We don't want to harm the cats, just keep them out of the garden. woodglass... 1. A dog and keep it outside in the garden! It's then your dogs crap in the garden unless you take it for a walk (ie. to crap on someone else's grass) 2. An automatic water sprayer made for the purpose. 3. A powerful water pistol. 4. A well aimed bucket of water every time they appear. When decided on your actions have a word with the new neighbours and explain what you intend to do, not that they can do much themselves after their cats have got used to crapping outside. Too late to train them to use a box. They will then understand when their cats come home wet and you will have them on your side (unless they are ignorant people). -- Regards Bob H |

Well we have the same problem and even the dog doesnt keep the cats away!
They just look in disgust and find a higher perch to sit at... I have read various ways such as hanging CD's up, putting orange peel on the garden and "SilentRoar" pellets. Not tried them myself yet though... Donna "woodglass" wrote in message . uk... Whats the best thing to keep cats out of my parents garden ?. New neighbours have moved in next door to my parents.

We don't want to harm the cats, just keep them out of the garden. woodglass... You could try an ultrasonic pet scarer - these are small battery powered devices that look a bit like the PIR detectors that are included in home burglar alarm systems but they have a built-in ultrasonic siren supposed to scare off a range of animals. If it's only cats involved then the variety where you select the frequency range for the animal concerned is the cheapest (they usually will have around 3 or 4 frequency ranges for either cats or dogs or rats/mice or foxes I think). I bought a unit that has a continually variable range that's supposed to deter cats and dogs and rats etc... it seems to work for some cats but it hasn't kept the dogs away (however I understand that when you also use the appropriate mains adaptor for these units then they are a fair bit louder). If you choose to buy one of these I'd suggest you shop around on the Net as I saw the same unit being sold at twice the price by some retailers. Once you've spotted one you think might be appropriate then Google the model number and you'll no doubt find it being sold by several different companies at a range of prices. HTH Howard |

I have read various ways such as hanging CD's up, putting orange peel on the garden and "SilentRoar" pellets. Not tried them myself yet though... The CDs are a strange concept really - I've read it somewhere in here last week and thought it quite strange. I've never seen cats being detered by hang CDs. Birds on the other hand are quite worried of them. But I've used Silent Roar and it was great. It worked the longest, but around 4 weeks is too short time for the cost of the product. I only wish we were closer to a zoo. I have to find something else myself. I've tried scatered crystals which made us very sick for the smell was really over powering. Didn't last more than 2 weeks. We've tried the plastic rod smelling of citronela. Didn't last either, and I keep finding the rods with a pooh next to it ... My tom's too old to be bothered of other cats and my she cat Lilly aka Duchesse is most of the time on her cushion on a platform on the second floor landing. She couldn't care who's or what's in the garden. She's well above it all. So far what worked for the cats from across the road is WATER from water pistols held by kids. My kids enjoy this very much indeed. I haven't seen 2 of hte 6 cats who had the courage to try our cat flap into our kitchen even though we have 2 huge Belgium Shepperd dogs. Dogs didn't deter them but well aimed water pistol did. I never tried the ultrasound things - I don't like techy stuff in a garden. So I recommend water pistols which are really good fun and don't hurt, perhaps only some pride. If your garden is big enough, a water spray on a switch would be handy. Every time the cats come in, switch it on ! We've got a water pistol at the ready on every window seals. Roll on summer :o)) |

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. |

Will 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 :-)))))))))))))) Alternatively, buy a Ford! http://www.swingadeadcat.com/video/ford1.htm Graham |

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... Believe it or not the answer is to get a cat yourself. My cat uses a litter tray and keeps all other cats out of her territory. I have not seen her back down to any cat including stray toms. Can I swap cats, please? My cat can't even keep other cats from coming in our cat-flap, let alone coming in the garden! -- Linz Wet Yorks My last cat was like that. I got an electromagnetic cat flap to help him out. He was such a gentle cat though and I loved him to bits. |
