I don''t think this will work; from my experience, cats vs creepers works on line of sight, not proximity.
Example: I was in my house when a creeper snuck in through a wall I was still building; I ran to my cats. The creeper ran right up to my face, turned around, and jumped over the balcony outside. He then re-entered my house through the hole in the wall, came up to me again, and and promptly escorted himself out.
Because of this, I strongly suspect that cats work on line of sight - the creeper needs to see the cat for it to work, and if they happen to run past the line of cats before seeing them, the creeper will be trapped inside the perimiter, too afraid to leave . . . trapped with you
I have managed to find a method of repelling creepers from a base using cats;
One simply puts the cat into a minecart, and sends it around the base on a large loop track. The cats will exit the minecart each time you log off, but can be easily placed back in, or use a cat trap device, the same as Docm77 uses for his cats (episode 67-68 ish).
The cats will repel the creepers even when they are in the minecarts.
And your art is a MASTERPIECE!
True survival server, and fun!

So making it not an easy job.
I will have to do this when I get home, great idea
