Rating: - It works, but use a mains adaptor.
Returning from a two week holiday to a front garden rank with the stench of cat faeces was the final straw. My initial musings about using Indiana-Jones style traps to launch the vermin back into my neighbours garden left me questioning my own sanity, so I bought a Big Cheese instead. It works! There were only two turds left in the first week after installation and then nothing after that. Why not five stars? The two 9v batteries (not included) were spent within one month so I've had to connect it up to an old d.c. adapter. A d.c. adapter increases the volume so it's worth using one. NB: It IS audible if you have good hearing and the sound is irritating if you're near it. But in such circumstances you just turn it off.

Rating: - It works.......so far
Like many others I have been plagued by neighbours cats fouling my vegetable beds. I have six deep beds and, unless they are heavily planted and the growth is substantial, they are used by the cats. I have installed the Big Cheese and so far it has been successful. I have had two beds with bare, freshly turned earth left untouched for three weeks! Before, when I had put a tent of chicken wire over the beds a cat had dropped it's poo through the wire. My only criticism is that the switch to turn it off, for battery saving, is awkwardly located.

It worked for a week or so and now the cats don't care. Finally I was able to keep the cats away by always keeping my grass wet.

I have owned one of these for a blissfull four weeks, and after 9 years of cleaning other peoples cat's mess from my garden i am at last stress free, not one cat mess since i installed the big cheese. I was just about ready to sit up all night with an air riffle thats how bad i was feeling i had tried everything, don't delay these things really do work and the nightmare stops.

Got my Cat Repeller out of the box ASAP when it arrived. Installed it on the veg patch to protect my new beans etc. Next door neighbour's cat walked up to it, sat down and had a kip.
The moggie didn't seem at all bothered by the Repeller and I had to go down the garden to check it was working.
I'd suggest that this product isn't as powerful or as effective as some other reviewers suggest. Either that or the cat next door is smarter (and more hard of hearing) than I think!
