Contech SKMC411 ScatMat Automatic Indoor Pet Training Mat, Large

This touch-sensitive training mat quickly conditions pets to avoid prohibited areas with harmless, low-power electronic pulses similar to static electricity. Use the mat to protect furniture, keep cats off the countertop or hood of a car, or to block doorways. When touched, the battery sends small pulses to the mat for three seconds. These surprising little "zaps" quickly repel most pets who stay away after one or two exposures--even after the mat is removed. Veterinarian approved, the mat works when all else fails. Use in conjunction with normal training techniques and surface cleaning.

The safe, low-voltage battery-operated system can be used anywhere, and it runs day and night for up to six months or 10,000 activations on a single 9-volt battery. With three intensity levels (low, medium, high), the mat is suitable for any sized cat or dog. An activity sensor blinks a count showing how many times the mat has been stepped on since it was last turned on, which helps to determine when pets have learned to avoid the area. In addition, the mat provides silent operation as to correct unwanted behavior without disturbing other pets or people in the home. Made from clear flexible vinyl, the mat contours to surfaces and rolls for storage. It can also be used in conjunction with extension mats (sold separately) to economically increase the area covered. The large pet training mat measures 20 by 48 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.
