Can you use the CAT machine in another town

[lunachii]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but can you use the CAT machine to redeem some meow points in another town?

No, you can't.
I tried to do it in one of my other towns and it didn't work.

I wish! I found out the hard way that you cannot :/

Just a heads up; you also can't use your own CAT machine if your gate is open. Maybe it goes without saying but it might save someone some time.
