I can endorse the comments made here on the Ca****ch scarers. I
have two. Ine that covers the back garden and we've been cat free
for five years. And one for the front lawn. Our little estate is
open plan, and the moggies took to using our lawn as a cat toilet. I
bought a second Ca****ch scarer and we've been cat free for the past
4 months on the front lawn. As a previous poster said, move them
around a bit, and if you can buy a transformer rather than relying on
batteries which are quite expensive. I have no connection with the
firm that makes them, other than as a very satisfied user.

I'm sad to say that having purchase and electronic one for my Daughter
it does not work. the cats stroll past give it a look of disdain then
carry on their way. Maybe the cats in Manchester are different, or
perhaps they are all old, and like me their hearing of high frequency
is cream crackered!

I have heard this several times from people who've bought brands other
than Ca****ch, but never from a Ca****ch user, that's why we spent the
extra when we bought ours - what brand was it?

Ca****ch


Sonic Cat repeller "Bye Bye Pussy Cat" (honest) £29.99 from
www.coopersofstortfod.co.uk. Tall and upright. Works but easily
blown/knocked over.

Unable to find any name on the other one but it is more dumpy and easier to
use and relocate. But it works and both keep the vermin out :-))))))))))))))

Very good. :-)

If they released that ad in th UK though they'd probably set a record for
complaints.
