Evening peeps

Why oh why is that the groung that I dug over at the end of last year has suddenly become irrisistable to the next door neighbours cat since I planted me shallots.

Arrrrrgh. Have had to replant twice now. Also felt a bit foolish running out with a towel yelling no no no. (Although could legitimatly blame 2 year old for this). As it I am sure related to some demolishion monster.

Just sit in your garden with a modern high powered water pistol across your lap. A few good shots and they will soon get the message. Cheers, Tony.

Save your fresh orange peel to spread about, that turns them off too.

Try some Lion or tiger poo from the local circus or zoo...really works to start with .
Feed them cats with boiled starfish..at first it tastes lovely , but after a while it starts to react and the cat eventually gets stomach ache and never returns again !!

Ta V much peeps.

Have been scattering orange peel like crazy just wating for the cat.

I'm wondering where I can get boiled starfish so far inland...I don't think Tesburyrose do them.

Any decent fishmonger or supermarket

...and I wonder how Fairweather is re zoos and circuses - especially since circuses haven't had any animals, let alone lions and tigers for years now

A good Jack Russel works wonders.

Yip not too many zoo animals here (unless you count the locals) .

Sorry Shallot Man. There was a Jack russel around here, but a few years ago the then next door cat scared it away (well the cat was 1 stone in weight) (also saw same cat kill 3 wesels )

Hope everyone is having a good day .

P.s cat has not used the plot yet. but don't blame it it is blowing a force 6 here today!!

Well..just a suggestion and one that works..some of us have no access to a jack russell either !!!

Meanwhile, "our" cats, Commitee Kittee and Craig, may dig the odd hole or two...but Kittee is an ace mouser and Norwegian Forest Cat Craig knows a thing or two about dealing with rabbits.....

...and Tigers live just up the road from here...so they are about..
......... I mean touring about in their lorry..
