Yes! You can rid your garden of a cat forever if you precisely follow
my three point plan. I have employed the following method for nearly
thirty years with 100% success. No more useless ultrasonic 'cat
scarers', lion dung, carpet grippers, water pistols etc. And, more
importantly, no more bird-killing-vermin in your garden.

Here are the three steps:-

1 Trap

2 Drown

3 Repeat as necessary

The need for Step 3 demonstrates that your method is a complete failure
and can guarantee nothing (except perhaps for a certain sadistic
relish). I do note the careful wording of your claim, however, and have
to admit that you can indeed rid your garden of A cat, a particular
specified cat, forever by the means you advocate. The trouble is that
you have to keep on doing it to each specific cat, which is hardly a
solution to the general problem of feline incursion --until, I suppose,
the species becomes extinct as a result; quite a long-term plan.

If you take some time to consider my very effective solution, you will
see the beauty in it.

When you start the plan, you will be carrying out steps 1 & 2 probably
on a daily basis for a couple of (maybe three) weeks - this will then
render your garden vermin-free for *many* months - step 3 then becomes
'maintenance', & is carried out when needed.

Trust me, I have nearly 30 years experience of the above and it has
rendered my garden virtually cat-free.
