    Are they sitting on the roof of the conservatory to have somewhere warm to sit or are they walking over it to get to somewhere else?

    A bit odd but i've heard orange peel is a good deterrent. Apparently they don't like the scent of citrus

    So there you have it: cover the roof with orange peel and relax!


    P.S. My cat walks straight past the orange bowl on her way to the windowsill each morning when she starts dawn patrol observations.

    How is the cat getting up onto the conservatory roof?

    I'm guessing as the forum team removed your comment they didn't find your "jokey suggestion" funny either
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    I think it's likely 'someone' complained and raised its profile.

    So you’re disgusted at the thought of hooking a cat up to the mains but then suggest hooking a human up to the mains? :huh:
    No one suggested that.
    What they did suggest was that the poster who made the comment hooks themselves up to the mains.

    Perhaps you should hook yourself up to the mains.
