Kieran McDoo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Can anyone give me anything what is effective in keeping cats out your garden? other then the obviours!!! cheers I have found the best way is to get your own cats introduce them to the pigeons when they are young and that should scare them and after that the cats will have a dominance thing with other cats and keep them out but because they were scared at birth by the pigeons they wont hurt them providing this is for pigeons if not then then there are a few cheap cat repellant sound producers. :)
Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 You can keep them out of certain areas by using certain size aggregate, pebbles etc, they don't like walking on them. Failing that there are many who've said that cat deterrants work, not tried them myself as I like watching my dog chase them.
THE FIFER Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 the scarecrow water jet does work, they dont like water

Guest Owen Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Like most of us, I went through a period of cat problems and I tried all sorts of things to stop them. The one thing I learned at that time was, that once a cat decides he wants to kill birds he is very difficult to stop. Sure, they can be put off if they are only passingly interested, but if they every dedicate themselves to getting your pigeons you have a major problem on your hands. I was having a particulary bad time and I had had a bad row with the nieghbour about it. Then my wife casually suggested using an old electric cattle fence I had in the shed from my sheep owning days. Bingo. It worked straight away and completely solved the problem. The cats carried on being cats and didn't look any differant, but they never attempted to come into my garden again. These days I have a mains operated fencer which means that I do not have to remember to check and recharge the battery. And it is still a 100% safe fence. The bonus has been, that a couple of years ago I had a new neighbour who owned three small terrier dogs that were totally out of control. He told me one day that he saw the dogs go through the joint fence and heard them yelp before they came back. Then he said that this had happened a couple of weeks ago and he thought it was funny that they never bothered again. I never ever told him and we remained friends until moved three or so years later. So the answer to your problem is an electric fencer.
Guest numpty01 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 yes and the perana ??wrong spelling is the most affective mains fencer there is god what a wollop
paul10121968 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 as has allready been said,i have a cat of my own who doesn,t bother pigeons(don,t trust her 100% mind)but i have never seen another cat in my garden so the territory thing definately works.

THE FIFER Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 i posted a reply to this why has it been blocked? because it was reffering to the use of a .22 on a cat, what the members are asking for is harmless and legal ways of keeping cats out of their gardens,
cheeseman Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 this was a feral cat not some ones nice pussy , are there rules for some and not others, if so this is my last post ,its legal to protect your own against vermin by what ever means i know because it says so on my fac.you can shoot a dog if its worring sheep but you cant shoot a cat if its killing doos get real
harky Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Just pee round about your loft , it works a treat :)
pigeonforce Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 I have a problem with my neighbours cats they wonder into my garden all the time im fed up of chasing them off , tried water over them still didnt work . a cat had one pigeon last week but i managed to stop it been killed. havent seen cat since??

pigeonforce Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 yes its a coalouse thats not the correct spelling Thanks ill have a look for it, iv been training my birds over the last couple of weeks and they were flying into the loft no problem, since the cat attack they havent been out on a toss. Today i sent them 13 miles and only got 5 back and when they came back they looked scared and took ages to go into the loft, just been out now and the others still not back , quite bad really as i only had 12 birds to start with, could the cat attack be linked to them not coming back, they have done the same toss 3 times before with no problems
