"Neko Yoke" (pronounced "Nekoh Yorkeh") previously talked about in this article are bottles of water that the Japanese use to place around their homes to scare away cats. You can see how effective this method is from this photo - via Neta.

Its cute until they grow up all ferral and fight each other and poop in your yard. Then its cat traps and humane society time.

If they have gone feral and their numbers have grown excessively, then eating them might be a solution..

Ya when i saw that scene in Darker Than Black the first thing that came to my head was the article on scaring away cats. See... If Danny hadn't taught me the meaning of the water bottles then I wouldn't of know what they were talking about. Domoarigoto Danny! :-)

Awwwwwww...~ Gotta love those kitties. All three have different fur colors and the exact same expression and are so neatly arranged. They also must not realize that those bottles are their future enemies either.
(ID #153290) Posted on 2008/03/09 08:29
no. behind those cute exteriors are cunning minds plotting ways to bring down the vicious water bottle empire. they're sleeper spies.

Look at the kitties. Awww, cute little kitties....Ahem, I mean darn annoying cats. Always scampering about and meowing. If y'all will excuse I have to go do something manly like pick a fight or something.

My Grandmother does this because the area she lives in has a lot of stray cats roaming around the back gardens... so theres lots of big watter bottles in the shrubs & bushes, it doesn't really seem to work, maybe its an old wives tale?
(ID #153337) Posted on 2008/03/09 10:12
Time to invest in an automated sprinkler to scare the critter? I'm joking given the price of that device.

is there really a need for so many Neko Yoke in a single place like in the picture? won't one do the trick? ('~')
(ID #153343) Posted on 2008/03/09 10:42
I'm not sure how effective water INSIDE a closed bottle is against cats. I know one thing, those kittens really look scared.

The cats don't seem to mind. Maybe whoever arranged the bottles so nicely should try a bit of randomization in the pattern.
(ID #153353) Posted on 2008/03/09 10:56
Thats just a myth, unless you physically hose them down or use a water bomb.

I've heard that cats are repelled by citrus scent, and so spraying a little citrus water on something tends to keep them away. I think we've done that successfully in the past with our cats, but I wonder why people would think this water bottle trick is efficacious. Then again, I've also heard hanging CDs near a doorway will keep flies away; no idea why. We've had a couple discs tied near the back door for months now, and indeed there have been fewer flies, but who knows if it's because of the discs?
(ID #153362) Posted on 2008/03/09 11:12
heard about the citrus scent thing and i believe it works too. on the other hand, cds? maybe flies don't like digital music that much?
(ID #153398) Posted on 2008/03/09 13:09
So whenever I decide I want a cat, I should leave water bottles outside my house.

Actually, back in my ghetto hometown, my mum let 2 stray cats sleeping in front of house. It's pretty effective to cut the numbers of sewer rat running rampant in my house.

LOL. I think I already said it on previous articles, but here in Brazil, people (usually poor uneducated people) puts bottles filled with water on top of energy clocks (the stuff that measures how much power a house is consuming... to calculate the bill), believing this only will help the clock go slower (thus saving on the bill). Of couse it doesn't work, and I don't have a clue on how the whole thing started. Probably much like most urban legends: as a joke.

The cats are cute. The bottles doesn't seems to scare the neko away but I think it is used to trap the neko instead. I think I should try it out to see if it really works here^^ But I think before it can trap the cats, the bottle will be thrown away by the cleaners...lol

OMG THATS ADORABLE!!! :WANT: Wouldn't the bottles of water be more affective if they left the tops off? So if the cats knocked into them they spill over them. Hence, scaring them away lol. Kittens are probably too light to make them wobble anyway. KAWAII!!
(ID #153601) Posted on 2008/03/10 00:30
Yah, what's that supposed to do? As seen in the pic the cats aren't paranoid about the sight of water. WTF? Lazer activated supersoakers would work much better.
