Better yet, put up a life sized poster of Janet Broccoli.

A poster of that wicked witch will scare away almost everything including
cats, children and munchkins ............but not flying monkeys!!!

I've seen one strange thing recommended for deterring cats- I have

how well it works, but it is dried "lion dung" or pellets treated with

Supposedly they smell a big cat and stay away!

Are you saying that this is a load of crap?

Er, let me rephrase that. Are you saying it doesn't really work? I have
already passed the lion dung idea on to others and I need to know if I'm
making a pointless suggestion!

Of course it's crap. Otherwise, you too would have inherited a
subconscious ancestral terror of being hunted by the sabre-toothed tiger
. The mere sight of a nylon-tiger-fur cushion/blouse, (or a large tabby
cat), would impel you to hide the children up the nearest tree and
snatch a burning brand from the fake-log gas fire.
