Someone in the PH was having problems with hawks killing his chickens. I see an opportunity here to get a natural predator of the cat into the loop. Let's let the hawk and cat duke it out. Any way you look at it, the situation is a PITA.I like the idea of just disconnecting the beer out from the keg. However, you may forget to do that. Is there a way to block the cats from getting up to the tap handles? Can you put things around the faucet handles to prevent them from getting close enough to open them?I've seen doggie traps designed to stop dogs from jumping up on furniture. It is like a low speed mouse trap designed to scare them away.

cats fear foil?Just crinkle up a piece of foil and put it by the taps, the cats will never go near it again. Problem solved.

Are these cat-owners also parents of teenagers?I feel like this is the second time in the last few months that i've seen someone ask this question because they were worried about their cats opening their faucets.

The advice has definitely helped! Now I just have to get the chest freezer over to my new house and try some stuff out, probably starting with the rubber bands, then moving up to the bungee cord if the bands don't work. Finally moving to razor wire if all else fails :cheers:And, yes, cats really do hate aluminum foil for some reason.Thanks again, everyone!The real problem here is that tap locks are designed to keep teenages out of your beer. You are dealing with cats, that are likely smarter than the average teenager <_<Now to be serious, has any of the advice helped?h

They'd work if I felt like cleaning up cat crap every nightHow about one of those motion sensor Halloween decorations that screeches and howls whenever someone goes near it?
