Visit the www dot gonegardening site - use google to find it. They have a
variety of things. I've got a crowscarer and even my granddaughter's dogs
are scared to enter that part of the garden to retrieve a ball!

Regards

Ron.

P.S. Find out how to look at the archives and you'll find Mike was quite
often talking on the subject!!!

Trudy,

I operate a mirror of this newsgroup, and this subject is a source of frustration to many (thankfully not me). A good place to start will be some of the recent posts at
http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/search...der=descending
There is also a cat FAQ at http://www.tmac.clara.co.uk/urgring/faqcats1.htm

On a similar note, THE most common search term on the GardenBanter website is for Coleus canina, a plant that is supposed to deter dogs & cats because of the smell.

The people at bionet.plants are however, less than impressed with it's qualities.

Good luck.

I agree. I was suckered into buying these "pee-off" plants. The
neighbourhood cats took delight in doing their nasty business directly on
top of the plants!

Tiger poo! Seriously. My father-in-law used to work at a zoo and his
garden was the local toilet of all neighbourhood cats. The zoo owner gave
him a small amount of tiger stuff which he smeared around parts of the
garden boundary and it worked a treat.

Warning - tigers are giant cats. Tiger poo is giant cat poo. Tiger poo can
smell proportionally worse so use sparingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
