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.
5
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.
