New Cat Shooter squirts a distance of 24 feet!

 

My previous shooter was faulty so I just bought a new water cannon-cum-cat shooter at Shoppe for under RM15 inclusive of transport cost. It advertises the water canon as a long range version but when I tested it, the water jet turned into a spray to a distance of 8-10 feet. I decided to inspect the nozzle then snapped the small tip which created the spray. The eye of the nozzle is now left totally clear. Even half loaded with water, it now squirts a jet of water comfortably to a distance of 24 feet. My previous water canon could only squirt a jet of water effectively to a distance of 10-12 feet. It became an effective cat shooter and was used to shoo away cats that, during the night, climb on top of the car, leave urine stains, scratch marks as well as dirty paw prints all over the car. The trick to ensure they never come again is to:

1. Walk barefooted in the compound so they are unaware we are close by.
2. A distance of 6' is very effective and increases accuracy of shot.
   
3. "Shoot" them while they are in the act loafing on top of the car.

From experience, they never come again so the water cannon serves its purpose well and as it only squirts water, it just hurts the cat's dignity.

UPDATE:

Being full of water, I let it rest against the wall only to see it slide and fall. The case cracked but I managed to seal it using PVC pipe glue and it works fine.
