Orange Peel Cat Deterrent

[TonyF]

I always wondered how you get the cat into the catapult and how big the catapult needs to be/strength of elastic - granny knicker strength or stronger - to get it back over the hedge.

There are ways to deter the cats without firing misiles at them

I use trimmings off the pyracantha, spread them over the bed and they dont go near it.

Getting the cat into the catapult IS difficult, especially with a domesticated semi-feral one like BC, who well remembers how to be feral when she wants to!
Tony, it depends how high the hedge is. But one thing's for sure, you won't run short of granny-knicker-strength elastic, or stronger, over there!!

Lj will be able to post you some extra strong hand trapper elastic Tony if you just ask her nicely. As used on medieval trebuchet's.
