Gilligan's feral cat deterrent system - test

I understand there's a risk the feral cats will nest in the 9 feet between ground level and your newly constructed home. Here's a test of a feral cat deterrent system tested by a homeowner near Leonardtown recently.

A good system but will it repel zombie attacks even when the power grid fails during the zombie apocalypse? Or simply just feral cats?

No. Zombies are non-conductive due to lack of moisture in the tissue. They are highly resistant with no capacitance. Coupled with the fact that they are already dead, electricity is a poor deterent to the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse.

Many of the reasons this is so effective against feral cats who preferentially pizz in the newly placed landscaping bushes. It's been recorded with Night Vision security cameras someplace, I'm sure.

Zombies have been sighted in Leonardtown? I thought they were just colonized around DC.

To the contrary, Gilligan likes his feral cats. So much so that I found an inspiration for him to use with the TIKI bar theme in mind to build a feral cat motel:
