I enjoyed reading this article, it makes me think of a farside comic or the like.
The troll in me wants to say, they wasted 70 euros and a weeks worth of work when a two euro pillow case, a couple of rocks and a trip to the river would have been easier and more effective.
The truth is I could never do that and I really like cats, so instead I would say, if the designer built on their concept and trapped then caged the cat, kept it in their house for a week or so, their cats would become accustomed to it. Chances are if it was a stray the owners would post flyers then they could return it whilst informing them of it's miscreant behavior. If it was truly feral, a week in a cage would be enough to keep it away for quite a while and if it returned just rinse and repeat, it will get the message soon enough.
Finaly, my cat is an inside cat so I wont ever have this problem. I know it's hard and almost impossible to turn an outside cat into an inside one, but there is no issues if you raise them as inside cats in the beginning.

“Unfortunately, in all fairness I must admit, the success did not last.”
‘Twas ever thus.
