p.s. the tinfoil is rolled into a very tight cylinder so it's not wafer thin or anything.
The fact that it's DC might actually make it worse. DC current passing through you(or the cat's) body will either

a) Make muscles contract, therefore making it impossible to remove youself(or the cat to remove itself) from the cause of the shock.

or

b) Fling you(or the cat) along the room, maybe causing more damage than the original electric shock.
