Any good tips for keeping cats from the garden?
Question:My dad grows fruit and veg in his garden and the neighbours cat keeps doing its business all over the place. Has anyone any ideas how he can stop it.
Answers:
I use a supersoaker water gun bought from Argos it shoots water about 25ft i always try to get the cat from behind, it works best when the cat has its tail in the air. When you get the cat it always looks round with a morn-full look on its face. After the second time they don't come back.
Good shooting
Dry out coffee grins and put them in the garden or moth balls but don't put them down if there are children they will think they are marshmellows coffee ginds always helped me they put out a smell cats hate it
Airguns work good..Aim for the eyes and hopefully they wont come back again..
A bloody big shot gun i hate cats, there is a gadget you can get in the garden centre that sends out sounds that only the cats can hear , my mum has one and it works great for her.
Use lemon peel or lemon juice, they hate the smell of it and will know not to come back.
I got read of the cats in our garden when I got a dog
get a rounded top fence to put round the veg, cats cant judge their distances to climb over, it confuses them so wont get into the veg n ruin anyfing. you can also get sprays that cats dont like so they will stay away from the vegtables, we use it 2 stop our cat from getting into my bro's pram or cot
Sprinkle some cayenne pepper all around. they hate it.
It will keep them away!
Plants from the Lily family are highly toxic and often lethal to cats. Get some cat food and mix in some shredded Tiger Lily leaves and leave for the offending moggy to eat, the cat won't come back again.
I'll tell you what I do...and it works every time...I sprinkle red chili flakes around the plants...its really funny to see them sneeze, and it doesn't hurt them...and they don't come back...works every time.
and it doesn't hurt the plants.
get some droppings from the local zoo of a tiger
they are scared , serious i got some it works
grrrrr ,
Hi
On the assumption you do not wish to hurt the offending cat there is a device which is an ultrasonic unit which sends out a high pitch sound which is very unpleasant to a cat these work very well.
You can get one from Maplins or just look on the Internet/EBay

Anything with peel, oranges are good, as the other person said, lemons work too.
I have two dogs which chase cats, there's a sonic cat scarer, yet I'm still plagued by the little devils. If you do find the ultimate deterrent I'd be interested to know what it is!
cayenne pepper that might not be the correct spelling but you will get the drift and get it from any supermarket spread it all round boundaries of your garden it work's for me
put dog urine around garden...or bear or similar item it works u can buy it lots of places
There is nothing so fun for me as letting my border collie mix dog, Paisley, out the patio door when there is a cat approaching my garden, he takes off like a shot, and the cat is so scared he practically runs out of his skin...LOL Therefore the cats do not return, unless they are very stupid cats...they never know when Paisley might get them. :-) It also keeps the cats from coming round and killing the songbirds at my birdfeeders. I love my dog. Everyone should have a Paisley.
