Incorrect. It's very funny. What isn't funny are selfish cat owners, who's cats st here there any everywhere.

We used to have cats st in our garden all the time. Since scaring them stless when I see them in my garden they don't do it any more.

I hate cats... the most pointless creature on the planet.

I think the sprinkler method is the only real way of doing it. Or see if the local rescue will give you something semi-ferral to beat up the locals. Put out an external litter box and you might be okay.

Cat owners are selfish.

But not as selfish as idiots that drive too fast up residential streets.

Or dog owners that crap on pavements (which cats rarely do) or on playing fields.

Or dog owners that put their dogs outside so their barking can annoy the neighbours instead.

Yep, proper selfish us cat owners.

The most pointless creature on the planet? No, that description belongs to the wasp!

I mean, what was The Almighty thinking? On the Seventh Day he'd obviously had enough and decided "I know what'll annoy mankind - a nasty little insect which stings at will and has utterly no point in existing!"

And lo, it came to pass!

I'd nominate the horsefly, but actually, it's probably us.

We all do things that other people would rather nobody did. They put up with ours in return for us putting up with theirs.

The citrus pellets from the pound shop worked well.

Cats are a PITA for neighbours.

Never seen that. What do they do with the dog while they're squatting with their pants round their ankles?

I have to say, I can't complain about elephants. Maybe the ones in the neighbourhood are well trained.

We've had a bit of rain over the weekend and that was enough to render the granules useless, so I won't be getting those again.

I'm installing a sprinkler system tomorrow, I've only got a small front garden so I hope I can set it so it doesn't wash the house or trigger everytime anyone comes to the door!

Get your own cat. For some reason they seem happy to crap everywhere but their own garden, but will fight off any other cats from entering.

They do it on the borders of their territories.
