My pecker to where? My point is the current flowing through your, my or the cat's pecker is determined by the total resitance of the circuit. Dry foot pads on a metal surface will limit the current from a nine volt battery to something very small. Having an FET VOM, a scope and a nine volt battery somewhere around here, I'll engage in a little hands on rather than speculation and get back to you. The only thing I don't have is a cat. Darn.

What about a web cam? Got one of those?
No web cam and when I went to the zip lock bag of batteries in the fridge, no 9 volt. It'll have to wait for tomorrow. Anyway, I didn't say I planned to pee on the 9 volt. I may just touch it to the tongue - one pole, with the other pole connected to a piece of metal I'm standing on. On the other hand I might just...

Maybe mothballs would keep the cat out.
Cats also hate the smell of Ben Gay ointment. I don't know what is in the ointment that give it its characteristic oder.
Enlighten us, Tim. Maybe most of us have better things to do with our time than watch the tube. When I was in High School we built various electronic doodads, including primitive one-transistor inverters that used the 1.5 DC volts from a D cell, and ran the oscillated signal into the secondary of an old audio transformer from a small tube-type radio. The primary, which had many turns of wire, produced enough voltage to get interesting reactions from the unwary. My teacher told me of an incident in which one of these was used in the guys' dressing room, hidden behind the toilet next to the shower room. With one fine copper wire in the can and the other lying on the floor, which was wet, of course, and well-salted. Sure enough, one guys gets out of the shower, splashes over to the can, and makes the connection. Must have been drilling it in pretty good to avoid stream breakup. Or maybe he was sitting down. What with spastic muscle response, there was pee just about everywhere, with appropriate vocal accompaniment. Wish there was a video of such a scene. Or maybe, like Tim implies, it's just another urban legend?

Call the nearest Chinese restaurant and see if they are low on cat meat(meow)!
Check to be sure. My male cats love it. They'll lick my hands when I've used Ben-Gay. All squinty and runny-nosed, but they keep coming back for more.

A few kV at a very low current seems to do the trick. When we were kids, we were out hunting...My brother paused to piss on an electric fence. The power pulse came on, he went up in the air, pissed, shat & came, and NEVER NEVER did it again. Other than an abiding fear of electric fences, t it caused no lasting harm.
