    They don't work... well, they do for about 5 minutes and then the cats realise they're not actually going to get 'hurt'.

    They are called Prikka strips. You could also use pigeon "spikes" which are made of soft plastic designed to stop birds roosting on rooftops etc.

    That was an attempt at humour and not a real recommendation. :)
  • A friend of mine had a problem with cats and tried using carpet gripper boards but his wife made him change them for the "Prikka" ones as they were more "animal friendly"!

    These didnt work so he got some 6" long flat pieces of metal and drilled 3 holes in them, fixed them to his fence posts and threaded fishing line through them and hey presto, problem solved!
