Re: Neighbours.

Hi

There were two separate problems in my OP, Cats and Idiots.

Different things.

Idiots are sorted by razor wire.

Cats are different, clever little things, but I do not like them, they kill my birds, and i love seeing the wild birds in my garden.

I have a cat tunnel, same as the frog tunnel.

Ancient cuddly cat wanders through and is no problem at al

It works for me.


I have a bag of her favourite treats and she can be very annoying until she gets one. She has no chance at all of catching a bird.

I think that's the general idea - damage to would-be intruders and vandals.

I think you're doing a fantastic job with managing it all. Kudo's to you oh weary garden tender.

I'll just say that "Traditions" are just peer pressure from dead people.

I've seen a few. The last was at an oil refinery in Scotland.

Same here. I've seen electric fences, in one case just a couple of cms above the earth for one conductor and the second about 10 cms above the first to keep cats out (bastards) and others about waist height but even barbed wire would be VERY problematic in a domestic setting.
