Whats the best thing to keep cats out.......... ?
Whats the best thing to keep cats out of my parents garden ?.
New neighbours have moved in next door to my parents. They have 7 cats that crap all over the garden. We don't want to harm the cats, just keep them out of the garden. woodglass... How about a catapult? You wouldn't need to use "ammunition" that could injure the cat, a little garden soil fired at them may be all that's needed to frighten them off. You can get suitable catapults from fishing shops - they are used to broadcast bait onto the water. Can't help wondering if catapults were originally designed for this function hence the name 'pelt a cat', cat a pult :-) Norman Digger. |

Kata means against and peltes means hurler. Stephen |
