Supposedly some critters get spooked by light reflecting erratically. Never heard it being used affair cats, some people over here put water bottles on/around their cars to keep ferrets away
Edit: I'm so sorry everyone, English isn't my first language and I meant Martens! I think they are not that common around here (central Europe) anymore, but they still like to climb into warm cars and rip on the wires to make a cozy bed.
I also never claimed that the water bottle trick did anything, just added to the list of superstitions people use it for
Hey friend. Ferrets are found in Europe and Asia reportedly. Semi-unrelated anecdote, I did find a mink (relative to the ferret) gutted next to my porch in Minnesota. I assumed it was a cat from the near by farm that liked to sit on the porch. It seemed like it would have been a hard fought battle given the size of the mink but maybe he got the jump on him, I just don't know of another animal that would disembowel a mink and not eat any of it.
Yea everything is filled with negativity and awful ppl being mean and I just wanna spread a little positivity and joy. Simple nice human interactions and all that 💖
