CATSCAT
is an effective and environmentally safe deterrent for cats. Most
gardeners, especially those with smaller gardens suffer damage
caused by cats. Freshly cultivated areas are prime targets for
digging and fouling. Beds, window boxes and pot plants all contain
the soft earth that cats love. Cats hate CATSCAT.
Treated areas are no longer a soft option - the cat goes elsewhere.
Application is quick and easy.

Each mat, complete with flexible plastic spikes,
is cut into four pieces and covered lightly with soil. The spikes
are harmless to cats and other animals, but are effective in discouraging
excavation. Each pack contains 5 mats, which are approximately
20 x 16 cm (8” x 6”) and each mat cuts into 4 pieces
10 x 8 cm (4” x 3”). Depending on usage, each pack
will cover up to 3 sq. metres.
CATSCAT is perfectly safe to use in most places. However,
use wisely and avoid areas where young children play and where
cats may jump directly from a height.

Organic gardeners can also benefit from CATSCAT.
New seedlings can now be protected from your chickens scratching,
without having to fence off delicate areas.
CATSCAT, established in 1991, is
a family run, family owned business and, like most inventions,
its mother was necessity, or, "I've got a problem with cats
digging up my garden!"
Brought about through healthy 'after dinner' type
discussion, it was seen as the best way to keep our beloved pets
off our beloved plants.
Various ideas were thrown around, but most appeared to be lacking
in some way or were not particularly eco-friendly even when they
claimed to be. What we were looking for was a something that would
act as a cat deterrent, but not harm them, would be difficult
for our feline friends to push out of the way, would last a few
years, was durable and also weather-proof. Most of all, it had
to be effective.
The result is CATSCAT!
Frequently Asked questions
Q. Can Catscat be used to
protect lawns?
A. Yes, but as the ground is often harder than with
flower beds and veggies patches, Catscat may need some extra anchorage
to keep it in place. Our customers have suggested that tent pegs
or staples help solve this.
Q. Does Catscat work with scrub turkeys?
A. Catscat has not been tested by us, as a method
to stop scrub turkeys from scratching and digging, but a few customers
have found it useful. Again extra anchoragemay be needed to hold
the Catscat in place as the turkey's claws are very strong.
Q. My dog digs holes in my garden, will
catscat help?
A. Cat Scat can be an effective dog deterrent but
it depends on the size of the holes that are dug and the habits
of the dog. If a large dog is determined to dig through to the
other side of the world, then it may dig under the Cat scat and
dislodge it. Again extra anchorage may be required. If the dog
digs in particular areas, then it is possible to block off access
to that area by using Catscat.
Q. My neighbours cats walk along my fence
and knock off pots that I keep on a ledge there, will Catscat
help?
A. Catscat has been modified successfully by our
customers. If the fence is wide enough Catscat can be stapled
to the top of the fence and used as a barrier. Other customers
have attached Catscat to wooden boards which are then nailed to
the top of fences as a repellant.
Q. Cats are catching all the fish from
my pond, will catscat help.
A. Yes, Catscat can be placed straight into the
soil around the pond, if there is any or modified to adapt to
your requirements.
Others uses of Catscat and feedback from our customers:
Cat Scat can be placed in houseplant pots to stop
cat as them as an indoor toilet.
Catscat can be stapled to plywood to make a temporary
night time barrier. An example of this barrier was used to stop
cat from getting close to an aviary at night, this barrier is
moved in the daytime.Catscat can be attached to window sills,
roofs, railway arches and pipes to deter pigeons, possums, cockatoos,
foxes etc.
Catscat has been attached to tree trunks successfully
to act as a deterrent for cats climbing. I believe this could
also stop squirrels, possums and lizards etc from climbing down
the tree, so may or may not be suitable in all environments.
Cat scat can also be used as a deterrent for chickens
and ducks, rabbits to stop digging and scratching.
