Large. cat hating, dogs.

I have a dozen cats and had to get two large dogs to control the
opossums that were coming inside to eat the cats' food. the dogs are
confined to the back yard, and the cats now avoid it except for a
quick run from the cat flap to an area within the field of the radio
fence where the dogs will not go. I no longer get visits from the
neighborhood feral cats.

Is there another way, that won't threaten my Guinea Pigs, and that i
don't have to use a lot of money and time on?

And what does T.E.D. mean?

If you let the guinea pigs out, you really have a problem. If you let
the dogs in, they won't help the stray cat problem.

Dogs can be expensive - no doubt about that. I spent close to $1000
just setting up for them - radio fence, tie outs, dog house, etc.
They - with some unwanted help from a dog from across the street - eat
several times as much as the cats do.

"T.E.D." is my chop - it is both my name and my initials.

I was just wondering if there were some kind of chemical or
something like salt or some vegetables or something like that you
could lay around the house, and then the cats won't like to go in.

I don't know the layout of your property. However, this motion-activated
sprinkler might help if there is some way to set it up around the perimeter
where intruders would activate it but where your guinea pigs would
not.http://www.biconet.com/critter/sprinkler.html
