Scat Pet Shock Mat with Tester Cat Figurine - Indoor Training Mat

In this review the Scat Pet Shock Mat with Tester is judged as a focused tool for pet owners who need a reliable way to keep cats and small to large dogs off furniture and counters; the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a built-in tester cat figurine and three selectable training modes that let owners tailor deterrence to each pet's temperament. The reviewer found it most useful for indoor boundary training where physical barriers are impractical and for households that want a nonpermanent, portable solution.

Key Features

• Tester Cat Figurine: the included tester serves as a safe way to check the mat and doubles as a decorative cat figure so users do not have to use their hands to test the circuit.
• Three Training Modes: Static, Tone, and Static + Tone let owners start with the combined beep and low pulse then step down to tone only as the pet learns, which eases training progression.
• Portable Battery Operation: powered by a single 9V battery so the mat can be placed anywhere indoors without plugging into a wall outlet and rolled up for storage.
• Durable PVC Construction: soft environment-friendly PVC and tighter detection lines improve long-term durability and detection efficiency compared with looser designs.
• Automatic Safety Cycle: the mat will go dormant for 200 seconds if a pet stays on it for 60 seconds, reducing continuous stimulation and protecting the animal.
• Easy to Clean: the surface wipes clean with a wet soft towel and the mat flattens by rolling inside out which simplifies maintenance.

Who It's For

This mat is best for pet owners who want a nonpermanent deterrent to protect couches, counters, beds, stairs, plant areas, fireplaces, or holiday decorations from curious cats or dogs. It is useful for households with multiple pets or where supervised training with progressive modes (Tone to Static + Tone) helps teach boundaries.

Owners who need a long-running, always-on deterrent without frequent battery changes or those uncomfortable with corrective static feedback should consider alternatives such as physical barriers or motion-activated deterrents; this mat relies on a 9V battery and has mixed customer reports on battery life and shock intensity.
