    Annoying cat

    Any tried and tested methods of preventing the neighbourhood cat from using my empty flowerbed as a cat litter?

    As an aside, it's a lardy gut bucket as it struggled to leap onto the fence last week when I scared it.

    If it's a freshly dug bed there is not much you can do as cats like to dig and bury.
    Put some shrubs in it?

      Be grateful it's not a dog - at least cats bury it ...

        Dig some lion tulip in to the bed. Cat won't go within a two mile radius.

          Put slate chippings down, they don't like that, faliling that give him a spray with the garden hose, he'll soon bugger orf.

          Remove whatever he has "done" there as its a scent marker and they'll always come bacl to the same place.

          Someone did mention if you pee'd there yourself they would be put off, but you don't want to shock the neighbours

            Those cheap little wire border things you can get to put round flower beds stopped them going in our sparrow dust bath area. They could easily go over it but they don't for some reason. Too lazy maybe. Ghastly creatures.

            PS I heard that thing about them not going where you had peed from a bloke in the garden centre queue a while back. Didn't wait for the details, when a guy you don't know comes up to you and starts chatting about bodily functions there usually a motive in my experience.

              A saucer full of antifreeze will do the trick I hear

                  You could also put chilli powder and pepper down, as that did the trick when I had problems with neighbours cats in London.

                  Failing that get your own, then you won't have cattulip in your garden and your cat will just tulip in everyone elses
