Well, the electrical wire isn't stopping the cat from sitting right outside it. Beautiful cat, but my chickens have barely any tail left to shed in fear! Positives from the wire is that it is running away faster and sitting on the grass for less time. It still paws the ground (turns over a bit of soil and stops), which I've still found odd. It hasn't gone deep enough (well, it hasn't gone deep at all) to even hit the skirt yet. The bobcat has actually come close two times since the electrical wire was up. And yes, this electrical wire is charged and on at all times. The charger's rated at 2J, 10.5kV. Whew it packs a punch, I've accidentally gotten shocked from the added wire and my shoulder has hurt for some days now. One day, I'll have my phone with me to get a good picture of the bobcat, since I only have pictures with it through the bushes as of now.
I have been thinking of ammonia rags for some time, however, I was wondering from how far can you smell it? I'm worried my neighbors or people in the woods might complain.
Does not seem like it has shocked itself yet, but who knows. It might enjoy a relaxing hobby of bird watching that it refuses to retire!
