How to stop cats from ruining TV?

[Freedom]

I have never used these and have a clue if they work. But would a scat mat on the floor in front of the TV for a week or so to help train them?

There are lots out there, probably some with better prices, I am just giving one link for you to see what they are.

I tried one of those when Pooky & Bear first started counter cruizing.

It has small wires inside it about 1 inch apart. The idea is when they walk on it they touch two or more wires and it zaps them with a static shock (we tried it on ourselves first, it's very much like a static poke).

However between Pooky having very fuzzy feet and Bear having small delicate feet (kinda weird for a 17 lb cat lol) they managed to either walk right over the wires or in between them. I had finally notched it up to doberman setting and still couldn't figure out how they defeated it until I caught them and saw what they were doing. Fortunately I'd had it less than the 30 day trial period so I could ship it back and get a refund.

The thing could be worth a try if your cats don't have overly fuzzy feet or very small feet and alot of smarts. I got mine through Foster's & Smith with the 30 day trial period.
