Best way to keep cats out of my garden?

moth balls are great but you would have to be careful when bean is big enough to go outside another trick is to fill a pop bottle with water and attach to fence at intervals this is supposed to work because when the cats see their reflection they look bigger and thinks it s another cat think thats why ppl use cds aswell x

water pistol?? or one of those heron scarers that squirt a jet of water, mum and dad had one, worked really well

Amazon.co.uk: heron scarer

lion poo is supposed to work too

Water pistol/sprays. Cats hate getting wet. If you can't sit there targeting them, you can get automatic ones linked to a hosepipe. Your own widdle round the boundaries would tell them it's someone elses territory

is now a good time to mention that my cat sits under the hosepipe or the lawn sprinkler??

Cats hate the smell of oranges, our old cat use to scarper if you had a satsuma.
Or you could get a big dog, we never have cats in our garden as the dogs would try to eat it. The only problem with that is dog poo, but they don`t try to bury it.

there is a post on here somewhere in the foxes thread, with a link to a really good anti cat device, perfectly humane and no problem for bean, its a jet of water thingy, 9 volt battery and programmable, if cats are a problem, and you dont want a dog ( and dogs suck with cats they are scared of them) i suggest you consider one, cats hate getting wet, especially when they dont know where its coming from.....except Lyndas, but she is weird and so is her cat

We found that getting our own cats keeps all others out the garden.

now THAT does work, cats don't dirty their own house

and they dont like other cats on their territory.

I'd dearly love a dog, but as we both work (well, when LadyWayne goes back to work) it wouldn't be fair on the dog.

I've seen the PIR sensor water spray things which I like the idea of. Looks like I need to drink plenty of orange juice then...
