Unfortunately 'tis a walled garden (terrace house).

Hmmm, just had a nose at that. Not sure if I could make it work, as the garage is right next to one wall (they like sunning themselves on that) and there are lots of irregular edges if you see what I mean (rear gate etc). I may end up with the entire population of local cats trapped in my garden. Lol

Some plotting is required methinks. Cheers for the pointer though.

I considered an ultrasonic device but then the neighbour's cat would probably never come out of their house. :rotfl:

Sorry for taking this OT.:o

ermmm the fence is originally meant to keep cats in - if you want to keep cats out, you will need to attach it "the other way round"

Ah, yeah, good point. My neighbours would not agree to that.:doh:
Back to the drawing board.

We have a no plant/flower rule in our house. We were unlucky enough, or should I say Salem was unlucky enough, to have gone through lily poisioning. When we got Salem we never knew lilies were poisionous. Salem was around 6 months old at the time and OH thought he would buy me some to cheer me up. They were put in a room where Salem wasn't allowed usually as he kept playing with them. He managed to sneak in and ate one stamen from each lily (5 in total) and had eaten half of one of the leaves. It is the most horrible and scary thing we have ever been through. Luckily for us he was given the all clear after a weekend stay at the vets but have been told that there is an increased risk of him suffering kidney problems when he is older.

We were told that although the stamen/pollen is the most toxic part of the flower they can still suffer poisioning from eating the leaves, flowers and stems.
