Title: Keeping Neighbourhood Cats out of the garden....
Post by: Alcatraz on June 18, 2013, 13:47:09 PM: Not sure if anyone can help but my sister has a few neighbourhood cats who come into her garden, scare her own cat and fight. She wanted to know if there was a good way to keep them out of the garden whilst still allowing her own cat to go out?

Her cat is a female who has been spayed but still gets a lot of unwanted attention. The two cats in question she believes are boys.

Cats are free ranging under the law so your only option would be to cat proof and stop your cat from going in others gardens.

Sorry meant ther other person :shify:

I suspected that might be the case and she's not keen on cat proofing the garden. Oh well...hopefully it might calm down soon.

Maybe I should take my two bruisers down there to stand guard
