Some of our customers have reported a couple of problems with their jet spray cat scarers, but they were usually easily solved. For example, there have been instances of the main unit leaking at the joints and connections, but this is a simple fix with some PTFE tape.

However, neither of them was perfect and, like most things, they had their flaws. I’ll explain more in the next section.
