Title: Who knows about catproofing gardens?
Post by: wharfevalley catsprotection on April 21, 2008, 19:03:38 PM

Just taken a message from a lady who wants to find out about catproofing her garden and wants some info. on it and where to go, but I have no experience at all and don't really know what to suggest.

Any ideas?!

 :thanks:

The following link may be useful.  The resident "expert" on here is of course Roz from Secure-a-cats  (her system has been used by many people on here and comes highly recommended - details included in the link).

Cheers hun!

I don't want to just not call her back, but neither do I want to ring with no information!

I think that email for Roz is out of date on that link, have PM'd you the one she has now.  I'm sure it's fine to post on the open forum as it's the Secur a cat email but I wouldn't want to do that without Roz's approval so have PM'd it to you.

I started putting mine up today, haven't got very far though  :evillaugh:

Thanks!  :sneaky:

I don't have a garden for Katie as she pootles around the neighbours, but if I ever did have a house with one, i'd definately get this done - it looks amazing and would keep me from worrying! Having said that, she only goes out for 10 minutes a day (if that!)

Seven hours (14 man/woman hours as there's two of us) and two trips to B&Q later and the brackets are up - that's it  :evillaugh:

Nope  :tired: Just hit every snag going! What we have achieved so far should have taken half an hour tops  :tired:

I can snigger at that, but I won't. I remember when my sister and I decided we could lay carpet in my back bedroom. What took the man (after we balls it up) 45 mins to do: i.e he removed old carpet, laid new carpet, ensured all was square and exact, packed up van etc... took us 5 hours and we did such a bad job I was so glad I had bought an offcut.
