cat remedy
 

No sorry I don't have a remedy yet. Found a tip in one of this weekend's newspaper liftouts about the plant SOLENOSTEMON CANIS - will deter cats from your garden.

I found out that Solenostemon is a Coleus - and Canis is "dog", but couldn't find the species with both names together.

There was a cat in my backyard the other day and it detours through my coleuses to get to its yard. Hopefully it won't do that again, but I am not sure how effective coleuses are.

Maybe SOLENOSTEMON CANIS is a different plant altogether.

Anyone had any successes with deterring cats?

Thanks for any help

g'day katherine,

have heard lots of suggestions as to which plants might deter cats
over the years but never much on how successfull they are my guess is
maybe not so?

i have my way of detering moggies but we won't go there, as i see an
animal that isn't in its owners full care (on their property) as a
ferel.

we have lots of discarded pet moggies around here (we are in the
suburbs) called ferels living in drains, so currently i mange to keep
them out of my gardens by using my pee around the garden, now how to
keep that ferel from sleeping on the bonnet of the car when the drains
are full of water???

In the same article/tip I was reading, it also mentioned that planting
CATNIP attracts cats, and advises that you ask the neighbour to plant that
one, to keep the cat there, and we plant the COLEUS. Actually when I
chased the cat out of the back yard he went through my coleuses just the
same :-)

g'day stuart,

they are also supposed to be licenesed hear as well, so the stray dog
situation has all but vanished, just cat lovers are not so
responsible, and unfortunately for the hapless gardener who doesn't
want or need cats in his domain once you trap them and release them to
the pound and they get returned to their owners you will never get
them into a trap again. and i have found thorugh experience
irrisponsibale moggie owners soon go looking for their errant ferel
when it doesn't show at brekky time or to their plaintive calls.

My Dad used to tell a great story about when he was plagued with cats. he
was an amateur radio enthusiast and in those days radios were built with
Vacuum tubes and valves which ran off incredibly high voltage and reasonable
amperage, so the trick was a sheet of wire mesh with a bowl of milk in the
middle - one wire from the power supply on the wire one in the milk. Cat
completes the circuit , shoots six feet in the air, hair standing on end and
blue flames coming out its ears - comes down stiff as a board. Claims he got
6 in one night, but by the time the 4th one approached, his mate was
hysterical with laughter and missed the last 3.

Gee and I have an old Kreisler valve job sitting in the laundry (still works
radio that is) only 35 years old. Damn feral got into my blood & bone the
other night but have not been able to get any mince I would eat so it lives
a bit longer.

Having a small pond and a small fish population, eg 5 goldfish we
noticed them disappearing at nights.
Suspecting foul play, we rigged up an electronic low voltage
transformer, with a ignition coil and wired it around the pond.
Testing it personally it seemed that it worked. It didnt seem to kill
humans, but gave them a shock. (Some unkind people would say I tested it
on an animal doing this) At around two oclock, a dog completed the
circuit. The loud yelping as it ran for cover woke the whole court and
was the talk for days. The neighborhood kids didnt come round for some
time either. As the current was measured in microamps it was safe
enough. So be sure to know what youre doing before setting things up for
possums. Theyre not likely to be standing in a pool of water like this
dumb dog was.
The voltage on an old valve radio can be from 200 volts to over 380
volts from memory so isnt the safest, as current would also be
excessive. Do not use it.
Its current is measured to some 200 Milliamps.
If youre not sure, use a transistor radio (grin)

Testing it personally it seemed that it worked. It didnt seem to
kill humans, but gave them a shock. (Some unkind people would say I
tested it on an animal doing this) At around two oclock, a dog
completed the circuit. The loud yelping as it ran for cover woke
the whole court and was the talk for days. The neighborhood kids
didnt come round for some time either. As the current was measured
in microamps it was safe enough. So be sure to know what youre
doing before setting things up for possums. Theyre not likely to be
standing in a pool of water like this dumb dog was.
The voltage on an old valve radio can be from 200 volts to over
380 volts from memory so isnt the safest, as current would also
be excessive. Do not use it.
Its current is measured to some 200 Milliamps.

radios were built with Vacuum tubes and valves which ran off
incredibly high voltage and reasonable amperage, so the trick was
a sheet of wire mesh with a bowl of milk in the middle - one wire
from the power supply on the wire one in the milk. Cat completes
the circuit , shoots six feet in the air, hair standing on end
and blue flames coming out its ears - comes down stiff as a
board. Claims he got 6 in one night, but by the time the 4th one
approached, his mate was hysterical with laughter and missed the

Gee and I have an old Kreisler valve job sitting in the laundry
(still works radio that is) only 35 years old. Damn feral got into
my blood & bone the other night but have not been able to get any
mince I would eat so it lives a bit longer.

In a civilized humane society there are rules (animal welfare laws) about
the way we go about getting rid of pest animals.

Most city and shire councils are able to provide humane traps that can be
used to catch nuisance animals (usually cats), and the animals are then able
to be euthanised humanely.

I suggest you take this option if you are having problems, rather than
encouraging each other in inhumane, cruel (and possibly illegal) practices.

Sorry but I think you missed the point....this is all in jest! ;-)
While I can't comment about councils in other areas I do know that my
local council does not provide the traps you've mentioned, nor does the
RSPCA as I enquired some years ago when a nuisance cat invaded my home
and garden and took to sleeping 'in' my car which was parked 'inside'
the garage and only accessible through the laundry. They will also not
euthanise a healthy animal.

If animal owners (particularly cat owners) kept their animals in their
homes and their yards then the rest of us wouldn't have a problem.

For the record, I've discouraged the latest cat by chasing it everytime
it steps foot into my yard. I also sprayed human urine (mine) along the
fence.......boy, was that an effort!!! LOL I happen to like the native
birds and reptiles that frequent my yard and am protecting them from the
cats which are uninvited and allowed to roam the neighbourhood due to
their uncaring and lazy owners.

No I wasnt jesting.
I was serious.
Rather than killing the poor things, just scare them of so they wont
come back there. They usually vacate the area, till they forget. Cats
and dogs are not stupid. If they get a surprise they learn very quickly.
They hate surprises if they cant work out what happened they stay
clear.If you know what youre doing, no problems.
(PS Using 240 volt mains power may also kill some favourite child. as
well as the ones you dont like (grin!)so you have to be safe...)
Why get the council involved.
Lets face it electric fences are seen as humane.
Mind you under certain circumstances its possible to get a nasty shock
to vital parts.
Im careful where I stop these days for a "rest" whne travelling.

I think you may be wrong here. Any cat not given a home is dispatched
after a time.
I would love to higve a cat a home, but as they are natural bird
killers, I live opposite a park with native birds in it and my landlord
doesnt allow them its probably just as well.

If animal owners (particularly cat owners) kept their animals in their
homes and their yards then the rest of us wouldn't have a problem.

a transister radio!! ROFLMHO!!

I've heard stories about ignition coils in the past and have seen
first hand the reaction of goats to an electric fence.

Don't want to lose my goldfish once I put them in the
fishpond....won't make me very happy at all!!

Having a small pond and a small fish population, eg 5 goldfish we
noticed them disappearing at nights.
Suspecting foul play, we rigged up an electronic low voltage
transformer, with a ignition coil and wired it around the pond.
Testing it personally it seemed that it worked. It didnt seem to
kill humans, but gave them a shock. (Some unkind people would say I
tested it on an animal doing this) At around two oclock, a dog
completed the circuit. The loud yelping as it ran for cover woke
the whole court and was the talk for days. The neighborhood kids
didnt come round for some time either. As the current was measured
in microamps it was safe enough. So be sure to know what youre
doing before setting things up for possums. Theyre not likely to be
standing in a pool of water like this dumb dog was.
The voltage on an old valve radio can be from 200 volts to over
380 volts from memory so isnt the safest, as current would also
be excessive. Do not use it.
Its current is measured to some 200 Milliamps.
If youre not sure, use a transistor radio (grin)

My Dad used to tell a great story about when he was plagued with
cats. he was an amateur radio enthusiast and in those days radios
were built with Vacuum tubes and valves which ran off incredibly
high voltage and reasonable amperage, so the trick was a sheet of
wire mesh with a bowl of milk in the middle - one wire from the
power supply on the wire one in the milk. Cat completes the
circuit , shoots six feet in the air, hair standing on end and
blue flames coming out its ears - comes down stiff as a board.
Claims he got 6 in one night, but by the time the 4th one
approached, his mate was hysterical with laughter and missed the
last 3.



Gee and I have an old Kreisler valve job sitting in the laundry
(still works radio that is) only 35 years old. Damn feral got into
my blood & bone the other night but have not been able to get any
mince I would eat so it lives a bit longer.

Maybe boost your reach by filling a waterpistol ??? :-)

With one of those SuperSquirters you could cover the whole backyard!

I have a SuperSquirter but keep it for water. Urine goes in the 9 litre
hand sprayer, pump it up and wind the nozzle to a fine jet, goes much
further!! LOL

Couldn't picture myself in night attire alongside the fence!! Might
shock someone!! ROFLMHO!!
