I have trouble with cats in my garden and also sitting on the car and scratching the paintwork. Any ideas how to stop this?

1.get a dog
2. get some lion dung spread all over the garden, but the truth is, that it's neither a good manure nor a very healthy and cool-smelling thing to do ;-)
3. make ur fence higher and higher so that cats do not jump in, and if they do, they dont get a way to go out;-)
4. arrange for somebody to scare off the cats ;-)
5. put orange peels all over the entrance
6. construct nets or some pricky stuff around the hedge

I tried absolutely everything including getting tiger dung for the garden, in the end the only thing that worked was to get 2 cats of my own. They are fiercely territorial and keep the other cats out, plus they don't use our garden for a toilet like the other cats were doing!

A wonderfull new invention is on the market now, the scare spray. It attaches to a hose pipe and lets out a high powered jet of water aimed at the intruding cat.
I wish I had a garden so i could get one, my poor puss is a house cat so we dont have this problem.
Best of luck

I am a cat owner. But I heard orange peel discourages them. Also I saw plants in garden centre that cats don't like, they had a little tag referring to this, but just ask assistant. Also i heard you can fill plastic mineral bottle with water leave in garden, but this could be for dogs, the reflection frightens them.

Put some drops of Olbas Oil on some used tea bags and place them around the garden and your car. Cats abhor the smell of the stuff!

You can get battery or mains powered cat repellers. Sends out a very loud noise at a frequency that cats can hear but is too high for humans to hear. This is annoying and frightening to the cats.

Lion droppings, or evidently if you can find them (probably on the net) statues of squirrels - but they must have eyes that glow / shine when it is dark.
Don't tidy your garden as they don't like that either.
Alternatively a machine gun post is good, or you could try land mines - but this makes gardening difficult plus rather risky

Buy a dog or put large plastic bottles with water in them around the garden, Don't know why but it works

I'm assuming that you don't actually want to hurt the cats in question.
You can use several devices.
1. Motion activated water sprinklers
2. Motion activated ultrasonic devices
3. Scent repellants

buy a lion.
or, if you're near a zoo, get some lion dung and spread it round your garden. the smell will freak the cats out thinking that there's a mucky great lion about and not come in your garden again.
