Question:

Water filled PET bottles

I often see large PET bottles filled with water placed in front of houses.
Does anyone know the purpose of this?

  • hmm thats interesting..Seeing cats are so curious, I would think that a full PET bottle full of water would reflect in the sun and therefore actually attract cats? Interesting theory though.
