Cats like loose soil to dig in, weeding by hand it a good idea as opposed to the hoe. They also don't like the area of my garden that I spread my shreaded pruned material its far to twiggy for their liking. This won't stop them spraying mind you.
Thanks for response about mains vs 9v batteries. Will try it but don't hold out much hope - death of a baby starling by black killer cat this weekend! Right in front of CatWatch thingy!
Re squirrels - yes it is illegal to trap and transport them to another place. If you catch them then you've got to kill them cos they're seen as 'vermin' apparently? I've given up squirting it with water pistol - just shakes it head and keeps on eating the sunflower seeds from the hanging bird feeder!
Might try the cat pepper thing that someone suggested - or try to catch the black killer cat and put a huge loud bell round it's neck (that's not what I really want to put round it's neck~!!!! Joke: I do love cats but not when they kill 'my' birds and poo in my garden!
Not read all this thread but has anyone mentioned pelleted lions poo? Sold at GCs no smell just sprinkle like fertiliser in the area you don't want cats.
Sorry just looked on this thread again- the tea towel joke goes like this: The man who invented Cat's Eyes (for the road) says he got the idea when he saw a cat coming towards him. If it had been walking away from him he'd have invented the tea towel holder.......
Good jokes Mike!..
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have mentioned lion AND tiger poo, ( how twee, Poo !!!! ), but elicited little approval, disparaging put downs and ridicule. Nay, apologise ye not ! I can take it !
Perhaps a little aerosol of big cat urine to really put the mockers on the puddy tats in de garding.
