How Can I Keep Cats Off My Garden?
I have trouble with cats in my garden and also sitting on the car and scratching the paintwork. Any ideas how to stop this?

try putting orange peel in the garden, sure I’ve heard that works……as for the car, hmm i don’t really know, you could stick some under the window wiper, lol good luck!

I’m assuming that you don’t actually want to hurt the cats in question.
You can use several devices.
1. Motion activated water sprinklers
2. Motion activated ultrasonic devices
3. Scent repellants

i have cats and i apologise on behalf of all cat owners, try spraying lemon or vinegar around the edges and on trees and on your car

keeping a dog in your garden will give you a solution for your problem.

Fill an empty lemonade bottle with water, they dont like the reflection and wont go on your grass. As for the car, nothing a super soaker water gun cant sort out

Lion droppings, or evidently if you can find them (probably on the net) statues of squirrels – but they must have eyes that glow / shine when it is dark.
Don’t tidy your garden as they don’t like that either.
Alternatively a machine gun post is good, or you could try land mines – but this makes gardening difficult plus rather risky

A wonderfull new invention is on the market now, the scare spray. It attaches to a hose pipe and lets out a high powered jet of water aimed at the intruding cat.
I wish I had a garden so i could get one, my poor puss is a house cat so we dont have this problem.
Best of luck

Get the cats to your bed room and lock the door.Then they won’t be able to reach the garden.

You can get battery or mains powered cat repellers. Sends out a very loud noise at a frequency that cats can hear but is too high for humans to hear. This is annoying and frightening to the cats.

Buy a dog or put large plastic bottles with water in them around the garden, Don’t know why but it works

Put some drops of Olbas Oil on some used tea bags and place them around the garden and your car. Cats abhor the smell of the stuff!

I tried absolutely everything including getting tiger dung for the garden, in the end the only thing that worked was to get 2 cats of my own. They are fiercely territorial and keep the other cats out, plus they don’t use our garden for a toilet like the other cats were doing!

I am a cat owner. But I heard orange peel discourages them. Also I saw plants in garden centre that cats don’t like, they had a little tag referring to this, but just ask assistant. Also i heard you can fill plastic mineral bottle with water leave in garden, but this could be for dogs, the reflection frightens them.

You wait in an up-stairs window with your air-rifle at the ready.
If you have any kids or a wife, you get them in a back-bedroom at the window with another air-rifle.
Bloody HATE HATE HATE cats.

1.get a dog
2. get some lion dung spread all over the garden, but the truth is, that it’s neither a good manure nor a very healthy and cool-smelling thing to do
3. make ur fence higher and higher so that cats do not jump in, and if they do, they dont get a way to go out;-)
4. arrange for somebody to scare off the cats
5. put orange peels all over the entrance
6. construct nets or some pricky stuff around the hedge

buy a lion.
or, if you’re near a zoo, get some lion dung and spread it round your garden. the smell will freak the cats out thinking that there’s a mucky great lion about and not come in your garden again.

Put them in time out and take away their cat nip.
