Default Cats in garden

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: http://tinyurl.com/2evhnr.
Anybody any experience of this or similar? I am a
pretty good shot and lots of patience so quite fancy it

Yes seen that type, don't want to deter the foxes though. This is the
one I am looking at:

I've got two sonic cat scarers. One in the front garden and one in the
rear garden. They do work OK. Not identical to yours, but they work,
and we haven't had a cat in the back garden for two years now. Worth
every penny.
