Has anyone tried this with cats? Can they hear it? I have 2 cats who occasionally fight. I need something to momentarily divert their attention.

I know it works with horses and dogs so I presume it will do the same for cats.

Cats don't seem to even hear it. Or they are very good at ignoring it. Didn't even bother any of my 3 when I used it on the dog.

it worked on my male cat not my females though they would just walk up and lick it

Doesn't work on my female. I use it for my dog and it does work - he looks around the room and is quiet - the cat is in the same room and she doesn't react at all.

Oops! Just noticed that this was a question and not an ad...sorry, but I have not used this product for that purpose, but I wonder if it might help to spray it on a cloth near the door to help calm the cat down so it wouldn't be so persistent? Small old wash cloths or hand towels come in real handy in order to spray them instead of surfaces--and you can move them to various locations, saving the use of the spray. I would spray it intermittently in the area the cat is in during the day (I spray it on the edge of each cat bed and near where they eat--also in the living room in strategic locations you might try spraying it outside the door your cat is scratching as well , taking care to avoid spraying it where they might get it on their fur and lick it off). I sprayed it on the a blanket inside a crate when I took one of my stressed cats to the vet, and they used pheromones when she arrived, and she was affectionately writhing around, allowing the vet and technicians do anything they wanted with her! The vet tech just loved her because she was soooooo cooperative. This is a cat who will not let anyone lay eyes on her, no less touch her, when they visit my house! Hope this helped.~

I have no idea. Cats don't bark, do they? I use it on a small dog at work and it DOES work. Just curious why you'd need it for a cat..

I'm pretty sure it can help with that, mine is outdoors, my neighbor's cat kept coming to my backyard and peeing there, it has really worked to stop that. I use a higher frequency than 1 and still can't hear it. :)

I have a blind cat, and she does go after toys like this. Whether it is air motion that tips her off, or a sound that cats can hear with their more acute hearing, I do not know...but even silent dangle toys attract her to play and get them accurately.

It seems to vary in effectiveness depending on the individual cat. It works wonders for ours, but I know it hasn't worked at all for others. I'd definitely give it a try, though. We spent over a grand trying to calm down our cat after we moved out of state, and this was finally the only thing that worked.

I found that the cat(s) experience is so disturbing, they avoid the area it was on. You may initially need to re-train by putting it back on now & then...but not often.

It doesn't make any noise by itself. HOWEVER, if you kind of jiggle it quickly it ends up looking and *sounding* like a medium to large insect having trouble flying, as if it's wings are flailing around and hitting things. That got my cats (all three of them--5 month kitten, 3 years old, and 7 years old) going crazy. They loved it even before I did that though.

I think a blind dog would be ok with this unit. I have two cats and a Dog, all enjoy it very much. It took them a short while to get used to slight hum (to my ears, something new). Must change it when it says (weekly) or it gets slightl musty smell.

It makes a piercing sound and a light goes off --I think it would REALLY scare a cat. I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I'd try a pet supply site to see if they carry something a little more animal-friendly.

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.

Not at all! If you wave these babies in front of the cat, she is going to bat them all to %#$@ ...... Keep them to yourself, treat them nicely and they will reward you with beautiful sound!

I have two dogs, a Great Dane and a Shi-tzu. Neither are bothered by the sound. They don't even notice it. So, I am confident to say it doesn't harm cats or dogs.

Cats cannot hear it, but I have wondered about their delicate sensitive nerves though. I don't know if I am imagining it or not, but they do seem to be obsessively cleaning. I use Revolution so they don't have fleas. I need further study.

I've got two cats, the first time or two they were a tad cautious around it. After that they pretty much ignored it, I think its the higher frequency noise that standard vacuum makes that tend to freak cats out, the lower frequency of the neato doesn't seem to bother them. I noticed my larger cat stalking the neato earlier while it was cleaning, didn't stick around to watch, but, there were no indignent howls or screeches and the neato finished the room w/o mishap.

Hmmm - Now I do hear a sound - but it is a high-pitched 'swish' to me and may not be audible to everyone. For cats, the sound is in the 'ultra-sonic range' (above human audibility but audible to cats) and it's obvious they can hear it because this thing has been doing its job for me for the past year against some very, very stubborn neighbor cat(s). The red indicator light flashes at the same time its ultrasonic audio triggers. It seems to flash again in less than 60 seconds - maybe 30 seconds since it seems to trigger with every grocery bag I carry past it from the car! That is one reason I ordered the plug-in power supply (batteries only lasted a few weeks in my situation).

All 3 of my cats have absolutely zero interest in the snuggle pad. Other reviewers have stated that their cats love it, so I think it entirely depends on the individual cat(s) but I doubt the pad would demand enough interest to spark a fight.
