Guys im having massive problems with the cat that lives next door, I managed to stop it just walking into our house and eating anything it could find, by spraying it with water when it did come in.
Its learnt that lesson now and wont come in even if I leave the back door open.

Now its started leaving dead birds etc and sh*tting all over my garden!, it really is getting nasty.

Now im ready to burry the damn cat, but I'm prepared to listen to other options from people who like cats and may have a simple solution!.

It's bringing you birds because it feels sorry for you, not being able to catch them yourself. Sounds very much like it has adopted you because it feels sorry for you Smile. In my experience water pistols are the only none fatal thing that works.

Get lots of wooden forks like you get with bag's of chips.

Put them all over your garden, pushing them into the ground, for a week with the pointy bit facing upwards. Should learn not to come in after a while. This sounds cruel but isnt as they just wont tread on them.

What about one of these?

https://www.martleyelectronics.co.uk/cat_control.htm#prikka_strip

The prise on that site is a bit hefty but you can pick them up a lot cheaper. Alternatively get a roll of barbed wire..... Laughing

Don't whatever you do physically harm the cat. It's not viewed with favour by the RSPCA.

to quote from the RSPCA

Quote:
You need to be aware that cats are free to roam and are protected by law. Cat owners cannot be sued for damages; it is an offence to steal a cat; it is an offence to harm or terrify a cat; it is also an offence to put down snares or poison or an unlicensed deterrent


With that in mind there are a few possible solutions besides getting a dog. They fall short of actually terrifying a cat and are more deterrents. A combination or some even all can be used at once.

Arrow First - Tell the owners! Perhaps suggest to them they get a litter tray. They may well be unaware that their cat has been doing it's business in other peoples gardens. Once you've told them you are covered. If nothing happens then ring the RSPCA. They will take over in monitoring the situation. A cat is not like a dog and the owner is not directly responsible for it. But certain laws do exist that the RSPCA can use instead.

Arrow Purpose made cat repellant. available from just about any pet shop/garden centre/DIY store and lasts a bit longer in the rain/dew. It smells of citrus to us, but smells like death itself to a cat or dog so they won't go near it. However a lot of people don't like the smell either - It's a case of the lesser evils though i'm afraid. Please note, citrus oil on it's own is illegal to use though so make sure it's an official product with a CE mark.

Arrow Pepper. It needs to be applied often due to rain/morning dew, but sprinkle it all over the areas the cat decides to relieve itself. Like any animal a cat likes to sniff the ground it has chosen to go on.... you can imagine the results and it will soon get the message. Again it can be brought from the pet shop etc, although any pepper will do and you can sometimes buy it in bulk from a farmers warehouse.

Arrow Add some prickly plants to your flower beds. They can deter a cat from using the beds as who likes to be pricked when doing your business?! Also try to keep all 'bare' areas of soil/top dressing covered with green growth - they view these areas like a litter tray. Perhaps plant some low lying ground covering plants.

Arrow Night Eyes!. Well it's actually a black cast iron profile of a cat with two eyes made of reflective material. At night they will glow and scare a cat - they assume it's already the territory of a much bigger cat which has got the 'stare'... Twisted Evil

Arrow Ever seen the film aliens? You know those remote sentry units which triggered off movement? Well you can now purchase those for your garden. A bit more elusive to find than your local garden centre but i'm sure a quick search of the net will locate a seller. They don't have twin 30cal machine guns though i'm afraid! They make use of your hose and spray water. But to most cats being wet is worse than being shot Wink

Anyway, hope this helps. Make sure you tell the owners as a priority. more info can be found on the RSPCA website.

I have air rifles etc and I so wish it was legal to nail this damn thing like any other pest, but its someone lovely fluffykins so thats out the window.
Need to findaway of detering it without harm, only real option I think is a water pistol/hose pipe.

I found those sentry things they are £55!!, im thinking about going round and asking them to clean the cat sh*t out my garden!.
Or pay for one of these things. wonder how that will go down?.

I would throw it over the fence, but lets say the cat seems to have a poor constitution quite often! Sick

Found some interesting things about cats on my search today, the RSPB is doing research as they beleve the comestic cat is a significat factor in the reduction of birds and small mamals etc.
And even the people who are self confessed cat lovers who run a site calle deteracat agree that when they mess in other people gardens cats become a pest!!.

put some tin cans in your garden and shoot them when the cat is close, yes it scares them but in your defence you are allowed to shoot cans in your own garden and you didnt see the shit machine, over time the cat will stop comming, what we did in our garden was put chicken wire behind the fence so when they come in they couldnt get out, this also stopped the little sods, round mine we have a very large amount of stray cats,

always thought air rifles are illegal, and are not aloud to be fired in back gardens anymore.

i had the police round a few times telling me to stop, as ive got a rather nice hunting rifle (air), and i wasnt using the silencer.

If you still have problems,

take the cat, put it in a microwave

turn it on full power 10seconds at a time

ie first time, 10 seconds

if he does it again, do it for 20seconds and so on

he should learn pretty quick not to come in
