I've also made one of those moving, predator silhouettes, like they have at the campgrounds to scare geese. It's a waterproof piece of corrugated cardboard. Cut two pieces in the basic shape of big slinking cat, paint it and make BIG high-vis eyes. Glue an upside down jar between the pieces, and fasten them together, put the jar on a stake in the ground. The wind makes it move. It doesn't have to look all that realistic. The movement and the eyes are what scares the critters.
Now that's some creative thinking, I see a project in my future.
