RE: [OT] Electronic Pet Containment

["Ward, David" <DAvid.Ward@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ahhh,  yes I forgot about a Dog - Classic Cat deterrent

Sadly we don't have the lesiue time to devote to a dog,
hence my choice of a big Cat (and a smaller one for backup)

I'm 99.9% sure that don't Sh*t in other gardens since they are in most
of the time and I have been assigned permanent litter tray duty :-S

Interestingly, even though they are only out for a couple of hours a week
they still manage to keep other cats away from our Garden.
OTOH the fact that we don't have any 'diggable' earth in our garden (It's
all Decking and Slate chipings) may also help

Currently trying to work out a way of justifying/sneaking one of these into
the house

I had this problem a while back. I tried various tiger/lion shit/piss
products, they're completely fecking useless. I tried various other
recommendations, such as orange peel, empty coke bottles half full of
water, ultrasonic scarers, coloured bits of paper etc etc. All
bollocks. Sadly wasn't able to get get hold of an agricultural bird
scarer, mongoose or european eagle owl, so sadly wasn't able to try
those.

Eventually solved the problem by the application of a fecking big dog ;)
