What is PetSafe SSSCAT Motion Activated Automatic Spray Pet Deterrent?
Teach your pet boundaries simply and safely with PetSafe® SSSCAT® Spray Deterrent. If your cat likes to play on your kitchen countertops or if your dog tends to sneak into the trash can, use SSSCAT® spray deterrent to teach them to avoid off-limits areas around your home. When your pet is within 3 feet of the spray deterrent, the motion-activated sensor detects your pet’s movements and releases a quick burst of spray.

Each SSSCAT® spray can contains up to 120 bursts of spray. When your current can is empty, simply purchase a SSSCAT® Replacement Can. Trust PetSafe® to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

How does PetSafe SSSCAT Spray Deterrent work?
The PetSafe® SSSCAT® unit uses infrared to monitor movement up to 3 ft. away. It detects movement through changes in temperature and sends a quick, safe spray to startle your pet. Your pet quickly learns to avoid areas that are off-limits. The spray is odorless and safe; however, it is a sufficient stimulus to deter pets from jumping on countertops, digging in trash or entering restricted areas. It is effective for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. The SSSCAT® unit works by sensing differences in temperatures. It may not work properly if it is placed too close to a heat source (dishwasher, heating vent), or if your long-haired pet is very cold. For best results, the unit should be placed in an area where the temperature is between 60 °F and 80 °F. As a reference, a cat’s normal body temperature is about 103 °F and a dog’s normal body temperature is about 102 °F. For use indoors only.
Caution:
The Spray Deterrent is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its pet avoidance purpose. The PetSafe® SSSCAT® unit must be used only on healthy pets. Petsafe recommends that you take your pet to a veterinarian before using the unit if he is not in good health.

PetSafe SSSCAT Spray Deterrent Directions:
- For complete instructions, please refer to the guide included with the product.
- Step 1 - INSERT THE BATTERIES -Slide open the battery door on the top of the motion detector unit. Insert 4 AAA batteries (not included). Replace the battery door.
- Step 2 - LOCK THE UNIT - With the switch set to off (“O” position), place the motion detector unit on top of the spray can and firmly pull down the locking ring until it clicks in place. To detach the motion detector unit, push the locking ring up and pull the unit off the spray can.
- Step 3 - ADJUST THE DIRECTION - To avoid a direct spray to your pet’s face, adjust the vertical direction of the spray to one of 3 positions by pushing the nozzle up or down. Adjust the horizontal direction of the motion sensor to one of 5 positions by turning it to the right or left.
- Step 4 - TEST THE SSSCAT UNIT - Turn the SSSCAT® unit on by sliding the switch to the left (“I” position), and wait about 2 minutes for it to normalize. You can test it by waving your hand from side to side in front of it.
- Step 5 - CHOOSE A LOCATION - Place the SSSCAT® unit near an area that you would like your pet to avoid, such as a trash can or a doorway. Choose a location where the temperature is between 60 °F and 80 °F. To prevent false activations, do not place the unit in direct sunlight or in close proximity to HVAC vents, or point the sensor toward a wall or an object that is in direct sunlight or in close proximity to HVAC vents. Position the unit for the pet to pass the sensor instead of walking directly towards it. The spray range is about 39 in. from the unit.
- Step 6 - CARE AND CLEANING - Turn the unit off by sliding the switch to the right (“O” position) before cleaning it. Use a cloth with warm, soapy water to clean the nozzle monthly. Do not submerge the unit under water.
