 ;D I've seen that before, but strangely enough never seen one for sale ;D ;D

Seriously though, I bought one of those electronic cat scarers off ebay, it works a treat and haven't had cat's use my garden as their toilet for ages, apart from when the batteries went flat. :)

There is a  "Piss-Off-Plant"  - a plectranthus.   But I have no idea if it works! 

Please do let me know it you try it.

we have planted some colus cannina in our frint garden which seems to be working, we also have water pistols behind the door and squirt any that come near, which is highly entertaining if nothing else!  ;D ;D

I used to use pepper, but I reckon it might be cheaper to buy the plants!! ;)

I am told mosquitoes don't like it either!! :)

Alternatively sneak into your neighbours gardens and plant nepetia everywhere except your own  ;D ;)

you can buy ground up lion poo which you sprinkle round the garden which then the cats think that a big cat (lion) lives there and they dont come in
or a air rifle

On our site we have pigeons, cats, foxes - we use mesh/net barriers and otherwise accept it!  Don't believe there  is a humane  longterm solution  but PLEASE NO AIR GUNS >:(

Hi flowerlady,
                      The "Piss-Off-Plant" does not appear to be available yet in this country. :(

It is the result of American genetic manipulation to enhance to the odour of the plant, so that all rights to this plant belong to the Company by registered patent.

The plant is sold at 6$ per plant, it is reputed to deter dogs, cats, rabbits, Foxes and many others.

The registered name is Plectranthus "Sumcol 01"

Hi return of the mac,
                                 The plant that I refereed to is protected by US patent USPP#13,843 it is therefore not the plant you know as the pee off plant. ???

The plant coleus canina may have similar properties but is not the plant in question. ;)

Humbly suggest you follow the link at the end of my post and search under "Piss off Plant" :)

Hi Adam04,
                  I am not a cat person, but having said that I think you should seriously consider asking Dan to remove that post as some members will find it offensive.
