Sorry, Rosie, but all we know is that none of the methods mentioned in the verse work. Electronic "scarers" do, up to a point, but they're heavy on batteries (we use rechargeable ones). Back in the fifties, my Dad rigged up some sort of trigger wire on the fence, linked to a suspended bucket, that caused cats to be doused with cold water. That did work, but I don't have his engineering skills.And, (re: other debate), to put our "advertising" into context - blog views 10,000 from 77 countries. Book sales (possibly) generated approx 2!
So your attempts to advertise on forums such as this for free are not successful in actually generating sales. Does that mean that your advertising should be allowed because you're just not any good at it or perhaps you are trying to sell a product that no one wants to buy? (Although since people buy tablets that makes your poop glittery one would rather assume you could sell anything on the internet).
I think companies who pay fairly to advertise and contribute towards the running of such websites like this would think not.
Rosie - there are many threads on this forum that actively discuss keeping cats out of the garden, I suggest you hit the search button and take a look at them. I will warn you now that now all people "offering help" are animal friendly and others just outright trolls intent on causing trouble. You might find some of the advice useful however.
Hi Rosie,let me make myself clear i never have nor ever will hurt an animal of any kind,Right at our last house we spent hundreds of pounds on fencing to keep the cats out,we could not fence the front so we slated it,the new owner tells me he has now built a wall, my partner Kate was almost in tears watching her nice garden being destroyed on a daily basis as well as having 3 beautiful slow worm killed, so we tried the Jeyes ready mixed spray on the surrounds of the borders, we did this every other day for a weekish, if we planted anything we gave a little spray around the newly dug area as the cats love freshly dug soil, making sure the spray did not touch the plants, the visits halved in one week then stopped , we sprayed once a fortnight and had only 2 visits in 3 months, i also sprayed across all the driveway entrance and the cats would sniff it and walk on, No cats hurt as they just dont like the smell, i do understand its Not the cats fault, and at the moment our very nice neighbour has just purchased a nice tom so were trying the next door neighbour friend who feeds me sometimes way, hope it works as he,ll be round soon ,i find this ok as i get his company but Dug next door gets the bills
hope this helps Rosie we know how you feel but they can be deterred without tears or harm good luck
If you have nice fine soil, cats love it,SO....... just put lots of flowers in your garden and any spaces put some nice rocks, stones, or ornaments, and hey presto pussycats dont have anywhere to poo, and so on to the next garden with nice fine soil, ahh it worked for me, and i have lots of pleasure just lazing around in my garden looking at all my flowers and shrubs, and no cat poo. and yes i do have a cat , but she does not go roaming i walk her on a harness, in the summer, she has her own sunbed, and is quite happy. Good Luck everyone with cat pooey problems
As our borders are all waterlogged my cat is finding it hard to find nice soil. I my greenhouse has become a favourite this winter, so I'll have to do a soil swap it seems. unless I want tiddle flavoured tomatoes! But I am annoyed with her as I've bought 10 lovely new polyanthus and filled my trough with new compost in readiness for planting. But guess who's taken it over as a toilet? Yes, so I dare not plant them as she'll be watering them for me!
hi everyone I think I have found a solution to keeping cats out of your garden without hurting the cats. We were hounded by our next door neighbours 3 cats doing their business on the soil in our garden. We tried numerous things lions roar supposed to deter and pepper without success. We went to visit my friend who has 3 cats and they never went outside of her garden. She is one of the great people who think that cats should not be doing their business in other peoples garden. On the fence she made what she called a cat tunnel. The simple solution was chicken fence wire half a metre wide so no sharp edges like barbed wire which would hurt a cat. You just bend the chicken wire over the wooden fence in the garden and staple it down,.I would check with your neighbours to see if they want to keep the cats out of their garden first before you staple it over their side of the fence. Lucky for us all our neighbours felt the same way so that they were delighted with the results. Such a easy solution . When we came home I bought some of the chicken wire from ebay which was the perfect size and placed it on the wooden fence around the garden. I was a bit hesitant at first just because the wooden fence did not look so neat with the chicken wire on it but hey presto since we have put the chicken wire up no cats now come into the garden. We have seen the cats come up to our fence look up but turn away and go into some one elses garden. Hence we are delighted that we now do not get the cats dirty business in our garden and the cats are not hurt in any way. We know what it is like to have cats fouling in the garden. Its not a pleasant thing when grandchildren play in the garden and pick up flowers where the cats have been using the ground as a toilet. I would say to everyone give this a try but make sure that your garden is used all around the perimeters of the fence so that when the cat looks at the chicken wire it will not climb or jump into your garden Good luck
