Default Keeping cats out of garden

I wage a semi-constant war on the cat population on the estate where I
live. I have about 6 to 8 cats within 50 yards up and down the road,
and the only cultivated front garden within 100 yards. The result is as
you can imagine.

The solution is to spray male human urine on the garden. It sounds
bizarre but it does work. After about a week of spraying the front
garden, admittedly a small one, morning and evening the cats stop using
it and go elsewhere. This period lasts about two or three months, and
then the cats discover the garden again, and then off we go again.

The sprayer cost me £1.30 pence in the local "pound" shop and the
contents of course are free.

Trust me, it works.


I can see why. Clearly there is a pheromone or something at work that they
mistake for essence of tomcat.
