counters, or out of selected rooms. ScatMat emits a mild, harmless static pulse when

"I love my cat. I would never do anything to hurt him. Now having made that statement, this mat provides me the opportunity for behavior modification without pain. When I first read over the directions they seemed easy enough but for the real show I went on to the company website and looked at the movies. I didn't even think about what my cat does at night while I'm sleeping: walk on countertops, lick drippings from the stove, and even go into garbage can. Nothing is sacred to a cat. This ScatMat is essentially a plastic mat with battery operated exposed wires, so that when the cat steps on it, it will emit a small electric charge that surprises the cat. Let me tell you... I touched the wire! I was surprised! I will not lick the stove again. The mat is placed in the access area to the objectionable behavior, cat steps on the mat; finds it objectionable and doesn't do it again. Simple. It works with cats and dogs and has 3 levels of surprise for the size of the animal."
