Mr Flum has a superpowered pump action water pistol kept full and primed outside the back door. You can nearly turn a cat inside out with a judicious squirt of water! (Apologies - but only small ones - to cat lovers!)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I still maintain the best way to limit the number of cats that 'use' your garden is to *have* one!
I like my cats.....
Even when they 'inspect' my freshly dug beds........
I do.......
Honest!The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

Doesn't that keep you off too or do you garden in welding gloves steel soled boots!Originally posted by borage View PostI have lost count of the cats in our area but putting down cuttings from my pyracantha and spreading them around the bed keeps them all off.

Hi there I'm new to the site and have to say I have found all your tips really useful, on a variety of topics. My method for putting off cats is a mixture of flour,white pepper and cayenne pepper all mixed together and sprinkled liberally all over the soil. It works really well but only in dry weather, you have to re apply after rain. For small areas I use holly trimmings. I have 3 cats of my own and they detest the stuff.

No I have smallish beds planted and if I need to weed etc I just move them out of the way and then put them backOriginally posted by Paul Phillips View PostDoesn't that keep you off too or do you garden in welding gloves steel soled boots!Comment

I had spent a great deal of time preparing my onion bed last month....
Every dry day I was digging and raking until I had beautiful soil.
Perfect for onions but also it seems as a portaloo for my neighbours cat..
Woke up this morning to find a small hill and a few onion sets dug up..
I brushed the heap flat and picked up what I thought was a rotten onion set.
I was wrong
Rest of the day spent with my hand in dettol.
I'm normally a cat lover but my love was pushed today!I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy

If any other animal behaved like cats do, it'd either get an ASBO, be shot on sight, or have loonies in pink jackets chasing it over the countryside
