Default Keeping the cats out

Cats don't dig up anything deliberately


Er, yes they do. They will destroy a seed bed with ease.

and the only things they eat in a
garden are mice, rats, and birds.


The best way to get rid of cats is to humanely trap them, leave them in
the trap for 6 hours and then spray them with old cooking oil and hot
chilli powder before releasing them. This discourages them from entering
your garden again.

This will not be a problem with responsible pet owners who keep their
animals under control and prevent them from straying around the
neighbourhood.
