if ya got the money you can use a PIR water gun or a bottle of water stood up but i dont know if that works i use a brick

dogs dont always work a few weeks ago a cat came to are loft so he let the grey hound lose and it ran in the loft and kill two pigeons while the cat run  off

Another cat, they are territorial, or

 

ultrasonic deterrant - watch the range /area covered,

 

and as a last resort (still to try it) an electric fence.

Well I have just been told "Mothballs" are something cats cant stand so will be trying them out as the 4 cats my neighbour has are a pain in the grass, S**T everywhere, let alone the terror the birds suffer from the pesky things!

Alan my greyhound use to, it sorted every cat since its been gone and i have had to rely on my staffy they have come back.

 

We have a cat that seems like a good un and has marked our garden as part of its territory however failing that we have a fantastic box trap for them

Back in Merthyr in 1971 as a 19 year old club sec who knew nothing about pigeons (and before anyone jumps in, still doesn't!) I went to George Dunne in Cefn to plot his loft, I was flabergasted  to see a cat sleeping in the loft with his pigeons, with the sliding doors open and the birds calmly on the perch or walkig around it. George told me he never had any cat trouble. The only draw back I can see to this is that the birds may tink all cats are ok?   Or are they clever enough to know that the rest are dangerous!!??

cats arent supposed to like pepper or orange or jeyes fluid, so you could try putting some jeyes fluid around your garden, or have a water spray with pepper and orange in it (just water doesn't work!)

the reason that water doesnt work (we have an especially evil cat) - well the cat that comes into our garden to pick on our own cat hasn't got the picture yet, you would think it would learn that come into my garden means get sprayed with water, not very nice - well at least that's what we're taught in psychology with conditional learning etc (well it worked with dogs)!!

These all work but nothing is foolproof

PIR water jets, pain in the but if you forget about them

Electronic cat deterrents, some cats are tone deaf

Dogs, unless the are out 24/7 the cat knows when they are out

Cat in the loft, not all cats are territorial and or alpha cats

Rubber snakes, you have to mind and shift them

Bell on the collar, ask all you neighbours to fit a bell on the collar to alert pigeons

Air rifle, cats make far too much noise when you hit one and you may be reported

Cat traps, I have found them the best, caught the cat and relocated it as I don't have the heart to kill it them :-/

Unfortunately ive been too late the B*****d took a young cheq and killed it, the kids found it  behind next doors shed, half eaten. It was a gift from Stuart Blut Tooner. Will have to stay with them at all times now

i use a jug of water and mix it with washing up liquid when the cat cleans itself it gets well poorly and sick i never seen ne of the cats around my dads house nemore plus another way capture the cat and drive it to the moors sumwhere lol

[DJ]

ive got my own cat which was here b4 the pigeons arrived and he doesnt show any interest in them apart from the occasional glance  he even walks past them while they are pecking around in my garden but i wouldnt go as far as to leave him unattended with them :-/   the good thing is that he chases all cats away leaving my pigeons in peace

ive heard that male cats can be quite dominant in keeping others away but to me surely the females would br attracted
