A small proximity detector with a
compressed gas cartridge that blows a
puff of air when something comes near
it.
It can be placed under the edge of a
favorite chair or sofa so that the cat gets
puffed when he tries to scratch the chair.
It can also be equipped with an RFID
detector
so that it only puffs certain cats
(those without a chip in their collar. This
could be incorporated into a cat bowl
that
puffs anycat that tries to steal the
owner's
food.

It keeps the Kito banana plants nicely unchewed. [Amos Kito, May 23 2008]

Me like 'm. Could the puffer also shoot water or maybe, say, a tranquilizer dart? Also, if you gave your, oh, say, mother in law, a cookie with an rfid chip in it, could this thing sense the internalized cookie? |
|

I guess it could shoot anything, but I was
thinking foam darts for the most
recidivistic scratchers. Doing anything
crueler to a cat would strongly imply small
penisness. |

Cool. A much needed idea. Maybe combine it with a sharp "NO!" recording? |
|
| |
You really think "NO" would work on my mother in law? |

// maybe, say, a tranquilizer dart // |

Or a 7.62 x 57mm jacketed round ? |

8th, what is it about cats that you hate? they are fecking awesome creatures |
|
| |
The puff part is baked: "Garden Ghost" [Link]. But the cat selector is interesting. Instead of a motion sensor, the cat puffer could be activated by RFID. |
|
| |
//a sharp "NO!" recording//
[Noexit], This definitely needs more than a puff. But I'd like a passive device (some particular toy or object) that remains in proximity to the cat puffer. Whatever the object is, it may have to be (lightly) scented. Once the cat associates it with "fright", you can place that item in other places you wish the cat to avoid, and eventually won't even need the puff device anymore. |

My previous anno, second sentence. |

My cat is a cross between a pig and a dog. He comes when called and is cool around my kids, even after licking his arsenal, which dogs are not. They like to share everything. |
