KNow where they jump the fence or come and go.

Put those adhesive rodent pads in those areas. They are not poisonous they just stick to their paws.

As long as birds don't get ensnarled on the pads, you will be happy to notice that the cat is gone (along with a pad or two) and is probably more than happy to avoid a repeat performance in and around your garden. In this way they are smarter than dogs.


btw I have two plants that look identical to tomato plants but are already 5 feet high and growing at a remarkable rate.

Could they be some sort of look alike?
