There is a Canadian company selling this device which emits a noise and a
jet of inert gas to deter cats from certain areas, particularly countertops,
etcetera. Does anyone know if this device is worth the forty or fifty
dollars it costs? I live in a house with several male cats making definite
pests of themselves and we are getting fed up and wish to keep them off the
kitchen counters, which they have been fouling with their urine spraying.
Aside from getting a border collie and teaching him that his  holy life's
calling is keeping all cats out of the kitchen(which would be MY personal
choice) we need advice on whether this SSSCAT device is worth buying. We
previously set mousetraps (upside down) on the countertop, but that isn't an
ideal solution- the cat's learn to tiptoe around the traps and it is a chore
setting eight mousetraps every night- also, they cannot be easily deployed
during hours when the kitchen is needed for preparing food. Any  help will
be appreciated. Mike.
