Hi y'all. I didn't know where to put this post and hadn't visited the lounge in awhile so I thought I'd put it here. So my neighbor lost her husband earlier this year to a rare form of brain cancer. She's been having a tough time, but it's been several months and she seems to be doing better, talking more and getting out a little. I get her mail and trash and help with problems that pop up. Recently she was complaining about an animal that gets on her roof every night, right over her bedroom. She could hear it all hours and it was keeping her up and frustrating her no end. I figured it was probably a bobcat, I had seen one in my back yard about the size of a very large tom cat.
So here's what I did. I got an emergency blinking light that is solar powered like the kind they use around road construction. I put it inside of a cinder block and secured it inside the block with twine so the bobcat couldn't swat it off the roof. I climbed up and put it over her bedroom and low and behold it worked! She said the first night the cat was there for around a half an hour but then left. That was the last night she heard it and that was a over a week ago. She is very happy to be able to sleep undisturbed again. So anyone with bobcat problems, (or any nocturnal animal) try a blinking light.
