But this is a hyper-cunning bastard. He&#8217;s the kind of cat that&#8217;s going to keep trying (and besides, the plan above only gets him when he&#8217;s stealing food, it doesn&#8217;t get him when he&#8217;s literally pissing about downstairs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;m thinking that I need to deliver a more shocking voltage.
