Maybe it is because I don’t have a yard but I didn’t know that this was a problem (is this a problem?). Like a giant spritz bottle to keep cats off furniture, this raspberry pi solution keeps the cats out of your yard. Shared by CatawayCV on Instructables:

#BeforeYouCallPETA – The cats are fine, its a low pressure sprinkler just like rain, that they can outrun before it even pivots around to them. The project is not to soak a cat, but to shew them away before they litter my garden with the cat version of Barkers Eggs.
