Default Cat Scarers

Thinking about getting a cat scarer, the ones that emit a sound inaudible
to us, but which cats can hear.
Have any of you had one? Do they work?

Thanks in advance

A somewhat iffy address but I'll I'll assume you are genuine ....

I have bought 2 static plus a hand-held ultrasonic cat "scarers".

They do seem to work - we haven't had much cat activity in the garden
for some time. A couple of observations:

1. If battery powered, you do need to make sure to replace the batteries
:-)

2. They are directional - make sure they point in the right direction!

3. Moggies aren't entirely stupid - they do learn. So, if your local
moggies have multiple access routes and options for wandering through
your garden, then you need to move the cat scarers every month or so.

4. Our garden is very enclosed, with fences, rambling roses, shrubs,
etc. There are very few routes for moggies into the garden. In these
circumstances, I think the scarers work pretty well. If your
garden/allotment has more open access then I guess it will be more
difficult - you'll need more scarers and need to move them around more.

5. I bought the first one from the RSPB - a bit pricey but seems to
work. I bought a 2nd static plus a handheld on-line (not the site to
which you refer and I entirely agree with your attitude to the poster on
that site - stuff him!). Can't remember who but I think it was the same
company who supply RSPB but bought direct.

6. Many white cats are congenitally (?) deaf (which shows that many cat
breeders know as much about breeding cats as Crufts and dog breeders
know about breeding dogs). If your particular problem is a white moggy,
you may find that ultrasonic scarers don't work ....

7. The hand-held ones are quite useful if a moggy makes if past the
static scarers and you spot it. Most leave very rapidlly :-)

Yes, many white cats are deaf, so the scarer will not work on them, but you
are hardly likely to have lots of white deaf cats in your garden, are you?
I take exception to your opinion about cat & dog breeders and more so about
Cruft's judges.
You know a Cruft's judge personally? I do, and she has the highest ethics
in the world otherwise she would not be my best friend.

Anyone with high ethics would have resigned from being a Craft's judge
years ago when it became public knowledge that the organisation
supported the long term in-breeding of animals.

There's a lot of money to be made from breeding deformed dogs and
showing them. I feel heartily sorry for the snuffling wretches.

Or you stay with it and try to change things from the inside.

Not really. Most money is made by puppy farmers which is a different
matter all together.

Cats being territorial, I was making the specific point that, in this
case, if the nuisance is a white cat (which was not specified), an
ultrasonic scarer might be a waste of money.

I didn't say anything about Crufts judges and have no doubt that many of
them are responsible and ethical people ....

However, if dog and cat breeders are so good and ethical, why do so many
breeds have problems with congenital diseases - like white cats being
deaf, red setters having hip problems, bull dogs having breathing
difficulties, etc?

And why do (did?) Crufts breed standards require dogs to be mutilated?
