Default Cat problem

A cat trap, from your local council (with a tasty morsel of chicken),

Extreme? Yes. Effective? Yes. Cruel? No (carbon monoxide poisoning
... they won't feel a thing).

I got so tired of having my toddlers bring me catshit from their
sandpit and wasting my breath telling the neighbours etc etc. Cat
owners are seriously hearing impaired when it comes to complaints
about their treasured felines roaming everywhere except their own
yards.

Works for me, and yes, I CAN sleep at night ... because there aren't
any damn cats howling outside my window at three in the morning.

Anybody got any ideas for keeping aggressive cats out of ones
yard?

I am about to buy a supersoaker but if theres a herbal/chemical
alternative (which doesnt involve any cat poisoning) I would be glad
to hear it. I heard that there is stuff you can put on the garden

to keep cats off, maybe that would work?

actually I am a cat lover. but I keep mine indoors except when
abluting. and i have to stand guard for them whilst they "go" because
of the extreme aggression of this other cat. (and no, they dont go on
the neighbours yard because they like ours..they have their own sandpit
g)

cayenne pepper sounded good. it should work both ways. to keep mine
in boundary and keep "mr savage" ..as i have named him.. out.


Kyte,
It really pleases me when pet owners take measures to
actively control where their pets can go. We have two
neighbourhood cats (owners unknown) that are allowed to
wander day and night, continuously digging up our garden,
defecating everywhere and driving us as well as the local
dogs and our neighbour's "caged" cat crazy. However, the guy
over the fence has a cat run connected to a window cat flap,
so his cat can go in and out as it pleases but cannot
escape, and I have nothing but praise for him. It's great to
see people treating pet ownership as a responsibility and
not a right.
