Crikey! : How To Stop Cats Pissing On Your Car

[308Mike]

Did anyone else think "WHY DID YOU STRIP YOUR CAR?! GO TO HD, AND GET A FRIKKEN SPRINKLER VALVE!", or is it just me?

OR, go to the dealer or someone else selling aftermarket parts, and BUY another electronic plunger-valve to fire the sprayer!! WHY would you not look for another souce of parts to do the same thing other than ripping apart your car door??!?!?!?!?!?!?

It's just you.

Perth, West Australia is notably short of Home Depots.

So, he goes to Crocodile Dundees big knife and sprinkler supply then.

My point is, he ripped his car apart, to steal parts, so he can rig up something, when for 20 bucks, or whatever the monopoly money equivalent they use in the land of everything venomous is, he could have built a better setup.

Don't they still sell air rifles in Oz?

I mean, I'm a cat owner. I like animals. Can't understand the phenomenon with owning cats and just letting them roam the neighborhood, killing garden critters, spraying urine and making kittens.
My solution to nuisance cats is to just leave my 85# Chow-Chow and 95# Akita in the yard.
Also a solution to the high cost of dog food.

I figured that was part of the joke.

Yes. Some overly literal minded Aspies over here.

He takes that particular 'raiding for parts' joke even further in the sequel video.

Yeah, I've seen remote activated sprinkler systems you can buy for maybe $30 that takes a minute to set up and will spray anything that moves in front of it. Also, you can set up live traps to catch them, and deliver the cat back to the owner together with a car washing bill, to make your point.

But I figured the whole point of the videos was to do a Rube Goldberg device.

Not so much an Aspie, as somebody who builds stuff for a living, and seeing things done that just sorta pushes my buttons.

Airsoft works well if you don't want to actually injure the cats. CCI .22 CB caps work well if you do.
