Guest cosmic dave Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 The loft is up and I am doing the finishing touches outside today, the next question is about cats, I have a lot live round me and I need to start discoursing them from coming into the yard. Please no get a dog posts as that one is out as the kids are frightened of them. Is the timber criss cross stuff on the front of lofts there to stop cats from getting to the birds ?

Welcome to the forum anyway :-) Yes you are right, I don't keep pigeons. I am a specialist Electric fencing supplier and the reason I began searching about pigeons was because I've recently had 7 commissions to keep cats and foxes away from pigeons.

lordcornwallis Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 get yourself the biggest tom cat you can get ,give him the message the pigeons are not for catching , he will claim the back yard as his sovereign territory and keep all other cats away honest this works !

MikeMason Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'm against trapping cats, as it could be some little kids pet. I got a male cat that is not neutered. Brought a pigeon up in front of him when he was a kitten. No cats come into the garden. I've always had dogs, but the cats would still walk across the loft roof. I haven't seen a cat do that in 2 years. He's always coming back with scratches and cuts etc. He's cost quite a bit, as I've had to take him to the vet half a dozen times, with infections and things. But it's worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
