Catwatch helps to protect gardens & birds from cats all year round
Following the largest study of its kind ever undertaken in the UK, CATWatch is now the only cat deterrent scientifically tested and recommended by The Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds (RSPB).
What are the first questions likely to be when you consider buying an electronic cat deterrent?
Does it work? Can you prove it?
Well, the answer to these questions is YES!!
CATWatch, the UK's leading cat deterrent, has successfully completed a two-year scientific trial conducted by the RSPB to determine its deterrent effect on cats in residential gardens.
The results are published in the Applied Animal Behaviour Science Journal after peer review.
The research concluded that CATWatch reduces cat intrusions into gardens. The longer the unit is in place, the more effective it is.
So....now you are faced with a choice. Some units are cheaper, but may be less durable, less effective and cover a smaller area. CATWatch, on the other hand, is built to last, is a more cost-effective deterrent, proven to work AND recommended by the RSPB. It also comes with a 2-year guarantee and has been on the market since 1993.
Which one would you choose?
CATWatch has been bought by thousands of people throughout the world and yet fewer than 1% of all people who buy CATWatch return it for refund or exchange. The fact is, CATWatch comes with a 2 year product warranty so you can buy with complete confidence.
Progressively reduces cat intrusions within your garden
Many people find cat-fouling a nuisance. This device is proven to reduce the presence of cats in gardens and the deterrent effect increases over time. Put simply, CATWatch actually trains cats to stay away from your garden.
CATWatch does this by emitting a unique ultrasonic alarm, triggered by the cat's movement and body heat as soon as it enters the protected area.
Inaudible to humans
The series of CATWatch alarm frequencies are set above the human hearing range so you can enjoy your garden in complete peace and tranquillity.
Protects up to twice the area of other cat deterrents
One CATWatch unit will protect an area of up to 1,350 sq. ft. - up to twice the area of other makes. Furthermore, many other deterrents simply emit a random or permanent ultrasound signal regardless of whether a cat is present or not. That's why many people who have tried other cat deterrents eventually choose CATWatch.
Works in all weather conditions
CATWatch is designed to run trouble free all year round and in all weather conditions from -30 C to + 60 C. The low voltage computer controlled micro circuitry is completely sealed inside the unit, so that in the unlikely event of water entering inside, it will still continue to function and be absolutely safe to touch.
Set your garden free of chemicals and barriers
No one really wants to cover their borders or garden ponds with unsightly netting to protect them from someone else's cat! And probably every gardener has tried the pricey alternative chemical products.
Apart from being messy, they need constant re-application and their success rate at keeping cats at bay is
inconsistent at best.
Easy to use
CATWatch can be moved and positioned at ground level in seconds or secured at the base of walls, fences
and trees. Simply clip in a battery or use the optional mains adaptor kit, then switch on and relax.
Sold worldwide since 1993
CATWatch sells all over the world, because it works and keeps on working totally unobtrusively, making it far more cost effective and unbeatable value for money in the long run.
How long does CATWatch take to work?
Just like humans, cats have various behavioural traits. Some, upon encountering CATWatch will flee immediately. Other cats, of a more territorially dominant disposition, may actually settle down in front of CATWatch in an attempt to make it move! However, ultimately the cats accept it is a battle they cannot win and move on to another area. Therefore please be patient if CATWatch doesn't always appear to work right away. The scientific trials prove that CATWatch works. Our experience suggests, however, that it may take longer to do so in some cases.
Cat owners - protect your cats' life
Cats Protection recommend CATWatch to their members as a safe and effective way of preventing cats straying out onto the road, or controlling their movement within the garden so the cat will avoid certain areas.
Power check facility
When you switch CATWatch on, it automatically checks the power source (battery or mains adaptor) and when it is working properly you will hear a series of clear bleeps
High tech self-diagnosing electronics
CATWatch incorporates a self-testing microchip electronic diagnostic system which continuously checks the unit for
correct operation. In the unlikely event of a problem developing, the red light behind the lens and/or the electronic
click heard as the unit activates will stop working. As we cannot hear the alarm this ensures that you can easily check that CATWatch is working correctly.
For maximum power and economy use the mains adaptor kit
The mains adaptor is recommended if a lot of people or creatures pass by the unit because this may shorten battery
life. (Average battery life - 3 months).
Other advantages are: -
i. Maintains operation at peak efficiency as opposed to the declining power of batteries.
ii. The alarm is increased by 35%
iii. Long term economy - costs just a few pence per month to run.
iv. Completely safe - only the thin 30ft 12-volt bell wire runs outdoors to the unit.
What makes CATWatch
so effective?
Only the finest quality components are used
to produce CATWatch.
After many years research and development we
established, in particular, that maximum performance
could only be achieved by using the highest
specification equipment in four critical areas - namely
the power source, LED detector, micro chips and
speaker. It is this attention to detail that has made
not only the original, but still the best,
electronic cat deterrent available in Britain today.

The results speak for themselves...
"In the last 9 years my garden has been plagued by
cats. I have a 20ft x 8ft pond and have had numerous
fish mysteriously disappearing over the years. The
main bugbear was that due to the condition of the
soil it is very attractive as a cat toilet.
I have tried the cat pepper, the inert clay chippings
impregnated with garlic, orange and lemon peelings,
growing mint, putting half filled plastic bottles in the
garden, etc etc etc. All total failures.
This year, after sowing my flower seeds and having
them destroyed each day I browsed some websites
and forums and decided to buy your product.
Although by no means the cheapest, it seemed the
most logical and considering “you get what you pay
for” principle, opted that I had nothing to lose
considering the 90 day money back guarantee.
I will admit that I was cynical but the morning
following installation I inspected my flower beds and
was pleased to find NO evidence of any feline visits…
further, I have had none since the installation (fingers
crossed) and the seedlings are progressing. I would
wholeheartedly recommend your product (and have
done) to anybody experiencing the same frustrations
as me regarding cats."
Terry Waldron. Eltham, London.
"We are writing to inform you of the great success
we have had deterring neighbouring cats from
our back and front lawns having installed your
CatWatch deterrents.
It is making life much more pleasant when setting out
to mow, not having to worry about what you might
step in or run the lawn mower over!!!
It has also given us the added bonus of encouraging
birds into the garden giving us great pleasure.
Although we have had plenty of starlings feeding
from the fat feeders our patience has been rewarded
in the last few days with a pair of starlings with their
three offspring, sparrows, blackbirds and a bluetit
visiting the various feeders much to our delight.
Without CATWatch this would not have been possible."
Margaret Townsend & Ralph Parker. Christchurch, Dorset
"The reason for my letter is to thank you for a
brilliant product. Since we installed our
CATWatch we have not seen one single cat in
our garden, despite there being several cats
living in neighbouring houses.
We are now able to enjoy feeding the birds
without the fear that we maybe luring them
into danger.
Congratulations on such a useful invention."
Linda Fuller, Hoddesdon, Herts.
"Dear Sir,
I bought a Catwatch from you earlier this year, and it has proved
successful beyond my expectations. Way beyond them, in fact, because in
the eight or so weeks since installation my back lawn has remained totally
free of cats. Over the last two or three years I have spent I should think
more then £250 on sprays, powders, granules etc. all of which had some
effect for a day or so, but equally all of which proved themselves to
be quite useless after a short while."
Mr P Tuohy, E. Sussex
"For price, versatility and performance we choose Catwatch" Garden Answers
*Practical Fishkeeping Product of the Month*
Our colleagues on Garden Answers gave Catwatch a best buy award.
While digging, delving and defecating in your best seedbed can be pretty
annoying, the sight of a feline assassin with £200 worth of Koi in its
toothy gob is enough to send you reaching for Grandpas' WWII souvenir
Luger.
You can dissuade them from visiting your pond with Catwatch, a
neat and unobtrusive motion detector, which like those increasing security
light systems, responds to movement up to 40' away. But it works day and
night by giving off a high frequency sound which is inaudible to humans
(and neighbours) but gives the cat a jolt, which either moves it on its
way or causes it to freeze on the spot. After 7 seconds the alarm stops
and recommences at a different frequency when the cat moves.
Placed effectively by your pond (it can be staked into the ground or
attached to a wall) it should create a cat-free zone.
The unit is weatherproof and powered by a battery which will last between
2 weeks and 4 months, as the movement detector cannot distinguish between
cats and birds.
An adaptor kit is available to solve this problem.
In a Nutshell Review:
A kinder cat scarer.
Quick Verdict: Could be the answer
to a pond owner's prayers.

Keeping moggies at bay
Gloom descended on my household last week when Jaws, a sleek, silver
Ghost Carp, fell victim to a neighbour's cat. My quest for a safe but
effective deterrent ended with Catwatch.
The device senses movement within a 1,350 sq ft zone and emits a piercing,
very high frequency alarm only audible by the cat.
Desmond Rafferty, DAILY EXPRESS
Fight off felines
"We may be a nation of animal lovers but we prefer to keep the cat members
of the animal kingdom out of our gardens."
High tech deterrent
But how can cats be kept away when
you're not at home? M Tannel from Ferndown in Dorset and K
Snelling from Dartford in Kent were united in their praise for
Catwatch. "The inventor should be canonised," the latter writes.
The small box works by emitting a high frequency noise when movement
is detected within a range of about 40 feet. The sound is beyond the
range of the human ear, but is very audible to cats. V Scaresbrook
from Congleton in Cheshire describes how "the local cats now rush
through the garden at great speed, shaking their heads". She regularly
moves her Catwatch around, so that the cats don't find a spot
where they can stalk in peace. |

Animal Deterrents Tested. 6 Month Trial
Catwatch
Product: Infrared detector monitoring a fan shaped area of 100°
to a distance of 12m- an area of about 120sq. m. On detection of movement
or body heat, it emits a burst of ultrasound that only affects cats. This
sound can damage human hearing if ear is placed close against unit.
Weather resistance: Not affected by weather conditions.
Suggested uses: Creates a no-go area for cats, protecting gardens
from damage and fouling. Also protects fish in pools and birds.
How to use: Set up with lens 8in./20cm about ground level. Mains
adaptor recommended if a lot of people or creatures pass by the unit,
because this shortens the battery's life.
Individual Opinions
Allen thought that his was excellent, being able to install it
and forget all about it. The battery soon went flat because of the number
of birds setting off the unit, so he preferred the mains adaptor. He thought
it was well worth the cost to have a permanent deterrent.
Michael thought this deterrent was a must for everyone plagued
by cats, working out cheaper in the long run than dusts and sprays. He
found that the battery lasted eight to ten weeks because in his garden
only cats triggered the unit.
Patricia was very impressed with the device which she thought
well worth the outlay. It was immediately effective, easy to use, with
cats no longer a problem. The battery lasted 12 weeks.
Bridget found this very effective, barring all cats from her garden
and bird feeding area. She thought that the unit would be better with
rechargeable batteries because the batteries went flat so quickly. The
mains adaptor solved that problem but created another in having to route
the wire outdoors from an indoor socket.
