That will work Chris as long as you can position it right. Remember if the cat touches the wire he has to also earth it. No problem if running it near the ground but it won’t earth very well if the wire is run over the loft if the cat is standing on the loft if it’s wood.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

As Andy says, that should help as long as you position in the right place and at the right height.

I have to say that the only way I've ever really successfully kept cats away from my garden and loft, was by getting a cat myself !!
Thankfully, at the moment, I don't have a problem with cats, just the hawk :?

I hope it works for you mate.

Your own cat definitely works

It was a fantastic cat nothing got close to the pigeons

What’s even weirder your own cat doesn’t seem bother the pigeons, well none of ours did,
in fact the opposite the cat would often be laying in the sun with the pigeons walking around it.

Having cats our self I have found the opposite as more of the towns cats visit
Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud :D :D
