With the nozzle unscrewed almost all the way for that laser jet. I have to refill my bottle once a month with Furryosa. But after I get her, thirty seconds later, without fail, every single time, she comes and gets all affectionate making me feel guilty.
She knows exactly what she’s doing, little emotional manipulative poopyhead!
I’ve found one of the rechargeable air dusters is far more effective. Not all cats are adverse to water, some even like it. But a blast of air will deter all but the stubbornest.
I think it’s more the feeling of the air blast. Mo will let me clean him with a vacuum, but runs away at a puff of air. And compressed air from a tank is just as effective. But I figured most people weren’t living in a perpetual remodel and didn’t have that in their kitchen.
do those compressed air cans work? we’ve got a mean cat out in the yard and i am thinking of building and carrying around a little co2 can/straw dealie to psst at her from long range
yeah, she’s a cat so by the time i can get to the hose and back she’s gone. we’re trying to remember where we put the old super soaker 50s (i think my little brother stole them) to keep in our cars and on my bike but so far no luck.
I just use my breath to blow forcefully at the cat’s face. Only works at close range of course. Indeed I have a cat that never minded getting wet, so water sprays don’t have any effect.
Right in the neck.

I wonder if the engine whine has anything to do with it. I’ll try with my car vacuum later and report back, for science!
Edit: reporting back! I know n=2≠a p value of .05. but my cats are afraid of the noise.

Big lol. I am living in remodel purgatory. But just turning on the compressor is enough to get both of mine to run and hide.

Yeah, but their range might be too limited outside. For that, I would probably just keep a pump up garden sprayer or hose handy.
