Review on Ley's Scat Mat for Cats: Powerful Indoor/Outdoor Cat Deterrent with Spikes by Angelica Boiter

Okay, to be honest, my older cat is almost terribly smart. Brilliant even. I'm relatively sure if his legs were longer he could easily pull away in our car and probably drive better than me. In 30 years of constant cat ownership, there was not a single cat that even came close to her in IQ. Luckily he's also very cute, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here to write this. So keep this in mind - your cat probably isn't that crazy smart, and be thankful for that. Unfortunately, he is also a morning cat. , and since he's (maybe?) half-Siamese, he's very, very vocal. And big. Like 17 pounds of pure muscle. It might not sound like much, but having a screeching alarm clock on your chest at 5:30 a.m. while 17 pounds of high-C register hop can be a screaming anvil, too. So the stairs. Our bedroom is in the attic and there are a dozen steps to get there. We bought them with great expectations. We were a little disappointed to see how few of those things were actually included, but it still felt like it was enough to get things done. To be on the safe side, we thought we'd try a test run before bed. So we put them in - with weird only 4 suction cups, which doesn't even make sense because you need at least two for each one - but oh well. He sniffed it, gave us the bored "Really?" The expression I've never seen on a cat (and everyone has at least one) bit into a corner and yanked. then the same with the rest. It took him just 90 seconds to remove all 16 screens, after which he climbed the stairs without even looking back. It was actually a bit awkward. The intelligence of the other three cats ranges from moderately smart to completely idiotic. With the exception of our handsome jerk, they've all found a way around them. First, it's pretty easy to step over them - these things aren't enough to stop that from happening. They don't even have to be big cats like our genius overlord. My teenage cat (you know what I mean) was a hungry kitten when we found her. As a result, her growth was stunted and her legs slightly crooked. A wonderful cat, but she has a bad habit of biting off the heads of the flowers my (amazing) partner buys me. I figured these would probably work. I surrounded the vase with these and other items. She gave us "Really?" cat face and easily climbed my weak obstacle course, resting her front paws on the small inevitable gap around the vase and intentionally biting off the head of a tulip. scream out loud), but $17 is already a ridiculous sum for prickly, inefficient plastic. I'm pretty damn sure I'm not gonna make $34. To be honest, it worked for my wonderful but definitely stupid older cat, but the same goes for matchboxes, so it's not much of an endorsement. But if you don't want to string a lot of small items together and your cute cat is also an empty jerk, maybe this will work. matchboxes. So yes. no I do not recommend this. Especially at a ridiculous price point, ineffective pointy screens, and an annoying lack of suction cups.
