I’m sure it will do a dandy job keeping the mice out of my barns.
we have had a robo cat for about 6 years. It does not have fur, but paint. However it is light, movement, sound and touch sensitive. If you pet it, it purrs and flexes its tail. It runs away if there is a loud noise. It goes to sleep, after a purring sequence if ignored. Light or sound wake it. You can program it to say a few words, play a song or to wake you up in the morning. Brand name is KITTY. They also make dogs (of which we have one) and parrots.
