日本に初めて来たときに、あちこちに水が入ったペットボトルを見かけた。とても不思議でした。思いついたのは「きっとケロン星人が遊びであちこちに置いたな」と思った。友達に聞いたところ「猫よけだよ」と。
うちの庭によく犬がうんこしにくるので犬よけにも効きますかね?飼い主はそのうんこを持ち帰って頭に塗ってほしいな。

ブラスターの方が猫退治に効果的かも。

Just make cats like you and they will, most of the time, leave you alone and come around only to tell of important things or if they want or need something from you...

No, really...

I always wondered what they were for when I was living over there.  I never bothered to ask and just assumed that they were there to get refilled, sort of like milk bottles

Damn dragons with no corporeal bodies which cast reflections to scare off cats! And Danny tape a a water bottle to the blaster, the dragon hologram will heighten the effect of terror.

Ah, so that's what they're for! A similar thing is the people who live in tall apartment buildings tying CDs to the balcony to scare crows away. Not sure how effective that is, either...

hehe Neko! Neko means cat. Yay I feel that I learned something today. Hey Danny if you run out of blaster ammunition, maybe you could try a Thermite bomb on the cats or anything that seems to be annoying. And if you run out of that, take out a lightsaber and WHAM! 

Cheerio

Water bottles reflecting light off of them to scare off cats? Pff, that's so illogical, the dragon thing is much more believable.

But if that works for cats, you think it'll work on those pesky door-to-door salesmen?  They always come to you for food(money) and will always keep coming back if you give them some.

The blaster technique is a great one to keep those Neko out of your hair.  I prefer using a Gundam, stepping on them is much more easier than aiming.  It's almost effortless!

Ah for pesky salesmen just start collecting airsoft guns.  When they knock grab a rag and come to the door with the gun while "polishing it"  Politely say "I'm not interested but thanks"  The key is when you say thanks change your facial expression to something grimacing.  They won't come back.

I grew up in a place called Redcliffe (in Australia) and they used to do the exact same thing with the bottles filled with water, but it was suppose to stop dogs from pissing on the garden. I don't think it worked then, and I don't think it would work now, in Japan.

Well, a watergun should be enough to scare cats off, I would still pity the poor animal (but I wonder if it would be the ultimate weapon against lions and other big felines... Hmm!)

If a cat is daring enough to make the bottle fall off, it may work. I think cat detectors would be perfect then to complete the scheme, but it would be much more expensive.
What are they so afraid of anyway ? neko poo ? *laughs insanely*

Remember people, even if you're ultra-thirsty, do not drink in random bottles!
