Keeping cats out of garden

Pick the crap up and chuck it back over the fence into your garden. |

The machine that normally rips the handles off your luggage is broken, so we're having to do it by hand. We should be finished and on our way shortly." |

I use a hoe, thus getting more mechanical advantage and subsequently, range. Works for snails too. Regards JonH |

He almost never catches birds unless they jump into his mouth but unfortunately a collared dove has done so recently. He ate everything except one wing. If they are so stupid as to not avoid an 11 y o cat they deserve their Darwin award. Tweed |

I rescued the sparrow from it's mouth and it flew away. The cat was spanked and yelled at and it only catches mice now. -- If "con" is the opposite of "pro", then what is the opposite of progress? |
