Help : Bloody cats

Hi, ive just moved to my first house yey for me trouble is my garden (front and back) is infested with cats and there... well u know what! i dont have any pets and it really peeves me off that i cant go into my garden and sunbathe without having to avoid and move there waste there are about 5-6 cats hovering round, i cant even leave my back door open for fresh air as the last time i did that i had 2 cats fighting in my kitchen

my next door neighbour has 3 cats and just lets them roam free 24/7, trouble is there not the friendliest of neighbours and im scared to say anything, im living on my own and i just dont know what to do??

any advice??

 

Buy a couple of those ultrasonic things that blip in the garden, we had a cat that used me mums herb garden as a litter tray, it doesn't anymore

 

My dad uses a combination of pellets around the garden (make sure you clean up all poops before you put the pellets down) and a supersoaker 2000xp water pistol.

Yes. My dad squirts cats anytime he spots them in the garden ^_^

 

Now I like cats, but don't like any random animals invading my property! (or making a minefield of my back garden...)

info from random website:

So google for any of those products (or check at your local garden centre)

or check out a homemade solution here:

a nice natural way, cats hate citrous, just put lemon juice or something along the fences and in the garden

 

Buy a dog ?

 

My dad used to do that too! (They liked his fish pond...)

Somone shot my cat with an air rifle though which I did not appreciate....

 

My grandfather got a BlackWidow

 

Exactly what we do too. Not only is it fun and ultimately satisfying but they dont come back either.

Dont shoot them with anything traceable otherwise you could suffer criminal charges.

 

Don't shoot them with anything harmful cos that's just cruel.

Our neighbour's cats were fairly persistent though - they'd be back every few days.

 

You can use a special type of pepper dust that you spread around the garden. Cats hate it. I'm sure you can get it from Homebase and such places.

 

Yea, harmful not traceable. I always get those two words mixed up

 

Yea, I do love kitties but I can't deny squirting them is fun ^_^

 

I would suggest a large pit trap.....That way after a few weeks, you'll have a pit full of pissed off cats.....


Now, as to how you're going to mount lasers to them, you're on your own....

 

works very well!

 

BB guns and mouse traps...... they nwont come back.

 

my poor old kitty was shot by some prick with an air rifle years ago she had a couple of slugs embedded in her flesh, not nice tbh.

cat owners generally allow cats to 'roam around 24/7', that's just what cats do. you cant really lock them in the house, or put them on a lead or something

sounds to me like the previous occupants of your house had a female cat, who put it about a bit xD tom's are dirty little buggers, always sniffing around if they think theres some sex available...

what works well for my parents: having a dog. seriously

if thats not an option, super soaker, lemon juice, pepper pellets etc are all good. please just ignore the bb gun (and black widow, gj there mr moderator man ) comments.

 

hi again, thanks for all the replies, ill definatly try putting lemon juice down, if that fails ill get some of them Get Off My Garden crystals

i quite like cats, but i dont want them messing in my gardens, and dont worry i'd never harm an animal

thanks a million for all the tips guys, hugs n kisses all round

 

what about a taser....its not traceable
or even anti-personel mines......there won't be anything left to trace after one of those has gone off

 

And after a few of those go off, you'll be halfway to having your own swimming pool
