Hi all

I know this is a recurring theme on this group - methods for repelling our
feline "friends".

High pressure washer aimed from point blank range works. I would not
advise a brick!

Was wondering whether repeated chase-outs actually result in the offending
creature learning that a garden is a no-go-zone.

No it just learns to watch out for you.

If so, what level of deterrent is necessary?

Poison inside cat food could work.

Simple chasing out at high speed whenever they are sighted
Chasing and soft missiles - e.g. wet mud
Catapult with hard missiles
Well directed water (I'm considering one of those high powered kids water
gun things ATM)

From what I've read in this group, the retail concoctions and electronic
gizmos aren't worth bothering with.
Hence the list of measures above.
Not interested in replies from cat lovers unless they solve the problem of
cats cr@pping in my veg patch.

TIA

Phil
