SSSCAT Refill Hack - Refill Your PetSafe Cat Spray Deterrent for Free

PetSafe SSSCAT Cat Spray with Tire Valve refill hack
🆕
We have a new post explaining how to refill your SSSCAT with any compressed air can. This method is less of a hassle and lasts way longer.

We’ve tried many different cat deterrents when training our cat not to scratch furniture or jump on kitchen counters. The best product that worked for us was the PetSafe SSSCAT deterrent cat spray. This spray uses motion sensors (by measuring the difference in temperatures) to detect the presence of your cat, and then sprays a burst of harmless air. It’s amazing.

When it comes to purchasing replacement cans, it is pretty expensive at $16.95 a can. With a new SSSCat can lasting about 80 sprays, you will need to buy a replacement every 16 days if your cat is naughty 5 times a day. That’s $390 a year!

With the small upfront cost of $21, you will never have to buy a SSSCAT refill ever again. Here’s what you’ll need:

TR413 Tubeless Tire Vales - $3.57 @ Amazon | Bicycle Tire Pump with Gauge - $12+ @ Amazon

First thing you need to do is to remove the SSSCAT spray head from the can. This will expose the little tube on top of the can. Now take your TR413 tubeless tire valve and press it on top of the can until it is securely on the notch.

While holding the TR413 tubeless tire valve in place on the can, carefully attach the bicycle tire pump valve over the tire valve, as if you are going to pump up a tire.

Hold everything in place with one hand, and start pumping away with your other hand. It is safe to get the pressure of the can up to 80 PSI.

Once you hit the desired pressure, just pull the TR413 valve off of the can and mount the SSSCAT spray head back on. Place your newly refilled cat spray deterrent by your furniture and rest assured that your cat won’t be scratching there anymore.

Hold everything in place and pump, pump, pump!

Please note that you won’t be able to get as many sprays per refill compared to actually buying the official replacement. But if it doesn’t cost anything to refill, then it is the same as if you had unlimited sprays!
