Flowerbeds and Cats,

[Dee]

Last year was a hard few months of remodeling our new to us home so not much yard work other than mowing.
Linda wanted flower beds and so a month ago I put the money and work in,and although it's early here their looking good.
UNTIL THIS MORNIN!

Big pile of cat crap, and a half hearted attempt to cover it up.

Got the cat trap, and the little Browning Buckmark out.

...And if you have grandchildren and there are cats around..if you plan to build them a sand box, you better fit it with a cover !

Just get rid of the flowerbeds. That will eliminate the cats and also get rid of a lot of work.

Same problem here. We use a spray bottle with orange oil and vinegar, and water, and spray the perimeter occasionally.(not the plants) Keeps them moving on to a different location.

I've got a relocation program that 100% effective, and effort is minimal.

  Maybe you need another Jack Russell...

I've got a Blue Heeler that hates cats, and digs constantly. I don't need another one. He has his own yard, and he'll be my last dog.
My little Browning doesn't dig, bark, or dump in the yard.

I’ve gone to smaller dogs. Good watchdogs and small critter getters. And they see a rattlesnake before the big ones do. They get that certain bark so you know what it is.  That’s helped me a lot.
