Hmm no birds in your garden, probably no insects either and no cats.
Sounds a dreadful sterile wasteland.Probably looks pretty enough but
what with all the toxic chemicals you have sprayed, nothing lives there.
Some folks have an odd idea of what a garden should be :0(
Oh by the way, if any pet gets hurt in your garden because of a
deliberate attempt to maim them, not only are you prosecutable but
liable for any vet bills incurred.

Yes, we all have problems with cats(me included)! I tried allsorts 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.

If you have shit on your lawn which looks just like cat shit, then in
all probability it is hedgehog shit.


Hedgehog shit in my garden looks like a squeeze of black toothpaste. I
can live with that.

What I don't like is when those bloody cats have a crap and then try
and cover it up by digging a hole in the lawn. Next door has 6 of the
bloody things and no litter tray, so you can imagine what happens in
my garden :-(

And yes cats do crap on lawns, I have watched one do it. However they
don't seem to like short grass, so I have even more incentive to keep
the lawn tidy.

Cats dont like other cats! They are very territorial, so if you want to stop
cats using your garden as a loo GET A CAT of your own ( and put a litter
tray out for it. Most cats prefer a litter tray anyway).

Cats are the best rat and mouse deterrent too.

Why the hell should I get a cat to deter other peoples cats.

I don't like cats!!!!!

I DO like having my garden full of birds and wildlife.

If you want a cat, KEEP IT INDOORS.
