To avoid similar static sensations they begin to avoid the area.Safe and HumaneAmerican and Canadian Humane Societies, the Canadian Council on Animal Welfare, and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association have deemed Scat Mats an acceptable product for use in situations where positive reinforcement is not effective. They consider the Scat Mat to be a humane, and potentially life-saving product.The electrical energy emitted by the Scat Mat is extremely small. If a small child comes in contact with the mat, he or she will recoil from it, just as an unsuspecting adult will.
