Cat advice required

Here's the problem:

It's spring so I spent last weekend carefully putting bedding plants in my garden borders.

Checked the garden last night and found that a good number of my plants had been dug up and torn to pieces.

To add insult to injury, some fecking filthy cat had done several moist stinky shits in the EXACT same spots where my plants used to be.

How do I get rid of my local cats? Is it illegal to shoot them if they're on your property (i.e. with an air rifle or catapult)?

 

Stick some gravel/stones down over soil. nt

 

get some empty pop bottles and fill them with water. place these around the garden at strategic points and that should work. cats are scared of reflections. thats what i was told to do a few year ago and it works.

ps don't think you can shoot them!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds Stupid

But my Grandad as pieces of hose pipe about 1ft long in his flower beds & it does the trick. I havent got a clue how it fooking works

 

fed up of this freaking question gets asked every 2 week- read through previous posts idle git

fed up of this freaking argument i have 3 cats and they can **** where they want</p>

</p>

 

I have a similar problem

Every few weeks I check the BBS to find that it's been invaded by posts about cats shitting in people's gardens.

To add insult to injury they then trigger the same cats v dogs debate **** in the EXACT same spots where my posts used to be.

How do I get rid of them? Is it illegal to hack into the site and delete them (i.e. with a delete button or database script)?

Failing this get a Dog

RE: Can my dog **** all over your lawn please? nt nt

no problem- i have 2 dogs of my own

 

Get one of those PIR water guns, run off

batteries.

Alternatively just use hustler pellets in the old air rifle, won't break the skin but will sting like a barsteward!!!

Either way they won't be back!!!!

 

A few suggestions for you

I've not tried any of these, but I am led to believe that they work:-</p>

Moth balls</p>

Garlic Cloves</p>

Marigolds - the flower, not gloves ! Apprantly, cats won't poo where the marigold plant is because they can't stand the smell.</p>

Bottled water - according to rumour, the cat see it's reflection in the bottle and is frightened half to death and never returns. Hmm, not convinced by that one, like.</p>

</p>

 

Yeah bottled water is a popular one back home in Oz.

Shooting them is number 1 though.

 

RE: A few suggestions for you

I had the same problem. I asked my neighbour to be aware I was putting cat repellant down, they did not bother.
So I borrowed my brother-in-laws rifle and shot one of their cats Problem solved!

 

I bow down before your bravery

Was it a big cat? Did it have sharp, pointy teeth?

Big man.

 

RE: I bow down before your bravery

No bit it has diseases like any thing else that I don't want my daughter to catch while she is playing in MY garden!

 

Chili powder - that upsets the little buggers' flow!

Or failing that, Lion crap apparently scares them shitless (literally)

 

RE: Sounds Stupid

cats are scared of snakes

 

Lions Pee apparently the top stuff nt

 

RE: I bow down before your bravery

Fair enough but there are other ways to keep them out than killing them. I don't like Leeds fans but I can't just go around shooting them.

 

just borrow my hawk or eagle owl the problem is they cant eat a full cat and after plucking you end up with fur all over the place
