Ssscat, the Most Amusing Way to Train Your Cats
Over on Apartment Therapy LA last week, a reader asked for advice on how to get her cat to stop using her screen door as its own personal climbing gym. I had a similar problem in my last apartment, but never figured out how to keep my kitties from clawing their way up and down the screen. In most cases it was an attempt to catch a bug on the other side, so I couldn't really be that mad.
Reader comments on the ATLA post varied from helpful, Sticky Paws, to not so helpful, "de-claw," but our fave solution was one involving a product that hacks together a motion sensor with compressed air. Luckily, YouTube has collected homemade videos of this, seemingly effective, solution in action. A roundup after the jump.
Haha! I may need to get one for next to our bedroom door. The cats have been meowing and scratching at the door again at night and in the morn…
If you do it you have to record the action!
Oh my god, we totally have to get one of these. I can’t see where to buy on their site, though; are they retail only somewheres?
@Eric: I couldn’t find anything about buying on their site either, but I did find it on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Premier-SSSCAT-Automated-Cat-Deterrent-Kit/dp/B0002XI7CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s;=home-garden&qid;=1267576574&sr;=8-1). Adding the link to the post as well. I’m just going to keep repeating this…FILM IT!
