Dogs are intelligent, they open the gate.

Well I was thinking of borrowing an air pistol, give them a sting on
the
butt... Any cat lovers got any better ideas, you better be quick.

Well Bob you will face prosecution and probably a good hiding from the
owner, but I guess you know that. Try orange peel, they hate it


I think the lazy (can't be arsed to dig) cats have no sense of smell also.
*I* can smell pepper and lemony pellets, so why cant they?

I will try it next time I have an orange though. Blitz it in a food
processor and mix it with water to spread about?



well if you are going to blitz it why not try putting it in a water pistol
or one of those super blaster things my kids love so much.........

i just thought of that one ............
jack russells are good for cats too

A couple of years ago I was underneath a car outside my garage with an
air-powered underseal spraying gun in my hand when a ginger cat made the
mistake of walking right by. Ever seen a ginger cat with a black go-faster
stripe? It worked!

Yes, we all have problems with cats(me included)! I tried allsorts but,
but
i would of thought a persons pet may come a bit in front of a plant!
Even
for the people whos only freind is a plant!


I am not trying to get them off my plants. They are crapping on my lawn.
If they are not wormed, my children could go blind if they catch worms
from
a patch of infected grass. Not to mention the unsavory effect when the
kids
tread in it, or the football gets covered in it. And around the back of
the
house, it stinks of cat pee. I put my children's health above any animal.

It sounds like you need to buy a catapult soon.

few days then he moved out, the pikey chavscum

Catch, snare, trap, skin, cook, eat.

The ONLY answer, . . . . . . . . unless you wish to conform with the
vermin
owners and get one of the wretched things yourself.

AND if you agree to this, you will agree to driving at 45mph past a
school,
Smoking in a cafe or restuarant and pollute the rest of the people in
there,
Spitting your chewing gum out onto the pavement,

and many other anti social behavioural actions.

Cats? ALL ought to be drowned at birth until such times as they are like
the
Dinosaur........... extinct

They do it when you aren't looking, perhaps it opened the gate?

We get a badger in our garden. When I last fixed the gaps under the fence he came
round the front and in through the gate. My insomniac neighbour saw him!

There's one cat that craps in my garden but her owner has terminal cancer, so it
seems a bit rich to go round there and complain...

I have just suffered a blight of catshit, it must be the
start of the season or something, and they have preferred spots that
they like to wreck.
I've planted the equivalent of the Siegfried line in
short sticks planted vertically in the problem areas, but one enterprising
beast actually managed to dig a large turd in between a set of sticks,
annihilating a foxglove in the process ( there goes two years TLC ),
so I'm gearing up for phase two in the war, in which I envisage
clearing an inviting space in the forest of sticks, full of soft
well-raked
earth, with a little surprise just 'neath the surface for any cat that
won't
take the hint.......;-)

Andy.



A surprise such as?....
