Dogs only work when you wind them up chanting 'cat, cat, cat, etc then open the door. Works well but you have to had spotted the cat. Same goes for rifles.

Tasty bowl of antifreeze on the other hand ;-)

• waits for the pest lovers to go wild*, seriously though I hate cats stting on my lettuce, if I could find who the owners were I'd try and get to dogs to dump on their drive way.

I had a friend who had cats poisoned into a bad case of deadness with antifreeze.


However, I am not going to go wild, as it seems to be effort.

Scatter either orange peel or slightly crushed garlic cloves. They don't like either and should stay away.

Try this as a more amusing suggestion....

If you push frozen sausages into your lawn this seems to deter cats. Not sure how, though.

i think you are supposed to push them into the cats. lawns is for troublesome humans.

Thanks for all the responses fellas, a lot of them made me laugh! I think the sausage option is out, if I'm spotted shoving them into the grass I suspect a man in a van and a straight jacket for me might ensue!

The automated hose one seems a possibility, shame I'm not a dog lover, I bet that works a treat!

That's exactly what we do!
Although, its becoming less effective now as a) the dog is going deaf and b) the cats now just sit on the fence and watch our dog barking at them (he's a small-ish dog so can't jump that high).


Sorry OP, can't add much more than has been said, as sadly we have the same issue, the neighbours (who we don't get on with anyway) have 5 cats and they're locked out 24/7
