Maybe you could experiment with electronic devices http://www.rspb.org.uk/advice/unwantedvisitors/cats/catdeterrent.asp I've seen a news item about a PIR system that detects cats approaching areas of the garden where they shouldn'ta oughtn'ta be and sprays them. The water bit won't be practical inside, but you might be able to make a deterrent noise and/or movement machine. It would have to be very local and minimal so as to not traumatise kitty too much -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
