keeping cats out of the garden

Dogs are cats are both great pets. But neither of them are a great pet if they are on other peoples property. Nobody has a right to let their animal roam freely through the neighborhood, or even into the next door neighbors yard. I have no sympathy for irresponsible pet owners. How would you feel if someone else's cat kept shitting, pissing and digging in your garden? Simple respect, common courtesy, etiquette...whatever you wanna call it, we need more of it.

If you own a pet, keep it on your damn property or don't bitch when it comes home with pellets lodged in it's head (I would never do that....anymore).

Anyway, dogs make a great cat repellant. Mine do anyways...

I have 4 neighbours. All four have dogs and sometimes they wonder over to my property. I don't care when they do (unless they shit). A couple have cats that wonder over like my cats do over to theres.
No big deal really.

Really cheap. A couple of placers for sale on the West coast at the moment for under 40k. Close to world heritage listed growing areas...I mean national parks..

You know what? I love kitties. I do... BUT
As a natural born Californian and as much as I love kitties I have no place for them within my garden. That said, here is a phucked-up story that ya'all just might enjoy.

I did something horrible. I met a woman on the internet and moved to Texas. The cool part is that all those downright God-awfully beautiful Texans are some fine ladies. The bad part is they have a back side. But that's not what I'm getting at. That's another story within itself. I've grown vegetables in California, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Washington State. But Texas found me in a very unique position...

This little old lady on the block behind us went into a retirement home. Okay. Three weeks later her son comes in and well, we have a very unique situation here. See, this little old lady, unbeknownst to the outside world had 27 cats locked-up inside of her house. Now, any good humanitarian would've called-in Animal Services and there would've been an implemented protocol. Wull we weren't so lucky. her son decided to open up all the windows and doors and set 27 malnourished felines astray within a small podunk Texas town.

Now, I'd made several calls to law enforcement but nothing really came of it. My "organic" backyard garden was being decimated by felines and there was no proxy for alleviating the problem. So I called in the County Sheriff and when he came down he had a different message, "IF they are a public nuisance, IF they are causing damage to your vehicles and your home, your garden etc... SHOOT them.

Okay. Now I don't necessarily condone the killing of any domestic animals but these cock suckerz were spraying our cars, pooping in my truck bed, my back laundry room reeked of amonia... so I took action.

I didn't like it but... I alleviated the situation over the course or two weeks with a semi-auto .25 Cal pre-charged pneumatic air rifle from my bathroom window using an infrared night vision scope. My girlfriends sons turned out being a better shot than I was.

It just is what it is.
I don' like killing animals but I could see myself sitting at yer bathroom window stoned shooting cats

A small dog will keep them cats away. You can also use a fence and line it with greenhouse plastic 6 ft high the cat will need a really good reason to even try jumping that slippery wall.

i don't know how long it lasts, but...this crazy chick bought some snake repellent crystals, and put them out along the driveway. i have no idea if they work on snakes, but i watched dogs and cats both smell the shit and run away....i asked her where she got it, she said they sell it at walmart, called liquid fence
