Keep the cat out my garden!

pineapple

This is sort of funny so I thought I would share.
Yesterday I painstakingly stuck sticks in the ground all around my precious potatoes. I tied rags to some of them and sprayed said rags with eucalyptus and other strong smelly stuff. I was then left with an empty essential oil bottle which however still ponged mightily. So feeling inspired I stuck it upright in the ground. This morning I was just in time to catch the neighbour's oh so distinctive marmalade cat relieving itself next to the potato bed. Cue one humungous (by cat standards) sloppy turd and where was it? Practically on top of the bottle! :mad:

A genuine catwatch absolutely works and........ so the catwatch went up only for a few days and the cat stopped. You can feed the wire under a double glazed window, no problem

But I'm looking at the Catwatch too. Can humans hear the noise?

I bought this one - mainly because nearly 1000 other people have

Just to update have ordered this and will report back. I hope it works as I'm sick of trawling up the garden with chilli powder, holly leaves, chicken manure pellets and bleach! :eek:

My cat comes inside to use the litter tray, I wish i could make him do his business outside!

Its an expensive job trying to keep Cats out of the Garden!
I have bought all kinds of stuff, including an electric device that worked for a while till they got used to it.
I hate to think how much I have spent over the years on stuff!!:eek:
Lets hope this works for you Pineapple.:cool:

Or get your own cat - Preferably an un neutred male. He will spend his days and nights defending his territory with gusto, whilst going to poop as an expansionist territorial gesture in all the neighbouring cat territories!

Failing that, a powerful water pistol and vinegar works exceptionally well with no long-term harm done. I'm a cat lover so please don't ask me how I discovered this!
