There's a real gap in the market for a book titled "Security Plantings",
describing all the spiny thicket forming plants which are actually
in some other way horticulturally attractive. It would have a section
on screens and possibly a (very thin) section on attempts at cat-proofing.

Talk to your local policy security advisor - at least one police force
gives out a leaflet describing different plants for security hedging.

I've seen those leaflets. They're a start but what I want is an A4,
~160page coffee table size book with glossy pictures of Rubus Cockburnianus
looking threatening.

I doubt that burglars, small boys or cats will be discouraged by a
book, even if you hang it in the path they use. You could use it
to throw at cats, I suppose.
