Can this detect cats? Could it distinguish cats from humans?

It all depends on the distance from the sensor to the object. Close up it would detect both. At a certain distance it would not detect cats but detect humans. I'm guessing that would be greater than 20' or 30' or so.

It should detect a cat moving in the field of view, since it is really sensitive. It can only detect motion, not determine what size the object is.

probably if the cat is within the sense field. Something to play with. I don't think that animate or inanimate items matter.

You can fine tune it to detect racoon size animals. It might work, as long the the spray is directed to the location where they are. On high, the jet is very powerful.

Yes! It recognizes up to 10 different microchips. Put it in programming mode, put a treat on the ledge and when your cat goes to investigate it will record the number. Mine has worked perfectly for 2 years now.

You need to be close. Sometimes the chips travel from their implant location and I have scanned animals along their coats and not found a chip because it had traveled away from the implant site. For this reason, I don't think it will locate a cat trapped between walls or buildings.

If it works on cats like it does on deer they will just be able to see better what they are doing. Maybe they will be quieter if they are preforming in front of a sexy red light.

I suspect YES. I have no direct experience with cats however. Big trick--I think--would be to train or tell the cat this is your Cat Box without the cat-litter. Good Luck.

From what I understand, cat's levels are not the same as humans. Their insulin is human, there is no cat insulin. While the cat glucometer is so much more expensive, I would not try to use one for people.

It might work on skunks. I've seen it detect a cat at close range. Generally, the smaller and slower the animal is, the less likely it will be detected. Thick fur and high ambient temperature are other factors that limit thermal detection. Works very well on people and deer, but not very well on cats.

Hi Randy,I think this tool would work really good on cats.I just tried the one i have on the little stray we have running around here.Now keep in mind that i have the one for Large dogs, but im pretty sure the smaller one will work also.I hope this helps

I guess it would depend on how sensitive your cat is. But for five bucks, it seems like ti might be worth a try.

Anything that moves within the sensor range will set off the alarm that is the whole point of a motion sensor. Yes it is sensitive to small animals, som cats are pretty big when they stretch out. So, my answer is yes, yes yes. good luck. You do have the option of pointing the sensor where the cants won't be if you have location in your home or garage like that. Hope this helps. PS I love the motion detectors over the window alarms as you can cover so much more space with one unit and easier to install.

Yes. My daughter used a similar device to groom animals at a primate breeding facility in Florida. Should work on cats just fine.

Don't know about cats, but it sure works to help quiet my dogs. I only use it when they are being extra noisy, as my Collie is supersensitive to it and it makes her too nervous.

Great question Tom! I bet a cat could figure out this touchpad and then probably even watch something like"Alien Cats, Fact or Fiction" on Discovery. They love that kind of brain teaser stuff for felines. Actually Tom, I guess it would depend on where you put it. If they could walk on it, they could turn it on.Remote.... don't think with that, as it has a power button! Enjoy!

I never thought to use it on my cats. I would imagine that it does. I am going to try it!

Yes. You can tag two cats and search for them independently. The device you use to search for the tags allows you to have up to four separate tags.

When my cat was microchiped (I'm in Australia) I received a number from the vet, also if you take your cat to the vet they will probably be able to scan and tell you the number, apart from that you don't need to know the number for this device you just put the cat's head thru with the 'read' settings on. I have had mine for about 6 months or so and it is a complete success haven't changed batteries and no problems. It does make a sort of loud click sound which might at first put you cat off, but in no time they get used to it.
