Default "stay away"

Does anyone have esperience with a sensor-device called STAY AWAY? If a
cat jumps on a table or counter, the sensor sets off a noise and a
blast of air?
Does it work and if so, where can you buy it?

Thanks

Ken

PetsMart has/had something like that. Senses movement and emits a loud
sound marketed under the name scraminal.

I love cats, but on the counter is a Really Bad Thing. Just waving this
around should do the trick, without ever having to use it:

Cats will understand.

That's what I do - shout and then blow in his face - works a treat. These days
the only discipline Smudge needs is a very faint suggestion of air blowing
between my lips and he salutes me as *top cat* - no machine needed :-)

I keep a large can containing a handful of marbles nearby. Tiger knows
not to get up on the counter but he does put his front paws up there.
All I have to do is pick up the can and he immediately gets down. He
surely does NOT want me to shake the can!

Actually, this is pretty funny.

You're my kind of woman! :-) It's amazing how many people have absolutely NO
sense of humor.

Isn't this gulps a little extreme? Even for you, Doug? I'm afraid
Pine Cone would take it away and use it on me.

Oh Pam....that's why you don't chamber a round until you're ready to use it.
You need thumbs to pull the slide back, silly! :-) If you're convinced Pine
Cone might use it, I think he/she should take a basic handgun safety course
first. That's just common sense. Your veterinarian probably has info on
these things.

Picturing it, I would have to agree.
