Persistent cat steals food

    We have had a hedgehog feeding station for some years – an upturned storage box with a doorway cut out – which our hedgehogs have happily used to access their nightly food. But my new neighbour’s cat is proving a real nuisance. I have added an entrance tunnel with a 90 degree turn to deter it. It still wriggled its way in and scoffed the lot. I extended the tunnel and reduced the height and watched on my nighttime wildlife camera as it dragged itself in on its belly. I put a dish of water inside the entrance and it pushed itself under the box, despite it being weighted down with a brick. I have now weighted the box down with 4 bricks. I fear it may still get in, even if it has to crawl through the saucer of water. It is really spoiling our efforts to feed our hogs, which still come at night to find all the food gone. Any solutions?
