Just a first idea. Domestic cat food deprivation equipment:

I don't think its "inefficient" though, so more thought required.

Yeah i like the idea of "Domestic cat food deprivation" but i agree it could be more inefficient. Maybe something with a laser pointer or wool could be involved...?

Laser pointer idea is interesting...

I suppose I COULD make it a V8 engined food tray...?

Love the idea.
If it goes away too quickly, it's very efficient.
I'd make it seem to move very very slow trying to escape the cat. :P
Or go away just a bit with each bite. Don't know how you gonna portray that in a still though.

Well... Here's my concept for the next round of the competition. Its called the Feline Retribution Orbital Navigation Aqua-Tank.

The vehicle enables garden owners who are tired of neighbour's cats s**ting on their lawn to torture the moggy by squirting water at it (every cat hates this with a passion).

The vehicle is crewed by three highly trained operatives - a driver, communications specialist (allowing airsupport to be called in via satellite uplink should the moggy try to escape) and a weapons officer who is responsible for accurately squirting the cat with water. The FRONAT is armed with a 500 litre reservoir of refridgerated water, and is armoured with teflon coated plate steel incase the cat tries to scratch the crew. Every eventuality has be catered for.

Well, it ain't too special as designs go, but I made some progress. If I can I'll put a big-ass water container on it and try to come up with somekind of decent feature for the water cannon.

Don't even start on the texturing crits... I know!
