[Cooperinliverp00l]

Anyone know a way of getting and keeping cats out of your garden. We keep getting one come in do it's business and then leave.

I already have the following on my possible list
Gun
Bear trap
Outside kennel for our dog

Just ignore them, it is good for the soil...

Apparently you can buy a thingy to stick in your lawn that emits a high pitched sound that humans can't hear but cats really really don't like. Just stick it in your garden and it should scare the cats away. Permie at my old gig swore blind by it, he used to come in every morning moaning about having to clear cat tulip out of his garden until he got this thingy.

Lion tulip apparently they don't like the smell of it so they won't go in your garden.

On the down side, your garden will stink of lion tulip

Outside kennel for our dog

Leave the dog free in the garden, it should sort out the problem unless it's a real wimp. When I was a kid I had a monster black lab/alsation cross, most amiable dog in town except when it came to cats, it mauled a couple of cats I know about, plus I think countless other victims I don't know about. It came home one night with it's nose hanging off and after that it treaded a little more carefully when cat hunting.

And lion tulip is difficult to come by...unless you own a pack of lions of course...

Anti-freeze left in a dish is I hear a good way of getting rid of the pests

No idea, I would guess that dogs and cats have sufficiently different ranges for it to affect just cats and not dogs. Mind you if it makes dogs run as well you are killing two birds with one stone, not dog or cat poo in your garden

cats are so variable. our cats now are very timid - will only take on anything smaller(like squirrels).

my mother had a psycho cat that hated everything. came home evey week with a new injury. was banned from the local vet. once swiped a Rotweilers nose before running off - would not have believed if I had not seen it.

And it died of old age...
