Help Cats!!

Recommended Posts

I do like cats, but not using my front garden as their toilet :x I've planted some things, but as we've just moved in its going to take a while for them to grow. Any ideas I can use as a deterrent, essential oils maybe. Please help! :D

Pepe they are such a problem when they do their business in your garden arent they! :evil:

 

The folks who owned our house before us had cats as do both our neighbours and when we moved in there was cat pooh everywhere in the garden. :( The dogs loved it! :vom::roll:

 

We tried quite a lot of products but the one that worked the best was a box of 'Silent Roar'.

I think it is made of lion pooh :lol:

The idea being that cats like their own territory and if they can smell a bigger cat they will go else where. It worked for us so you could give it a try.

 

Google it and see if you can find some. :idea:

I hear those sonic things that you can by in B&Q are supposed to work quite well.

 

I had one, had to stop using it because I could hear it :shock:

 

I used to have a problem with cats visiting in the back garden but now I have fine wire on the top of the fence panels, they can't climb over it. I tried to do something 'smart' in the front garden with gravel once, until I realised it was like a giant cat litter tray, they were positively queuing up at the gate to use it :evil:

 

They don't like curry powder as they sniff everywhere with their delicate noses, and it burns a bit I imagine.

 

I don't dislike cats by the way, just don't like 'em in my garden.

We've just started finding little "presents" left outside the front of our house. Sooo annoying and quite repulsive. I think I'll try chilli powder! :evil:

 

For a minute there i though you owned the cat and your neighbours were returning 'what was yours'! :lol::lol::lol:

 

:lol::lol::lol: I should read my posts before submitting them! :lol::lol::lol:

Not sure if it helps but we had a problem with cats coming into our back garden and scaring the chickens.

A friend advised me to dilute some Jeyes fluid and paint it onto parts of our fence and wall. Doing it this way keeps it away from the soil and any pets. Apparently, cats can't stand the smell of it and stay well away.

I gave it a try three weeks ago (applying once a week) and have been cat free throughout. I told my neighbours too and they have had the same success. :D

Jeyes fluid is poisonous to cats so I wouldn't advise this unless you want an irate owner claiming you have killed tiddles :shock:

 

Yes they hate the smell but any cleaner that contains phenol (turns the water white) should not be used where cats may walk as they absorb it through their skin :?

I won't say what I normally say then about cats? :D:wink:

 

Apparently, they don't like citrus peel either? I haven't tried that but I do keep used tea bags and put a couple of drops of Olbas Oil on them and scatter them among the plants in the veggie garden. It seems to keep the farm cats away and they don't look too obvious either.

 

Off topic here :wink: - I came home yesterday, opened the front door and ....................... let out a cat :shock: We don't have a house cat :shock: Tom had obviously wandered in when we had the door open and had been locked in! Luckily I'd shut the bedroom door - or we'd be moving house again :roll::wink:
