Our beloved feline—Michael Jackson, a robust little “tortie” whose hobbies include killing birds and breaking hearts—has a terrible habit of walking all over our kitchen counter. Since we don’t want litter paws on the cutting board, we’ve tried all sorts of methods to curb her behavior; the spray bottle, tin foil, violent beatings stern lectures, but nothing seems to work. So it’s time to bring out the big (air) guns: SSCAT™!

SSCAT™ has two elements: a motion detector and an aerosol can. It will detect the cat’s motion and will release a spray. Once this is repeated a few times, the SSSCAT will keep the cat away from unwanted areas.

Oh, yes. If you doubt its cat-blasting awesomeness, YouTube has plenty of hilarious clips of the SSCAT™ in action. Here, here, and especially here. Granted, it’s probably a little traumatizing for the felines, but right now we’re ready to try just about anything. Sorry kitty.
