Cats in the garden

Or as a drastic measure, get your own cat!
Honestly, it does work, as they view their own back garden as their own territory and once the initial "fighting for territory" has settled down, you should find that the waifs & strays keep away.

Yup, that was going to be my suggestion too.

Thanks, going to give it a go!

If you have a Zoo or Safari Park near you then you can buy lion dung (seriously) and sprinkle this around the boundary of your garden, that will keep cats out ... a guy at my DH's work does this,

Wowsers! Not many lions in Portsmouth unfortunately

We had to look for something for our garden and ended with one of those cat sonars. It's a pain because I can hear it every time it goes off as I walk up the garden path but once I'm inside I can't hear it anymore and it is very effective.

you can lay any twigs/sticks with bits sticking out on the soil. your veggies will grow round/through them and the cats wont like getting twigs up there bum you need quite a few though. I used to use green plastic fencing that comes on a roll round the edge of the veg patch. use garden canes to hold it in place and so it can be easily removed when you want access.

Garlic!!!



and it works!!

We have had same problem and we bought this stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STV-DEFENDERS-CAT-REPELLENT-SPRAY-500ML-FREE-P%26P_W0QQitemZ390291560170QQcmdZViewItem, made us refuse to go in garden for 1st 6hrs afterwards (shut all windows!) but no cat problem anymore.....
