Anti cat border plants

Chilli powder
Orange peel
Get some pyracantha and hawthorn twigs on the ground (but don't you tread on them!)

On the flip side, cat litter tray leavings can be beneficial to the gardener as well. It's a brilliant bird repellent. Stops the blighters from helping themselves to my currants without my having to cage the bushes

 

[Reynard]

My neighbours vermin ..I mean cat's do that too..lovely after a rain..cat poo always stinks,unlike dog mess which stops smelling after drying..

That'll be toilet leavings from unneutered males then. Those are stinky.

Neutered cats produce deposits that are far less smelly than dogs. It's as much a hormone thing as anything else.

The press keep going on about cleaning up after dogs, nothing ever gets said about cat owners being responsible, and I find cat sh*t far more nasty than dog sh*t, and I really do object to having to clean it up from my garden when I don`t even own a cat.......VERMIN

 

[Reynard]

Ah, but according to the Animals Act 1971, a cat is deemed to be a wild animal, and therefore a cat, as such, cannot trespass and the owner cannot be legally responsible for what a cat does outside of their property.

Although they are a 'protected animal' under the same act.

Not entirely sure - thought that was the Animal Welfare Act 2005...

It could be, not sure, we had an 'issue' with the guy who lived next door when he attached 'gripper strip' to the top of the fence (spiky side up) Maz told him if our cats were injured on it the RSPCA would be called and he'd be footing the Vet bills......................It was gone later that day.

 

[Reynard]

Without ploughing through the particulars, it's probably the most likely option.

That could have been nasty - glad it was sorted quickly. Fortunately I live out in the boonies and my nearest neighbour is 100m further down the road. And also happens to be a vet.

I actually live between two local feral colonies and often see the cats hunting in the garden at night. During the day, they don't dare try as the girls will see off any intruders. A fair few of the ferals have been sent to the vets and have returned home minus a few parts and pieces.

I bet you're a joy to live next to.

Yep, that's why the couple who live on the other side (the adjoining semi) have keys to our house and we have keys to theirs and often socialise together, the fella who lived the other side was universally disliked by the entire street.

I assume to 'good neighbours' have or at least like cats?
