decorate your flower beds with pine cones. The cats don't like the points on them. It works for us. I collect pine cones in a large garbage bag and arrange them in the garden where cats try to relieve themselves. The pine cones are also attractive in the garden.

Reply:put orange peels in the flower beds, cats hate citrus. Otherwise, leave those poor kittys alone.

Reply:I only suggestion is - if you are there and see them, squirt them with a hose. Or yelling/scaring them may work. (That is, discourage them from even coming in the yard.) I had strays in my yard, and they haven't been around since I started using the hose on them -- unless they come around at night %26amp; I don't see them (?).





I don't know what else to suggest...

We call ours 'Cat **** Alley'


We have literally tried everything - even getting a cat which we were told are very territorial and will keep all the other moggies at bay - DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!


We must have gotten ourselves the most laid back, gregarious cat in the district - I swear to GOD! it holds its own open house jamborees, because since the arrival of 'Bummy' we have counted no less than 12 cats in all at the same time on our small patch!





So now, every so often we go out with a bucket and trowel and have a clear up. Another lie! - that cats are very clean and will bury their poo. Only occasionally, when we do any hoeing or planting do we come across those smelly, squidgy tubers.

Reply:Go for a plant called Coleus canina which works a treat. It has a really strong smell ( to cats ) and keeps them away but is perfectly harmless to them. Plant these around the perimeter of your garden to form an effective barrier.


The alternative is a product called Silent Roar which contains Lion Dung. This has the benefit of being good for all your plants in the garden as well as keeping those pesky cats away. Good luck !!!!
