Hello all, has anyone used ultrasonic pest repellers around cats? Do you think cats can hear them?
Definitely. Cats have a wider range of hearing than us humans. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can hear those ultrasonic frequencies.
@CatWhiskerQuery I’ve read a few studies that suggest cats can hear up to around 65 kHz, and most ultrasonic pest repellers are within that range.
@PurrceptionPro P True, that’s why cats are so good at catching rodents – their hearing is adapted to hear high frequencies that rodents use to communicate.
But are they actually bothered by it? I might install one but don’t want to distress my little furball.
@WhiskerWidget I think it depends on the cat. Some might be more sensitive to it than others.
@EchoEars Also, not all ultrasonic pest repellers are made equal. Some might have settings to ensure they don’t bother pets.
