DECOY INSTRUCTIONS
Welcome to the Apex of Predator Decoy Technology!
Extensive testing has proven the Stray Cat™’s random and spontaneous motions
trigger a variety of instinctive predator emotions:
 •PureHunger
 •OpportunisticFood
 •Territorial/AggressiveCompetition
By triggering dierent emotions, predators respond by aggressively
approaching the decoy.
e secret behind the Stray Cat™ is realistic, random motion. ese
movements are just like a real living animal and resemble a cat
which predators acknowledge as competition and food.
e Stray Cat™ is so realistic it keeps predators engaged,
bringing them in to the decoy.
