I have had a Slomin's security system in my home for a few years and

cats. Now the motion sensor goes off when they use the stairway (at
least.. that's what I have witnessed for right now.. who knows where
else they will trip it off..)

I called Slomins and they just said disarm the motion sensor.. Well..
that defeates the purpose of home security, doesn't it? They acted
like there was nothing else they could do.

I read about Intelligent Pet Sensors, that are able to tell the
difference between an animal or a burgler.. However, that's all sales-
pitch. I have also read stuff from people saying they are a big
disappointment.

What do people with pets do in the case of having a home security
system.. Do they just not use motion sensors and use window and door
sensors?

If it is a directional sensor maybe you can experiment *in pointing it
where the cats can't go or get a different sensor. *Cats seem to claim
every availalble area in a home and can jump several feet up. *Good
luck with the three cats, though. *- Hide quoted text -

We had that problem in a townhouse apartment. My wife crawled up the
stairs while I adjusted the sensor. I had some fun with this.
