hi, a reader of gyo recomended catwatch for reducing cat visits to gardens, sounds ideal has anyone used it?
looked on the rspb web site and it says doesnt affect other speicies, is this true? why not? what about other animals about the same size(i.e. chickens/ducks)
it says it works for 12 meters is this in all directions or just in a half moon from the mounting site?
any ideas?
any help greatly appriciated!

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)*.

The sensor detects movement up to 12 metres (40ft) away and emits a high pitched sound (silent to humans) in a wide 100 degree arc, which is pitched specifically at a cat's hearing frequency. The ultrasonic is thought to be effective at 18m (60ft). This means that the unit won't be activated until the cat is within 30ft, but once the cat turns and exits, it will still hear the noise up to 60ft away. "

Big brother......

I still stand by the supersoaker and screaming like a banshee - it's about establishing pecking orders, and you need to be boss cat in the neighbourhood.
