My daughter and I witnessed a cat jumping up on the platform bird feeder I
have near the den and grabbed the bird and ran off. I read that cats can
jump six feet or more.There is a stovepipe guard on the pool holding the
feeder but the cat jump right past it landed on the bird. So, my solution
was to raise the feeder higher than the cat can jump. I hope this what you
are asking for.
