Re: Cats and Idiots.

One last time - this works - it doesn't hurt the cats and does not effect other wildlife - birds, hedgehogs etc.,

https://cat-repellent.co.uk/?gclid=C...IaAtFmEALw_wcB

It is £59 - but if it does the job isn't it worth it?

Hi

There are two issues here, idiots and cats.

It is not just a matter of cats pooing in my garden, it is the issue with wild birds.

I prefer them in my garden to cats.

The idiots are human, razor wire is something they understand.

And no Mups, I can put it up.

You do not stretch it, you put it up loose and coil it.

It is very different to barbed wire, which I still have the stretchers for after living on the smallholding.

Barbed wire is stretched, a deterrent to cattle.

Razor wire is designed to snag clothing.

Re: Cats and Idiots.

Why not store all the cat's poo in the shed, then just wait for someone to steal it?

Well - that little machine would rid your garden of cats without bothering the birds, Swimmy. Unlike a lot of sonic deterrents it is specifically designed to deter cats.

As for human trespassers - razor wire, man traps and alligator infested moats are good!!

That is probably true but there must be a similar trap available, I vaguely remember my old man using something similar to trap rats near his rabbits. The advantages is that they don't hurt the cats being basically a cage with a spring loaded door.



it was a solution that worked well for me I never get cats in my garden, just lots of birds now, the possum trap sits unused in my garage. it is by far the easiest solution for a cat problem.

Re: Cats and Idiots.

As you have Ring Security why the need for razor wire when you could have window and door sensors on the shed and an exterior siren . I did have a large pond that need protecting from the hungry heron I used a water cannon it worked a treat ,it also caught my dog it would definitely deter cats.
This one is for cats https://www.primrose.co.uk/-p-1907.h...iABEgIBjvD_BwE

Re: Cats and Idiots.

I had trouble with the pigeons nesting in the little copse across the road. So I caught them and drove them 300 miles to Basingstoke and let them go......



They beat me home......
