Cats terrorise my fish!
I've recently moved into my new house which has a lovely little pond in the garden - home to 3 goldfish.
The water was so murky that you couldn't see the fish, so I called a guy from a local aquarium company who came out to clean the pond and install a saftey grating (I have a 2 year old child). He also attached meshing to the grate to 'keep the cats from getting the fish'. It hasn't worked! The fish have been terrorised by numerous cats and 2 of the poor buggers have somehow been dragged out and left to die. The remaining goldfish is in a right state, his fins are torn and he has claw marks all over him. How do I keep the cats away - my neighbour recommends trellis along all walls and nails on the gate, has anyone tried this or do you have any other ideas. Thanks |

Do you have electric fido fences over on your side of the pond? They deliver a shock to the intruding animal and usually that is enough to keep them away forever. Or one of those motion activated sprinkers works too. good luck! ka30p http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

Are there raccoons in the UK or other fish eating (don't mind getting wet)
critters? Or are the cats in the UK particularly aggressive?
