Cat hair roof problems? I think I might have found the answer

Cats are scared of cucumbers as they think it’s a snake - you could try leaving one on the roof in its plastic wrapping to see if it works as a deterrent. .

  

My cat eats snakes (and just about anything else that moves!), although I have told her that they are a protected species  and she’s not, falls on deaf ears!.  She even attacks my green and black garden hose thinking it’s a grass snake!

Ha ha  you must have a tough cat! - just look on U Tube and see how they react. 

  

Tried it with mine, if it’s just lying there she gives it a wide berth, but if I drag it along on a piece of string she pounces on it.  So I wonder if, when it’s just lying there, they think it’s a large “jobbie” from a very large critter that’s waiting to pounce on them!  As any cat owner(?) will tell you, a cat’s behaviour is very logical, to another cat, not to their people!
