Hello
Several of neighbours has cats there is about 12 cats in the area and has been for a few years and they have never bothered me i have a friendly grey cat that visits me while i am in the garden and my dogs don't seem bothered by this cat i always give a fuss and a stoke and sometimes a piece of ham, But lately i have had cat hell about 4 evenings ago there was a huge cat fight in my garden i when out next morning and all my newly planted border was all over the place and in the border was a lot of cat fur & blood and and 2 tips of ears .... :-X yuk cleared that lot up and lost a lot of my plants due to this so today i was resting as my shoulder is playing up Mr B my dog when out in the garden and came back and was telling me something was wrong the garden i when out there and to my horror 2 cats where in the border again digging away trying to bury 2 birds 1 was a pigeon :) and the other was a baby robin :'( so i am totally p***ed off sorry for rant i love cat's but when they do stuff like this it annoys me. So basically what can i do to stop it and why all of a sudden they are doing this?? i know it wasn't the little grey cat as it's too shy.
Cheers

ps.
Sorry for rant ::)
Have they made a territorial claim over the grey one's patch? I find a well aimed hose gives my little (fairly gentle & useless at killing) cat the backup she needs against the local thugs...
sounds pretty upsetting for you . sounds like these two cats are vying for territory. i'm no expert in thesethings but i thinkits unusual for cats to bury birds isnt it? i think the water treatment is a good one and i am sure one way or another it will sort itself out . good luck
I throw a tumbler of water at my own cats if they DARE to dig my veg beds. They have got the general idea now I think.
Our main problem is Toms.....they pee up the back and front doors of our house. I scrub them every day with disinfectant and have sprinkled, liberally, cayenne pepper as well. But it still happens >:(
Blessed nuisance they are >:( >:( >:(
