So, I'm waiting by the back window watching a grey and darker colored striped cat. It's hanging around an old firepit that we're not going to be able to use (it's illegal now - besides, it's crumbling). It only has one option from where it is: to walk in front of the Cat-Stop since it can't get out of the pit due to the height of the snow on top. It walks up to it, sniffs the side, looks at the front and slinks away over to another part of the yard. I was expecting shock and awe, not "I'm annoyed, I'll go over here". After I went out to chase the cat off I moved the CatStop to where the cat was going to hopefully let the unwelcome annoyance know that he's not welcome there either.
Am I doing something wrong? Does this not work? Do I need an array of 5 of these to properly cover my yard?
Repositioned it so that it's got a lot more time to see the cat coming (if it follows its regular route and it is the same cat). No sign of it since... at least no fresh prints in the snow. Will post as events happen
