The handling of the thread should be done by your news client.

You should use your kill file, Tim. Don't feed the troll.

It was only quick stop by. It's in my killfile now.

Posting at the top of an article because that is where your cursor

Oh how anal you are!

I've heard orange peel scattered around the offending area helps, they
don't like the smell.

Hi Mike, Now look what you've done! )
I think the best cure for the cat problem is to invite all the very
friendly people who have helped make this rather long,but definitely
amusing thread over to your garden,and then ask them the cat question
again.
The ensuing(cat fight?)discussion will keep all the cats away.

And,if anyone thinks I'm a troll and wants to kill file me,well too
late,I've already kill filed all of you.

Hello,Hello,is anybody there,it's gone very quiet in here....mmm.
LOL.

Sorry Mike,couldn't resist it.
In answer to your question,the only cures I know work are,the shotgun
type or,a physical barrier.If the area to be protected is something like
a seedbed,then a covering of fleese works well so long as its raised from
the ground a bit.Of course using fleese has a lot more benifits than
keeping cats off.
As for the rest of the garden,well,best of luck.
Hope this helps.

Hey that's a worry - that's the first thing that came into my mind.

I heard somewhere that thin plastic garden mesh laid over the area (and
presumably pegged at the corners), really puts them off because they
can't do their scraping and digging at all easily - they get tangled in
it I suppose.

Or would mouse traps deter them?

Carpet gripper strip along the tops of all fences and gates helps :-))

Carpet gripper works a treat for me as well. But the one thing that really
works is an electronic cat scarer. I've got two. One in the front garden
and one in the rear. They do work and I swear by them.

Just put up a notice (in a small font), on your side of the fence,
warning the cats that you have fitted razor wire or a carpet gripper. If
the owners of the cats haven't bothered to teach the their cats to read
then it isn't your problem.

If the cat doesn't carry any identification and is caught in the local
traps a coating of cooking oil and hot chilli powder ensures that it
will not come back in a hurry - especially if it is left in the trap for
24 hours after the coating is applied.

A BB pistol firing soft plastic pellets and a laser sight is my favourite
way, gives me enjoyment, doesn't harm the cats who invade my garden to
annoy my rabbits, but gives them a good scare.
