I'm a cat lover, have 3 of the them, so am probably a bit more forgiving, but they do the same thing in my garden! Very frustrating and I appreciate totally where you are coming from. However I think Matt is right about the legalities...I'm sure there is a law or by-law that gives cats the right to roam! One of my friend's old neighbours put shards of glass sticking up in his garden, but I'm sure the police got involved eventually!

I think I've said previously on the forum, I'm using netting on (as opposed to above and over) the ground/raised beds as they don't like netting under their paws and will move on! Hopefully this will work!
