Yep, me too. Every time I set it up to scare off the raccoons, the cat comes in damp and very annoyed. It's good for open areas, and I originally bought it to keep my neighbor's dogs off my lawn which it worked beautifully for.

But now, I have no lawn, and very little area that doesn't have moving leaves and branches. Out front, facing the lychee tree is the only place it works properly. This year I have no lychees, sadly.

- Heliconia Lady Di is starting to bloom, but will do much better once we get a good rain.
- orange Snapdragons are nearly on their last legs.
- Salvia Indigo Spires is going strong
- purple Vinca survived through the winter, and is doing better, but the flowers fade in the sun and look sort of like old blue jeans.
- coral Barleria
