Functional description:

This is how, the all-in-one solution works for deep relaxation of your cat

RelaxoCat© is the world’s first and unique device unconscious

deep relaxation for all cats. It has been specifically adopted to the

sensitive hearing if cats, and was developed in close cooperation

with veterinarians, behavioral therapists and breeders.

RelaxoCat© is not comparable to conventional relaxation music for

animals, because in addition to audible, specially composed

soundwaves, RelaxoCat© also features an additional six (6)

subliminally recorded tracks that are not consciously detectable to

the human ear, and put the cat into a deeply relaxed, comfortable

condition.

Moreover, RelaxoCat© features the ability to completely suppress

sound waves audible to humans, meaning that RelaxoCat© works

exclusively with inaudiblerecorded, silent and subliminal music

tracks that are not consciously perceivable.

RelaxoCat© operates fully automatically and effectively.

Regardless of the age or breed of your cat.

The ideal companion for traveling and all changes of environment,

unfamiliar to your pet. RelaxoCat© runs by a powerful battery that

doesn't need to be connected to the electrical circuit for 8hours.

Using the enclosed PowerKit will increase the over-all-run-time up

to 36 hours in total.

Before every flight, the special electronics run self-

diagnostics. Once you hear the soundwaves after the start-

up and the blue LED lights up, you will see that the self-

diagnosis has been successful and RelaxoCat© is now ready

for operation.

If you ever hear a "strange noise" in the audibly composed

soundwaves, this is not a defect, but rather a quality feature

of high frequency, saved audio tracks.
