Apart from shooting the little ******* is there anything I can do?

Basically they have taken to using the tops of the fence panels (what’s left of it and is being replaced soon anyways) the garage roof, side gate and even the mini as a scratching post.

The mini I’m probably going to have to live with unless I catch any doing it in person, then they might be minus a few paws.

But is there something I could maybe put along the tops of the fences, gate and on the roof? Obviously something that won’t hurt them, but equally something they won’t like and should then stop doing it.

Tell your neighbor.... And say if it continues you will charge them for damages. They will deney its there cat. So paint the fence in that anti climb paint and then the evidence that it is them will be left on there paws....

Tried that to start off with and it pretty much fell on deaf ears

might work on the fences?
Should make it pretty uncomfortable for them anyway.


Air gun with PLASTIC pellets should deter them and is legal since it wont actually harm them.

Motion activated sprinkers....

cats HATE citrus!

put orange peel, lemon zest, i think bannanna skin works too, stuff like that in and around the fence post and mini! duno about the garage roof, as you dont want rotting food in places you cant get to to clear up really!

Well I think they mostly use the fence as a means of climbing up and on to the garage roof, so if they can’t get up there in the first place I might not need to.

anti climb paint does work, but only use it if the cats are being a pest.

thing is, it will ******* up the owners house.... which aint really good, but if it calls for drastic measures, it might get the point accross.

There are devices that are sold that cats can hear but not humans. All you do is put them in your garden and the cats hate the sound so leave. Think I saw some with the gardening stuff at wilkos.

I'm my experience the lion poo pellets and spiked strips don't work. Non drying anti vandal paint or bitumen normally does the trick though.

[J960mayfair]

as said above the is a few devices on the market that will put a really high pitch noise the humans cant hear but drives cats bonkers they hate it! so chuck a couple of them in your front and back garden will soon sort them out

[Bungle]

get your own cat

you won't get your neighbours cat in your garden if you have your own

Get a cover for the mini. Put carpet gripper rods along the top of the fence too.

If that doesn't work I find using a spade works..........
