Default Keeping cats out the garden

Right i remember as a boy delivering papers some garden lovers leaving juice bottles full of water or similar on the flower beds etc etc , is this a method of keeping cats away

Fuckin cat next door is in my garden all teh time and i noticed this mornin that its shitting aswell

Not happy as thats my 2 year olds garden to play in and he is a bugger for doing what 2 year olds do and pick up muck and fill his pockets with it etc etc and i really dont want him putting summit that smells like a beef oxo cube in there either

any other tips other than shooting the fucker ???

Leave a bowl of weedkiller out for a drinkypoo.....

catch it then take it to a new home,somewhere in the country.


Or you could use a super soaker water pistol, after about the 5th or 6th time it'll stay well away from you garden.

That is by far the most effective and humane way.

I have the same problem, the last cat sounded like a baby crying and shat everywhere.Nasty tatty thing it was.

I used to collect the shite and throw it all over their garden (which they kept mint). Then it vanished lol!!

They had poster up the lot, but that cat never came back!

Then, the other month, they get another cat and it is in the garden, the misses goes charging out to chase it, followed by me, then we find it is such a nice little kitten we now let it wonder round the house and it has adopted us.

To frekin soft I tell ye lol!!

Trouble with cats are people think it is fine for them to rome, they are very hard to keep out and their shat STINKS and if I had kids I would be pretty miffed to be honest.

You wouldn't tolorate a dog being left to roll around you back garden.

Don't get me started on this one again

I have the problem with cats jumping up on my car and onto a neighbours wall. Problem is though is that its out of sight so I can't see them doing it, just get the scratches and dirty foot prints all the time.

I have tried everything to get rid of them, last thing on my list is to entice them into a box and take them on holiday!!


Don't get me wrong I am an animal lover, it is the selfishnessness of the owners of the cats to be happy to let it happen. I have mentioned it to the owner of the cat and they say there is nothing they can do, which is bollocks, they should be doing what they can to stop their animal fouling and damaging other's property.

i have 4 cats and i try my best to keep them within the back ,front of house etc
although i cannot keep control all the time as they like to wonder climb trees etc
i also have good neighbours on both sides who have dogs
there is not an ounce of any problem
as mentioned above antifreeze and all that just isn't the answer
speaking nicely to the owner is then take it from there
if i caught or knew somec@nt had tampered with any of my cats then they would recieve a piece of my mind .

get a water pistol to scare the cat away it does work doing it once doesnt or one of them pop up water things.

for ya car getting scratched etc get a car cover then it wont get wet shitted up or scratched.

any other way is just out of order and makes u look and prove ya a cunt. everytime the kids across the street come in my garden to trample over everything to get the ball they lost i dont get my gun out and shoot them. they do more damage than animals do. if a cat shits get a shovel or tissue and bag it or flick it into the mud its not a hard thing and takes like 1min to do.

Same old thread doing its rounds with the same old twat-ish replys from idiots who dont deserves to be on this earth if they are actually serious. Although i do wonder whether some people make these comments for a reaction. Sad either way.

There free roaming animals and its just a part of life. Deal with it. Use the water method and if its done properly, then 99% of the time, it will work. Orange peel is also said to work well. How can the owners of these cats stop them going where they want too? They cant, so dont blame the owners either. Its life. If you dont want your kids picking it up (although as said, no doubt we've all picked it up when kids and we're still here), then make sure your gardens fit for them beofre letting them out in it. Or better still, keep an eye on them. Its not that difficult.

And anyone who would even seriously consider taking a cat away from its family and dumping it miles away, is just total scum and will get what they deserve at some stage in life.

If all these people have to worry about in life is a bit of cat shit or a cat wandering around your property, then you you to take a long hard look at yourself. Put things into perspective for gods sake!

Anyway, rant over.

If I caught a fleebag cat pooing in my garden it would get volleyed over the fence Marco Van Basten style, that's my humane way.

They can't mate but what they can do is get there arse round and clean up after it. You have a pet then you're responsible for it. Don't get me wrong once or twice is fine to deal with but if it keeps doing it with your own kids about then they should sort it.
