Thread Name: BS: Keeping Cats Out of My Garden
Subject: RE: BS: Keeping Cats Out of My Garden
Sore point with me. I'm dead against shooting cats, which I'd have thought was illegal anyway. But I put seed out for the birds, which encourages cats, who think the birds represent a free meal.
That was ok in the days when I had an arthritic labrador/greyhound. He was so slow he couldn't have caught a dose of kennel cough. But his presence did at least dissuade the moggies. The trouble is, now I've got me a greased lightning greyhound, I have to lead him by his collar into the garden and stand there hanging onto him while the cat hightails it out of garden.
