neighborhood cat chasing birds
We have several indoor cats, and enjoy feeding birds in our yard.
Recently a cat from the neighborhood shows up every AM and has killed several of the birds. Is there a safe, non chemical way to discourage cat from entering our yard? |

Is there a safe, non chemical way to discourage cat from entering our yard? A motion detector sprinkler might work, as cybercat said. Here are two: Also Scarecrow: http://www.biconet.com/critter/sprinkler.html Havahart Spray Away: http://tinyurl.com/nxrjg Also, do you have a fence around your yard? If so, it can be "cat-proofed" by adding guards at the top. One person posted pictures of coiled aluminum (fairly wide) mounted to the top of the fence. He used his to keep his cats in, so your would have to be mounted on the outside of the fence to keep cats out. Some people use wire "mesh" mounted to the top of the fence and slanted -- slanted in to keep your cats in or slanted out to keep other cats out. I would try the motion detector first -- cheaper, easier, and simpler.
