The Cat Stop keeps cats out of your flower gardens, yard or anywhere you don't
want them to be.
It's easy to use. Place the unit facing the area you want to protect. The
built-in motion sensor detects the animal entering the area and emits a
piercing, high decibel alarm. It startles the cat and frightens it away. Since
the sound is ultrasonic you and your neighbors cannot hear it. It operates for
up to nine months on one standard 9 volt battery. Battery life estimate is
based upon 4900 activations spread over 245 days at an average of 20 per day.
The Cat Stop protects about 330 square feet (20 feet or 6m in front of the
unit in an 80 degree arc). There are no controls or adjustments. Simply install
the battery and position in your garden.
Why It Works
The CatStop is an effective cat deterrent because:
A powerful burst of ultrasonic sound startles the cat.
The cat equates the location with the unpleasant occurrence.
The cat avoids the location in the future.
Unlike many pest deterrents that operate continuously, the CatStop unit waits
for the animal to come into its range before activating, thereby creating a more
startling effect.
Testimonials
"CAT WARS! One man's frontline battle report by Wayne Schmidt.
In the article he reports on cat repellents tested to keep cats out of a yard
including both Scarecrows and Cat Stops. "I set up three of the ultrasonic
repellers on one side of my yard and two of the water jet repellers on the other
to see which is more effective at keeping cats out of my yard. After a week of
use both have been 100 percent effective... I am happy to announce that the CAT
WARS are officially over and I was victorious.

cat has been sighted since installation. Great stuff!!"

"Happily, since mounting the Cat Stop unit on the ceiling of
our carport, cats paw tracks have become a thing of the past. We mounted the Cat
Stop so that it is aimed down at an angle from the middle of the cars roof
towards the radiator - the sensor "looks" at the windshield and hood. During the
last few years the almost daily "surprise" of dirt (mud in wet weather) across
the hood, up the windshield and over the roof had become increasingly annoying.
During 2? months in use we experienced only a single re-occurrence at about week
3, but are now confident the problem is gone so long as we use the unit. Once
more it's great to just drive in and out. We never touch the Cat Stop; it's
always left turned on and mounted in it's position above where we park and it
does it's job of chasing the cats without any further action on our parts.
Someday we will have to replace the battery, but not yet and the price of the
unit and batteries is more than worth the results; no applying and removing
covers each time we use the car and washing them when they became too dirty. We
can even wash the car and have it stay clean for more than an overnight. We are
very pleased with the products performance."

"Hello- I contacted your firm directly to ask a number of
questions about your products. I have been suffering with several neighborhood
cats that like to jump on my brand-new car. You answered my questions carefully
and thoroughly. Checking on the local laws, cats can roam free, and it's a
serious crime to harm them, even superficially. That eliminated my friends'
advice for even relatively harmless things like peashooters. So, short of
building a garage (I rent, so that's not an option), I thought that my only
choice was to set up a motion detector and scare the cats away whenever they
showed up. And it was almost always at night. So for weeks I had been awakened
several times every night when the motion detector alarmed in my bedroom. I had
to jump out of bed, run to the carport and bang on a pot to scare the animals.
It was awful. I did a search and from there I found the ScareCrow as well. I set up the ScareCrow in the yard in
front of the hood of the car. The cats generally come from that direction. I
also set up a Cat Stop near the front of the car and another near the rear.
After experimenting with the array for the best coverage, I finally set things
up correctly last Sunday morning. And for the first time in weeks, the motion
detector has not awakened me. My car has no muddy footprints to wash repeatedly,
and I have eliminated the risk of sandy cat feet scratching my new auto's paint
job. While it's only the first five nights since I set things up, I am greatly
encouraged. Thanks for making such wonderful and humane products. They work as
advertised, and so far, 100% of the time. But if they don't, I guess the last
line of defense will be the ScatMat-one for the hood and another for the trunk.
Good to know I can still call on you again if needed."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Cat Stop work?
A: The CatStop has a built in motion sensor that detects any animal that
comes into it?s range of view. When activated it emits an extremely loud, but
high pitched, noise that only cats can hear. This loud noise effectively
startles them away. (Output details: 124 db at one foot, frequency is 21-25 kh)
Q: What size area does it cover?
A: Approx 330 sq feet. Measured 20 feet from unit at a pitch of 12
degrees and 80 degrees across.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: Under average use, a good quality alkaline batter should last
approximate 8 to 9 months.
Q: Is it easy to assemble?
A: Yes! CatStop assembly requires absolutely no tools. Simply snap the
stake onto the main unit. (two stakes are included so you can use the CatStop at
varying heights. If you choose, you can also easily mount your CatStop on a
wall, fence or post).
Q: Is it weather proof?
A:Yes! The CatStop is weather proof and can be left outdoors in all
conditions. Please note that battery life may be diminished under colder
temperatures.
Q: Does the CatStop work on other animals?
A: The CatStop has been specifically designed to the hearing range of
cats. It has not been designed to deter other animals such as raccoons, deer,
birds, rats, etc. However the Scarecrow works on a variety of animals.
