I tried 5kV from a Megger BM11 to some fuse wire strung between 2 old
cable rods. The idea was that once the cats had been trained up a bit
just the fuse wire without any voltage would be enough to keep them away.
Though it is amusing to watch what happens when they sniff at a wire with
5kV on it, it turns out that cats are too ****ing stupid to learn from
the experience.

Doesnt work with cats and isnt legal for houses anyway.

Well some is OK it is normally fast pulsed or indeed RF based but costly. as
has been noted though, it very seldom works for cats. they tend to learn how
to bypass this sort of device and you cannot electrify the whole side of
your property.
A few weeks with a water pistol can work wonders though.

I caught one of the cats in my garden and kept squirting it with a
high-powered water pistol. It ended up cowering in the garden,
shaking. It didn't come back for a couple of weeks but now it seems
to have forgotten about it since its unwanted visits have started
again - although it does run away when it sees me.

I can also report that ultrasonic don't work for protecting specific
areas.Back in my youth when I could see, I put one of these in the middle of
my Mothers garden and the next day two cats were there playing football
with it. They could obviously hear it and thought it was something alive.
So much for technology.


Lion poo is quite good used to bean able to get it round here but since
Chessington became a 'resort' its far too posh to have a stall flogging bags
of big cat poo to the public.

Anyone watching the cats react to it.

And if they dont, its useless for keeping them out.

There no such thing as a cat proof fence for a garden.
The only real option you have is to trap them and keep them in the trap
for a couple of days without food or water - preferably in the rain.
After that experience they will not venture in your garden again.

With a bit of luck the cat owner will post about a missing cat so that
you can return all the **** back to them.

Yes they always go to the loo in other gardens. They also have territories
as well so a more capable cat may well cause stress to others.
Also of course unless you are very very lucky, much of what you attribute
to cats is usually urban foxes. they dig under fences and crap and ****
everywhere and smell worse than cats.

I've had complete success with a PIR triggered ultrasonic scarer. I
modified it to run from a 6v dc wallwart instead of the 4 aa cells that
it was designed to use and all sealed up with neutral cure silicone sealant.
It is located at one corner of a roughly 7m square grassed area with
flower beds on 3 sides and no sign to any cats deposits since I
installed it a couple of years back.
The garden is completely open on one side and used to be a regular short
cut for local felines, ****ting as they went but no more.

Even if you had to run several for a larger area, it would be much
cheaper than fencing.

Mixed with cat food it acts as a slow acting laxative and hopefully the
owner gets the runny load when cat has to go at short notice.

Antifreeze. And the next time you use it, the neighbours will know
it was you now that Adam has told them about what you get up to.

There was a cat that used to **** in my porch, I put down some cat
repellent pellets from B&Q - it used them as cat litter.

I borrowed a terrier off a friend.

Presumably that cat is deaf or has a particularly warped sense of
humour and wears ear protectors when it drops the turds there.

Either way, you need a PIR triggered electric fence there.

Its the overhang that does the job. The cat has to jump from the
vertical backwards and outwards and then the roller will spin in a
direction to drop the cat downwards. If the rollers were stacked above
each other the cat could bypass the lower one and then be catapulted
outwards on the top roller.

Those fences are primarily designed to keep your own cat in your own
garden and not necessarily to keep other cat out.

Its more to provide a wide enough rotating area at the top of the fence.

If it was just one roller, some cats could leap right over it.

If the rollers were stacked above each other the cat could bypass the
lower one

The lower one would in fact have no purpose at all.

and then be catapulted outwards on the top roller.

Those fences are primarily designed to keep your own cat in your own
garden and not necessarily to keep other cat out.

They prevent any cat from successfully landing on the top of the fence.

Its far from clear how long they continue to rotate well enough to stop a
cat tho.

Doesnt stop ours. One of my neighbour's cats regularly wanders along

Yep, doesnt stop any cat around here.

Only full cages. Some do that to keep their own
cats in. They'd obviously work to keep the cats
out too, but look utterly obscene IMO.

The problem is if you don't allow any way to dig under it, then you won't
get any hedgehogs and your garden will be eaten by slugs.

The big problem with most cats is that they just love freshly tilled soil
and usually have a favoured spot.
I think rather than be worried about where thy go to the loo though I'd be
more worried about eye fate of the bird population if there are so many of
them. In my view all cats should be fitted with bells.

Yeah, a few of the neighbour's cats have bells, but they only
ring when the cat is running, not when its creeping up on a bird.
