How it works
1. Internal sensors detect the
warm body of the cat as it
enters into the CatStop’s
field of view.
2. The unit triggers a 3 second
ultrasonic burst of sound.
3. A red light indicates
that the CatStop! unit has
been triggered.
2
Why it Works
1. Unlike many pest deterrents that operate continuously,
the CatStop unit waits for the animal to come into its
range before activating, thereby creating a more
startling
effect.
2. Powerful burst of ultrasonic sound startles the cat.
3. The cat equates the location with the unpleasant
occurrence.
4. The cat avoids the location in the future.

Lens
Speaker
•
Place the CatStop so it will have a clear view of the area you
are protecting; objects in front of the unit will prevent
triggering and block sound.
•
Point the curved lens at the front of the unit toward the area
to be protected.
•
Avoid pointing the CatStop at high traffic areas, like side
walks and roads or towards plants that may move in the
wind. This will cause the CatStop to activate frequently and
could wear down the battery. Alternatively, you can use the
CatStop with the Contech AC adapter.
