Keeping Cats Out of Our Yard
The short version: is there a way to keep our neighbors cats out of our
yard and away from our bird feeders? The long version: We have always kept our cats indoors, but our next door neighbor doesn't share that philosophy. We have a number of bird and critter feeders in our front yard which her two cats have started staking out. So far they've killed 3 or 4 bird and at least one chipmunk. We've talked to her about it a couple of times and she's been very nice and apologized, but the cats are still being allowed to roam free outside. So far we've tried: - Three different "cat repellent" chemicals that we've spread on the boundary between our yards. - One of the ultrasonic repellers, which seems to have absolutely no effect. The automatic water sprayers with a motion detector are not an option for us because of our climate, and from what I've read, cats figure them out pretty quickly. I love cats, and I realize that they're just doing what cats do, but they have become a real problem. Any suggestions? TIA. Ken |
