  • Didn't come across that way! Not funny when you live next door to someone who might try it!

    Pigeon fanciers seem to think that putting antifreeze in milk to kill cats is acceptable.  My brother had to watch two of his cats die a slow horrible death. the vet said there was an epidemic of it around them. if my brother finds out who it is, then it won't just be the cats drinking the antifreeze.image

    I really agree Peat. There's been much coarse language, frivolity, and even a shotgun mentioned on this thread, but nobdy got upset then. Doh.

  • OK guys, no need to have a go at me! I just misread the situation. This is a touchy subject to me so will leave the conversation. Sorry you feel that I over reacted but my cats are important to me.

    Like the 'corks' idea. Would give excuse to drink more wine!

    None but the brave deserve the fair. and fair ground corks OR wine corks, are fine, providing you can keep the cat still enough to insert them into the buggers !

    Phew!  This seems to have got somewhat heated???  Jokes! People! Jokes!  

    On a different note - I bought a cat deterrent and it hasnt done any good at all - in fact a rather savage black cat caught and killed one of my wood pigeons yesterday!  V upsetting (and for the pigeon too I would think)!   The deterrent runs out of battery power v. quickly and only seems to affect one cat (a very young one) but the more experienced 'killer' cats still poo in my garden and still lie in wait for my birds.  I will try the orange peel idea - do cats really like coffee grounds?  Or did I miss the joke?

    Anyone got tips for getting rid of squirrels whilst we're at it?  I squirt mine with water pistol but they still come back.

    When I was a youngster on the farm I got 1/6 a tail for every squirrel I shot with my .410, and they were RED squirrels!  My, but how time changes everything.image
