What I have done is to put plastic netting over the gravel ~ it doesn't show at all and has worked a treat

How do you keep your cats in the front? Seems to me that once out they go wherever or whenever they darn well please..

I have a high side gate with trellis over the top and my felines don't even attempt to get over into the front of my property.

I tried that stuff from the zoo made of lion dung, it didn't work.

Ah really ... I had vaguely considered something like that but was concerned that it might look worse than cat poo

Re: Cat deterrents

Here in the States, human urine is used to repell all sorts of vermin.. Rabits, squirrels, chipmunks, deer.. Not sure if it works on cats.. but you might try peeing on your flowers.. :shrug

Yes, hadn't thought of that Julie, perhaps not a good idea after all, wouldn't want to upset my dogs. Thanks.
Was wondering more in line of information on which, if any, any of these smelly products you can buy might work best.
