Cat Deterrent suggestions

Valium & similar are even better but you need a script. - They have better knock down power. Then valium might be the go. Most pensioners have cupboards full of the stuff! I have used valium to quieten an Indian Mynah so I could try to remove fishing line that was tangled around its leg. At first I went for weight-for-weight comparison with humans, but was way off--I found that about half a tablet was necessary to slow down the bird enough that I could make a grab for it. This is much more than I anticipated. Yes, it was an Indian Mynah. I'm too soft hearted to kill some vermin! -- John Savage (news reply email invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) I could tell you a story or 2 about those little buggers. I don't think they were the best import to our shores at all. A good way to get them is a rat trap believe it or not. They love scavenging and are unable to pass up a free feed. Next best way is the humble .17cal air rifle (in a non built up zone of course!). They are one of the coyest birds around and as cunning as catshit. Shame they give the native bird's nesting sites a caning. Jock |
