Hey, I`m on cat number 5 (4 at once at the moment, yea, i love felines),
and
the best way I`ve found to keep cats away is
A-Distract them with food
B-(you`ll love this)Hover their tail with the hover. This may sound
cruel,
but it doesn`t hurt them, and you only have to do it once or twice. Then
the
cats will attack the tube off the cleaner and run. Well, it works for me
(and before anybody complains, my cats will come to me and pester me
until I
cuddle them, they love me, I love them).
