The absolutely best cat scarer is a dead cat. They
won't go anywhere near it.

Your own presumptions lead you to the conclusion.

This is a gardening forum so **** off

There's related drift all over the place in every newsgroup, so
just drop the sanctimonous act. You've spewed about two of your
personal problems so far, got some more, "netcop"?

Your entire participation in this forum begins with calling
me sick on the 23'rd of March 2006 and your *only* participation
is in this thread about cats with a total of 3 posts. You subscribe
through a web interface called gardenbanter.com. It took you 7.5
hours to read my post, sign up on gardenbanter.com, and reply.

I won't confuse you with an ordinary misguided person as you're
just trolling. Have fun, and remember that it was doubtless your
sort of behavior that enraged someone who flooded this newsgroup
for a while. One would have thought that to have been a learning
experience. Obviously you're too thick to learn anything of
consequence.

They attract corvids and noisy squabbling crows and the like are not
an attractive garden feature either.

Yes I have an ultrasonic scarer.
My sons can hear it as a whine, giving them a headache.
The cats just poke their nose into the speaker and treat it with total
disdain.

YMMV

Thanks for saving me the expense of one then Dave!

One works for me and no-one of any age has said that they can hear it.
Mine's combined with a detector so it doesn't sound continuously. I
watched a cat venture on to one of my seed beds, look up very startled
and rapidly depart.

Motion detector sounds like a good idea.
Mine is/was a constant.

I can't hear it, but I have lost a lot of the top end of my hearing
over the last five years.

Hi Steve
I LOVE cats but HATE them messing in my garden. I have cats.
I've got loads of humane suggestions (not like some people)!

1. Best way to get rid of them is to get one of your own (Not kidding)
(That probably won't happen, if you don't already have one so here goes)

Dry out some USED tea bags and spray with ralgex (or similar stinking muscle spray) not the low odour sprays you get. Bury the tea bags a couple of inches in the soil. (works for a few weeks). I just save all the tea bags and have a constant supply.

My mother has a terrible problem with cats so I got some plants called Coleus Canina (Scardy cat Plant). They are only annuals, and not that cheap (but you can take cuttings) There is no scent to the human unless rubbed and cats cannot stand the stench. I placed the plants (in pots) on parts of the garden where the problem is. These plants are not easy to get a hold off. Don't think you can mention websites here, but if you get in touch I can give you mail order address.

In saying all that, I have a border in my garden especially for my cats where I have grown Nepeta (catmint) and some ornamental grasses. I don;t have a problem with my own cat fowling, it's my neighbours.

I study horticulture at college and nearly all of the people at college have cats. It's weird, but most of the famous gardners have cats as well and it doesn't bother them (Alan Tichmarsh loves his cat).

Hi Steve

I hate cats, but am looking for humane suggestions. I don't believe in
spoiling other folks pleasure it's a shame most cat owners dont reciprocate.

Not likely

This is a new one to me, thanks

Thanks, I have seen them in a garden centre I know, I think they are
commonly called 'pee off' plants.

That seems to be the way, cats don't mess on there own patch

Probably because it solves the problem as you suggested in (1)

Many thanks for your thoughts

Cat owner should be encouraging their own pets to shit in their OWN
gardens.

Anyone that says that they don't have a problem with their own cat in
their own gardens are probably the antisocial and irresponsible people
that shouldn't own cats in the first place because they are willing to
export their problems to their neighbours.
