Nothing worse than a neighbours cat killing birds & $h1tting in your garden.

I don't understand why people think it is acceptable for their cats to use their neighbour's gardens as a toilet and take-away.

Reminds me.....I need to replace the perished rubbers on my catapult:mad:.

I've a selection of sticks you're welcome to borrow until your catapult is fixed? :D

Hilarious thread, reads like a sketch from the vicar of Dibley, meanwhile, the cat is asleep on someone's bonnet, (with 1 eye open of course)

Funnily enough, I like cats. I don't like them killing birds and $h1tting in my garden. We have several bird feeders and I like attracting birds to the garden.

I don't like birds shitting on my car after eating the berries from my tree. That's the reason I bought a BB gun.

When I lived in OZ we had a murder of crows that lived in a massive gum on our property. They started squawking as soon as the sky started getting lighter - about 3/4am where we lived. It was awful. I started getting up at first squawk and shot a ball bearing (or 2) up into the branches. After about 4 months they actually got to know me and as soon as I stepped out the house they all buggered off. it took about 6 months but they all moved away (without any deaths) and when they spotted me, even several houses away, they'd p1$$ off. Clever 3ugger$.

Now you're talking!! I used to have a .22 rifle and we could purchase so called "varmit" rounds. They were like a tiny shotgun shell. Great for rats, mice and pesky birds.

Maybe you need a cat.:).

My mother used to breed Persian and siamese cats. Never liked the little gits.

That’s what my neighbours have, I can hear them and I don’t fit in that demographic...:(
I wouldn't use the glum emoji if I were you! You must have better than average hearing. My dearly beloved is convinced that I am going deaf...

My wife kept telling me that I'm getting deaf. I went and had a hearing test & nothing wrong with my ears. Now she gets annoyed if I don't reply to her. I should have just let her think I was deaf ......:);)

Just tell her the truth... It's selective deafness. I'll phone ahead for the ambulance.

My mother-in-law had high-frequency cat scarers in her front garden. The pitch was apparently inaudible to anyone over 21 years old

A neighbour had one to keep cats away. I could hear it and im far from 21yrs old.
Had a word with her but she refused to turn it off.
Did a bit of research and even spoke to the rspca. They said if they actually worked it would be cruelty to animals so would be acted on !
Luckily the neighbours son "knobbled it" so his mum was blissfully unaware it was no longer making any sound.
Cats also dislike citrus. They don't like walking over netting or around tin foil so all possibilities to keep them out of your veg patch.
