Just had potential buyers round for my house and they said they would make

Not a safety issue, they are just not into ponds.

Maybe I should stipulate in the advertisement that the pond must remain a
pond for the next thirty years as per contract.

Just mention casually to them that there are a LOT of cats in the
neighborhood... The thought of a pond-sized sandbox boggles the mind!
