Reet Mister Suit. You know I've got cats so I do have a certain amount of experience in the matter. Firstly though, it seems peculiar to me for any cat to come into your garden, especially as you have dogs, but to answer your question. Place pieces of orange peel in and around your garden, hidden of course not to spoil the look of it. That will keep cats at bay. DO NOT plant any mint in your garden because cats are attracted to and love it. Please, I beg you, DO NOT put pepper down as was suggested by Levi. Apart from the fact it's extremely cruel it can damage a cat's sense of smell irreparably as the pepper can damage the fine hairs inside their noses which gives them the ability to sniff and breathe properly, which can bring on illness in later life, and if there are any feral cats around, that is their only way of sniffing out food. There are other preparations on the market and, sorry Sal, but I've heard the sonar doesn't work effectively. Am I having de ja vu, 'cos I'm sure we've discussed this topic before. Unlike dogs, cats have the right to wander at will, according to an old witchcraft act from way back that was never repealed,and that's why they've never needed to be licensed. I understand only too well how infuriating it can be for people with adjacent gardens but legally you may not harm them. I don't for one minute think you would hurt a cat, otherwise you wouldn't have begged the question in the first place. Try the orange peel. It is safe and humane! :)
