I don't have a cat, but I don't see any reason a cat would be afraid of the product. It is basically a light, which attracts fleas, suspended over a sticky pad.

My cats looked at is with curious suspicion when they first saw it but quickly got over that and never gave it a second look. It worked great in my home!

My cat doesn't even act like it's there. It is fairly unobtrusive. It poses no risk and works very well.

Since this makes no noise kitties will just ignore it. I have four cats, and they never showed any fear or interest.

It's not labeled as "laced" with cat nip but I swear there's something up with it. The response from one of my cats towards this mouse is best described "freakish", almost scary. With cat nip they seem happy and laid back rolling in it. With this toy they become almost possessive with huge dilated eyes catching it and holding it still and covering it with their paws until the other cats go away. Then she would try to run with it with me still holding the stick. She was holding it so tight I was afraid thought it was stuck in her mouth.

I bought mine to use it on my cat, but as soon as I try to get it close to my cat, she jumps out of my arms. The sound scares her. So unless you have a really calm cat , I wouldn't recommend this. Mine is brand new I don't use it. Or should I say my cat won't let me use it.

It calms them down, but a lot of cat behavior is habitual once they start doing it. You might have to retrain the cat once the nervousness is gone. get a water pistol and use it.

it scares one of my cats and the other one just sits on it trying to figure out where the noise is coming from

All cats want to go outside but once out they are out, they are frightened. Put the harness on a bit every day, then outside a bit everyday. They will adjust but remember a cat does what they want. The younger you start the better

I am sure my cats can hear this, and they also caution you, the human, to not stand close to it either for the outdoor device I have. I have noticed a reaction with my cats.

Laura is correct. The unit works because the cats are frightened by the loud and unexpected sound. If left in the same location for a long period, some cats lose their fear and will ignore the unit.To make the unit effective again, put it away for a while or relocate it. Also, try combining it with an unfamiliar sensation like tin foil or saran wrap.

No. Unless your cats hits the window fairly hard it will will scare him. It's a good item

One of my cats is deathly afraid of what is going on and the other is mesmerized.

a birds instinct is to fly up when scared. My parakeets and cockatiels are rarely in the cage when I clean it, but my canary is terrified of the outside. He ALWAYS flies up. the doors are so large that I usually just roll the paper towels up and put new ones in using the doors.

I tried this with my 5# Pommi. She was scared because it moved and pads were not secure. It was useless for us. I don't know about cats. The pads are a different story.

It depends on the cat. A real feral cat might want to see what might be approaching. Try facing the Tube away from the wind or putting it in a sheltered spot. I think as long as there is a good escape path the barrier would be fine. Good luck

I used it on my cat when i had to shave her leg when she hurt it. dogs should be easy since they generally have coarser hair. it will scare them a little because it is not the quietest tool around but once they see it does not hurt, they calm down... at least my cat learned to ignore it. turn it on away from them because it makes a crack sound when it turns on.

Well, my cat likes the "krinkly" noise. But I wouldn't say its noisy enough to scare a cat away. My cat is 7 yrs old and sleeps in it now. I think it's a friendly noise and intrigues them.

The reviews I had read vary with cats. But mine HATES it! Even more than the dog! lol
