Being a Considerate Cat Owner
Some people have used moth-ball flakes around the forbidden area, but if it
were me, I would check first with my vet. Sylvia "bewtifulfreak" wrote in message ... Anyone have suggestions for keeping your cats out of a garden they're unwelcome in? I don't want to have to keep them in, as they've been enjoying going out for more than a year now - since before this person moved in, in fact - and they're generally very safe roaming out back, but I do respect the fact that she's not too happy that they're interfering with her garden. She claims to have tried everything and given up; I have no idea what she actually has tried, as she didn't really seem to want to discuss the subject, seemed politely but annoyedly resigned, so I feel the onus is on me. But other than try and fence little areas in the bushes that they sneak through (and they could still just jump onto and over the fence), I'm at a real loss as to what I might do to resolve the situation. I want to keep both neighbor and cats happy, but have no idea how I might acheive this! Any ideas would be most gratefully received. Ann P.S. She never actually brought it up, but we had to go and ask her when we saw her out back once if the cats were bothering her or interfering with her garden, and got the answer we'd hoped not to hear! All the more reason I wish I could do something about it, because even though she's doesn't really go out of her way to be neighborly to us, she's always been polite and never made the stink that she could have about the cats, so I'd really like to try and show her some consideration in return. |
