My neighbours don't like cats. We have four of them.
This could easily be me. I f
king hate dirty fking cats, stting in my garden and generally using my bush as shade. I possess a motion-activated sprinkler for the
s, and lay down a large quantity of chilli powder to keep them out. I've had the sprinkler off all summer but have taken to running out of my back door at speed whilst shouting at cats in my garden- probably like a scene from dawn of the dead.I did have a thread on here once which had all sorts of innovative ways of keeping b
d cats out, including one suggestion of chicken wire connected to the mains. I liked that idea.StuTheGrouch said:

best way to keep em out is to get you're own tomcat, there like gansta homies with their territory, I can appreciate not liking something.. but hating on an animal is abit special, king hate dirty fking cats, stting in my garden and generally using my bush as shade.

The unwelcome cat will either lose the first encounter or be too s
t scared to come back for a rematch.One of my neighbours has some kind of electronic device that makes irritating "Whit-Woo" noises every time it is motion triggered. I assume the high pitched noise is supposed to scare the cats away, or keep them out of the patch of gravel at the front of his house, but all it seems to do is go off every time I come in or out of my house, or anyone walks past, or any car drives past.
Some nights it seems to be on a timer, "Whit-Woo-ing" every couple of minutes. One time it's battery must have been dying as it was beeping every few minutes irritating the hell out of me for hours when I was trying to sleep. I went out, knelt down to switch the damned thing off and put my hand in cat sh*t. Seemed the rebellious moggies next door to him weren't bothered by his attempts to keep them away...

Best way to keep cats out of your garden is to borrow or adopt a retired Greyhound.

But then you're stuck with a big smelly dog in the house. Solve one problem by creating another!The unwelcome cat will either lose the first encounter or be too s

My neighbours don't like cats. We have four of them.
I've seen my neighbour run to the back of the garden with a hose trying to get one of them. My cat just looked at him with a look of 'what the fk are you doing?'
They've put up some kind of anti cat things on the fence, doesn't work.
They've now got pop up cats in the garden...
Hard to explain. Hopefully the photo shows them.
I'm hoping I see one of mine taking a huge st next to one.
Can you get into their garden when they're not there, and apply a quantity of catnip to the popup cats????I've seen my neighbour run to the back of the garden with a hose trying to get one of them. My cat just looked at him with a look of 'what the f

When I was moving into my current place, the next door neighbour came home as I was unloading the van. Kindly old lady, little bit doddery, seemed sweet enough and maybe just a little bit senile nowadays - you know the way. She was just about to head indoors when she turned back and said "oh by the way, I am shorry, I'm not usually like thish you know. You see, I'm quite drunk 
"
This was at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon.
Still, each to their own. At least living next door to an old biddy I'll have a quiet life.
Not so.
Every weekend her fella comes round and every bloody weekend there is a huge screaming row. Properly hysterical teenager style shrieking. The first time I heard it I actually assumed perhaps she had a daughter come to visit that she had a strained relationship with or something. Not so. It's her. I'm 20-something, it should be me causing the noise complaints not her!

king cat of my own. They st in the bush out the front of my house so I smell it as I leave the house. I investigated the source and actually found a pile of sts on top of each other. Looked a bit odd but was layered like a cake! Dirty gits.Over the winter they used to s
t in the middle of my lawn. Not in the soil, but smack bang in the middle of the lawn. That resulted in the scarecrow (sprinkler thing).The chilli powder is behind the bush out the front and so far seems to have worked.
Their very existence doesn't bother me. I'm not a psychotic cat hater, but I don't appreciate the mountains of s
t they put on my property. Problem here is that every fker in my neighbourhood has cats and dogs, so my garden is the prime target for a territory battle. I am the man with the three foot high grass in my front garden for one simple reason it winds the hell out of one of my neighbours who is a parish councillor and is desperate for the village to win some britian in bloom award.
It costs me nothing in time or effort and I have various insects and frogs and toads etc in residence(even a few newts).
And it puts a smile on my face every time I pass him in the street

Excellent. You have a wildlife garden. It costs me nothing in time or effort and I have various insects and frogs and toads etc in residence(even a few newts).
