I was told the other day that to keep cats from using your garden as a
toilet, the best way, which is extremely cheap and efficient, is to tie a
couple CD's together, one above the other and hang them in the garden.

Has anyone tried this please and does it work ..... ?

If it does, I'm off to ASDA to get a few AOL giveaways

I didn't know it was advised for cats, but it certainly doesn't work on
pigeons

I have a rather unpleasant plant (don't quiz me on technical details like
its name) from T&M which seems to repel cats. I rather fancy its a member of
the coleus family

The plant is Coleus canina. Haven't tried it though, because I love my cats
who, I suspect, would *love* to play with a CD mobile!!

A friend of mine has. Apparently it repelled the cats at least three feet
away.

It's supposed to repel dogs, too. But it isn't hardy, so only really works
(if, indeed it does work) in summer.

But, I understand, it grows readily from cuttings (as do most Coleus), and
can be overwintered indoors.
