right-cats-what do I do?

[Fillyjonk]

they keep coming in my garden

am not fast enough to do the water pistol thing

the whole garden is pretty much a big digging thing for the kids to play in atm

I am sick of washing cat crap off shoes esp since I have a young baby too

thoughts?

ah c'mon

otherwise I may have to do something drastic

waht like get a football?

oh I was going to post in pets, and then duck

football idea interesting

the unforgettable cat and football thread

no help, but am watching as I have cat problems too. we have gravel (catlitter tray) in front garden and have freshly dug to plant stuff in my back garden they are having a pooing field day

Dont think they like rosemary i have bushes of this in front (gravel) garden and have never seen any cats or evidence of them. I do remeber hearing that Rosemary is a deterrent, but this is only my anecdotal evidence tho'.

oh that thread is hilarious!

I really really want to wake it from the dead...

will try rosemary

and citronallea

orange peel - my mother swore by it. they hate citrus.

oooh i have lots of orange peel...

do I just scatter it?

my mother used to chop it up in small bits and scatter it, dig it in a little so you cant see all of it, but so its near the surface.

Something like that. Sorry I cant be more specific!

we got a dog. not seen a cat since
BUT if that seems a bit too far...the only cat repellent thingy that worked (and i tried everything else in the garden centre) was something called Cat Off. green squidgy granules that smell of lemon. also had some success after having pruned a shrub that had lots of prickly branches with leaving the prunings scattered all over the bit of flowerbed that they usually crapped on.
