Stumped
Every day when I walk to school in the morning and walk home at night I see 2 liter bottles filled with water lined up on top of people's fences and in front of their homes. Ever since I came to Japan I have wondered what they are for. And here I am, a year and a half later still wondering. So, please reply to this post with your ideas about what these bottles of water are for. As for me, I will do some investigating and post the answer later.

I've got a couple of possibilities for you:
1. I recently saw the same thing in Thailand and a girl told me it was to keep dogs from pooping there.
2. I have also seen people hang baggies filled with water from door jambs in the States to keep flies away.
3. Some kind of a Buddhist offering.
It's to keep cats away from their house and yard.
Duh- drinking water that has been in the sunlight makes you funnier. And smarter. And sexier. And better than anyone else. Ever.
Everyone knows that. Seriously, get with the program, killer.
I agree with Katie. Japanese cats have an innate fear of water bottles. True story. So, put 'em around the car= no cat in/on the car. Put 'em in front of the doorway= no cat in the house, etc.
Tadaaa! Mystery solved!
If only my roommates had the same fear. I could put water bottles around my drumset. Further evidence that I need Japanese roommates. :) Yeah... that probably wouldn't work either.
Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.
