Yes the orange peel would be a good one, Ive got two house cats of my own and they freak out when they smell orange peel. I quite often throw bits at them when they annoy me!!

that's someones pet you are probably talking about.

Tend to agree. Much prefer to use deterrents which do the job without anything or anyone being harmed.

Heard about the 'cats p*ss' plant that cats hate, but haven't been able to name or source it.

Like the orange peel idea too, eat lots of 'em and usually bin the peel ... how should it be used, garden perimeter, loft perimeter etc and does the effect wear off?

I've used cat scarers and asked the forum if they think they worked. Some said yes, some said no. I've used milk bottles and the plant Bruno correctly calls " cats p*ss. " Not sure whether any of them work, I don't at the end of the day, think you can beat a good Jack Russell.

ferrets!! we have two ferrets in hutches at the end of our loft , the smell of them keeps cats away, i'm also told ferret droppings spread round the loft also do the job if you don't want to keep them!

I HATE cats because of what I've seen them do to other birds and other small animals, besides our pigeons, they play with them before killing them. They are however somebody's pet and I would much sooner them be DETERED from the garden, rather than DESTROYED.

I have two cats and they dont get out but have a run that they can sit out in and have found that having a male tom cat keeps any other cats from coming near my garden. So all go out and get yourself a cat LOL. PS the ex made me get the cats, it wasn't my personal choice, but ive been left with em.

these ultrasonic cat deterrents do work, i was sceptical at first, until my brother in law got one, there was a cat came in to his garden every day, and pestered the guinie pigs and budgies, he had it just set up when the cat appeared, i switched the thing on, well the cat couldnt have jumped beachers brook better, and all the guinie pigs scampered like a flash in to their wendy house, so it definately worked then. but i dont know if the cat would get used to it, but hes not bothered with cats now.
