Anyone have any idea how I make some sort of battery powered device, and step up the voltage (from, say, 9V) to enough to give a cat a jolt? This should be a fairly unpleasant jolt, but not enough to harm the cat. I know this will probably involve a transformer of some kind, but what kind? Where would I buy one? Thanks!

Use the entire primary of the transformer to reduce output voltage.

actually if you can find someone with a disposable camera, the flash out of them usually gives a serious jolt.....i know from personal experience, all you have to do is alter a few components and that's only from 1.5 volts, maybe it would work fine if you hooked up a nine volt battery too.

 

Is it so necessary to hurt the poor animal this way?

I agree with kinjalgp!

You could make a device that would sound a loud dog bark, or even an ultrasonic device that will make the unwanted cat go away (every animal can't stand at leat one frequency and therefore runs away from it).

 

i agree. such information is best not posted here.

poor cat....what did it do to you?
maybe try something, if you want to keep the cat away from something, make a simple device, use a resistor and a 10uF cap and a button and a transformer from 3,4,5,69 or what you have to 220V. use it in reverse.
the energy is small enough to make something annoing for the cat, but it will not hurt at all. i tried it on me. of course, i am more resistand to electricity than your cat.
but still i would think of another thing to get your cat away from something or punishe it. try an ultrasoun and maybe associated with a power ful light or something. it is better.
and about the idea to use a dog bark, it will scare the cat for the beginning, but after some time it will get used to it and it will just ignore it.

 

In that case, get a dog :lol:

 

As a member of a household of 11 cats, I find that a squirt of water from a spray bottle works just as well, and doesn't hurt anybody

 

Thats a cool idea phasor

That's what we always used to discipline the kitties. Works very well.

i dont have a cat so cant give many advices. i never thought of an idea other than an electroninic thing.
the idea with the water could work fine.

 

 

Whats the matter Mat? :evil:
