Might be considered too drastic to kill it, but a trip to the moors is not beyond the realms of possibility!

Try large plastic bottles filled with water - the cat sees an enlarged image of itself and is frightened away

I've never tried it, but I've seen it used a lot in Spain.

I have had some of these pellets delivered today - from ebay and named 'Silent roar'.

My son sprinkled half the pack on the grass outside my ground floor balcony. I have been bothered by three cats sneaking and wandering right through the flat to the bedroom at the back.
A few minutes ago one of them has just ignored them and had to be shooed of the balcony.

Does it need a light shower to release the lion smell which is supposed to deter them?

Max'll sort your cats out

MargaretR · 25-07-2013, 21:58

I like cats - had two in the past - just wont tolerate visiting strangers who might well bring in fleas

I have heard that putting plastic snakes in you garden will keep cats away

Maybe they lived there previously.

Later last night, another one of the three was heading in my direction then made a hasty diversion when within 3 feet of the pellets.

Maybe the cat that didn't has a bad cold

Oh dear, another one with a bad cold, or not afraid of lions.
I can see I will have to buy a water pistol.

I have found a hosepipe works quite well

Please stop it I have tears rolling down my face. You have only been in your perfect flat 5 minutes and have found something to complain about already

Not complaining - living here is delightful.
Just solving a very minor problem

Not only that but her neighbours, oh, dear can you imagine their conversations?
That new tenant a little bit strange I think, she must have retired from the circus because, when I walked past her balcony I got the distinct aroma of lion crap, think she must spread it around to remind her of when she worked in the big top!

I thought that was par for the course, little old ladies home alone except for a house full of cats? As to strangers bringing in fleas, I thought you said it was a decent area? The neighbours aren't that bad are they?
