    Investment in an air rifle can do wonders for the hand/eye co-ordination and provides hours of entertainment.

    There is nothing more satisfying than hitting the little barstards with a well-aimed half-brick, as I managed to do on Sunday.

    Allegedly.

    I bet he can already see the herd of wildebeest sweeping majestically into the sunset from 17 Acacia Avenue.

    Good point owl. Hyenas too. According to a David Attenborough prog. I saw they like rolling in it. Before you know it his garden could look like the Serengeti.

    Lion dung.

    Purchased from Robert Dyas and worth every penny of the £8.99.
    Sounds good, but what if a lion escapes from the local zoo? Wouldn't it be attracted to your garden?

    Just phone your local Chinese takeaway, and tell them you have some spare cats. Problem solved. (Just don't tell Mrs M I said that.)

    Unless your cat is a wimp like me..and lets the other cats eat my food and crap in my owner's garden.

    a dog works quite well..I'd never crap in a garden with a dog in it.
