Talk about technical overkill - this guy has come up with a way to make sure the cat doesn't jump onto the kitchen bench when nobody's looking. The solution involves a networked camera, a computer, home automation, a strobe and a blender. Here's a link showing the result. Very effective!

Just think, if you'd invented that it could be called "Bender's Blender Defender".

Quality!

I might have to try that.

The fat one can move!

We need to try that.

I presume it has taken him 3 months to perfect his little gadget, either that or it doesn't really work. Some of the videos are dated July 08 and the others are October 08.

If you use a hide and a 12-bore, you only have to do it once...

Or you could simply keep the kitchen door shut ...

Cats do not allow closed doors.

(Not that my kitchen has a door. It's in the lounge.)

a cheaper and low tech solution is to lay tinfoil on the counter top, same sort of effect, scares the crap out of them as it makes a lot of noise and is not a stable surface. Works best on soft surfaces (like laundry) but counters should be as effective..

Tried foil when Bo and Han were small and liked to climb up the kitchen drawer handles. They took it off.

That fat black one looks just like a cat I used to have. Would have loved to have tried that on the cat we had before moving here

I already have a wireless webcam... and a nasty cat... the question is if the cat doesn't get used to it
