen worktops, digging in rubbish bins or entering restricted areas. It is effective for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds.

The product has up to 100 sprays before refill is needed, and operates on 4 AAA batteries which are not included in delivery.
