Cats have exceptionally well-defined territories, which they mark regularly and which seldom overlap. Most cats will avoid crossing an area or territory marked by some other unknown cat.
The idea is to mix some cat scent into asphalt, so most cats will avoid crossing roadways, considering them some
other cat's territory. This will save the lives of many cats and prevent car accidents.

As a way of containing the vile creatures, it's good - but if it does // save the lives of many cats // then it's Very Bad. [-] |

I thought the psychopath vote had been monopolized by Trump campaigners. |

He's one of them. Did you not know? |

Can't we be both ? Being just one of them would be so lonely and, quite frankly, weird. |

Unrelated to the reduction in probability of a cat getting hit by a car, I feel like this will reduce the probability of a lost cat finding its way home more than it will reduce the probability of a cat getting lost in the first place. |

If you ever find yourself having to spend the night alone in the bush, try to hold your bladder for as long as you can so that you can mark your territory in as wide a circle as you can before thinking of sleeping. |

Trust me. It works. Most critters aren't old enough to have smelled man, and they want no part of us. |

Perhaps the cat can be mixed in with the asphalt; in this
manner the animal would never be hit by a car and one
would always know where it was. |
|
|
That is a truly inspired idea; we shall commence prototyping as soon as we can obtain some more cats. The supply in our immediate vicinity is notably meagre if late - perhaps we need to set a bag limit. |
|
|
Or then again, perhaps not. |

// Perhaps the cat can be mixed in with the asphalt; in this manner the animal would never be hit by a car //
Yes, but it would constantly be run over, day after day, etc., etc. |

However, this does yield a new punchline:
Q. Why did the cat cross the road?
A. It didn't. It *IS* the road! |
