Feed them.

Try Chicken and wallpaper stripper but my favourite was beef and warfarin
(100mg), The cats ceased to be a problem!

Hi all,
I encourage wildlife into my garden which is visited and nested by Birds,
squirrels, Fox's,badgers,frogs,toads, newts and the occasional sloworm
and grassnake, I also have an aviary with Cockatiels.

All nice and cosy apart from 2 large black cats, these have collars and
look well fed so I assume they are from some where down the street.
They crap in the garden, have caught collared doves and the other birds
and eat the food I put out for the Badgers and Fox's not to mention
trying to terrorise my cockatiels.
I have been looking for ways to discourage them without harming the rest
of the wildlife.
I don't want a dog or a cat, don't spend enough time at home to do them
justice.
I have looked at sensor watering systems etc.. but have come across this
one:

Anybody any experience of this or similar?

I am a pretty good shot and lots of patience so quite fancy it

I bet you a little fat chap with a bald head and plenty tattoos and your
wear those short sleeve T shirts.....................right.


Is that aimed at me Yes Baby?? I am 5'11", slim, head of hair, no
tattoos and hate short sleeve shirts.

I also abhor unnecessary suffering to any creatures and do not even kill
flies out of hand. I am a committed meat eater but do not use
insecticide in the garden,my plants are designed to encourage insect
life, if greenfly are a pest in the greenhouse I introduce natural
predators, everything goes in a circle.
Whilst I am at it I also detest any form of killing for fun, as a kid I
used to hunt rabbits with dogs and ferrets but they always ended up on
the table.
Deterrent is better than cure that is why I am interested in the item
from the web link.
