Just read your post about your neighbours' cats. We used to have a similar problem, and then a friend gave us a tip. Get one or two imitation dogs, the bigger the better, plut them in the garden and the cats will think they are real and keep away. Moved them around to keep the cats duped. It worked for us. One poor dog only has three legs now, one having broken in a storm.

samuraisan, it would be better to post this again as an answer in old_geezer's original thread - he might have subscribed to that one, he might miss this one as there is no link to the original.

Oh ok Boxtops. Let me see if I can find it.

Lion poo is supposed to work, although the Co-op don't seem to sell it !

Try the Labour and Co-operative party .They give out Bull poo by the bucket load for free.

It's a fallacy that cats and dogs don't get on, don't think that would dupe my cats. Worth a try I suppose.

[Samuraisan]

It does work prudie. The damned cats don't leave their stinky pee in our garden anymore. Have to keep moving the dogs though, maybe they are not THAT dumb.

Reporting you to the RSPA for cruelty to dogs if you go around breaking their legs!

[Samuraisan]

Hahaha DTC, don't forget to tell them they are made out of plaster !

[DTCwordfan]

Just ribbing you.....

[Samuraisan]

I know DTC ;)

//It's a fallacy that cats and dogs don't get on//


No not really, they get on if reared together or the dog is trained not to attack a cat.

When I worked in a grain store, the cats used to come in to catch the mice, my Jack Russell also killed a few of the cats, and they grew up with cats, we had for cats that they got on with, also if my present hounds got hold of a cat I would pity the cat, they have never been trained to accept cats as we dont have any and none near us.

Thanks for the thought.
Shall bear suggestions in mind. Just a little peeved of late as didn't go out the back all winter and come the spring discovered what the neighbours' cats had been up to. Top of the lawn no longer exists save as hay bale on mud & ... Tree now has wire mesh all around although too late to save bark, and pots also covered with same wire mesh so difficult to stand on.
