Cats

[Bellringer]

Anyone any ideas about plants etc to keep cats out of the garden. Our Jack Russell used to do the job but she is no longer with us & the spaniel is not as keen. I have no objection to cats I just prefer the birds, they sing better.

Coleus canina is otherwise called the scardy cat plant. Not sure how good a job it does but it is sold as a plant that cats dont like to be near.

Tiger dung works well if you can get some from a local Zoo!!!

Tried the scaredy cat once but it is not a perenial and didn't seem to work anyway. As for Tiger/Lion pooh. That's like getting hold of rocking horse pooh isn't it?

As you've said the best is no longer with you - Jack Rusells are fantastic at the job - having had three myself.
