Shooting rubber bands after cats

[TykeMerc]

Well, I don't just want to be able to chase them while I'm outside, I want them to stop it completely.

Currently I come out to chase them, and lob a pebble from the gravel. Now they have that figured, and don't shift until they see me reach for the pebble; just being outside and yelling/hissing is no longer enough. I'd guess the water gun might be the same.

Moggies dislike water pretty intensely, a supersoaker won't do any damage, but it will certainly discourage the little blighters.

As you've noticed cats get wise to things pretty fast and they will realise quite rapidly that you can douse them at range so they may stay away.

Just build one of these.

"living projectiles"? WTF?


thinks... what about the kids on the towpath that use their catapults to fire maggots at passing narrowboats?

Is that true? If so where do they find the maggots? Are they out fishing or they just have really bad hygiene?
