I know how you feel, too, Dee; it was so sad when we had to have our little Gaspode put to sleep, and he had the little shaved leg where they'd taken blood or whatever. It just makes them look that much more vulnerable. Ann |

Anyone have suggestions for keeping your cats out of a garden they're unwelcome in? I don't want to have to keep them in, as they've been enjoying going out for more than a year now - since before this person moved in, in fact - and they're generally very safe roaming out back, but I do respect the fact that she's not too happy that they're interfering with her garden. She claims to have tried everything and given up; I have no idea what she actually has tried, as she didn't really seem to want to discuss the subject, seemed politely but annoyedly resigned, so I feel the onus is on me. But other than try and fence little areas in the bushes that they sneak through (and they could still just jump onto and over the fence), I'm at a real loss as to what I might do to resolve the situation. I want to keep both neighbor and cats happy, but have no idea how I might acheive this! Any ideas would be most gratefully received. Ann P.S. She never actually brought it up, but we had to go and ask her when we saw her out back once if the cats were bothering her or interfering with her garden, and got the answer we'd hoped not to hear! All the more reason I wish I could do something about it, because even though she's doesn't really go out of her way to be neighborly to us, she's always been polite and never made the stink that she could have about the cats, so I'd really like to try and show her some consideration in return. Offer to surround the perimeter of her garden with planted onions? (I've heard it's supposed to keep out wabbits.) |

I never heard him described that way but you're absolutely right. lol Actually, years ago when he got his full figure (he was badly malnourished and skinny as a rail when I took him in) he reminded me of a bear -- very muscular. Greebo sounds very special, too. Aww Cheryl *hug* !!

It makes me sad to see the little shaved spot on Shadow's leg, h0p had them in his front and back legs each more than once the first time, You should have see the ruckus caused by a pic I posted in the binary group after his liver aspiration and his tummy was shaved. I took a pic because the vet said to watch out for black spots so I wanted a record of what it looked like. I called the thread "Shaved Pussy" ;o) and has a new one now. It always bothered me that Sunny died with her front legs shaved like that ...just didn't seem right. Well, hell. that all got more maudlin than I'd intended! Shadow's awesome, he reminds me of my Sam Dee Awww... I'm sure Sunny knew you were doing all you could for her and her shaved legs were a tribute to that. Poor girl. She's in a better place now.

At least it would keep our rabbit out, not that he ever actually goes over there (he only roams the yard a little when we're sitting out there, and hasn't yet tried venturing into her garden, not that I'm sure he's found the way yet, or he just might)! |

Greebo sounds very special, too. Yeah, both my boys are sweeties....our scanner's bust, but I'll have to borrow the mother-in-law's soon, and get some pix of them up! My guys are both huge, but I don't really think of them as muscular, because even though they're at their ideal weight now - they were a little overweight before - they still have tummy skin that hangs down and flaps from side-to-side when they walk (Greebo more so than Crowley, cuz he's just a bit bigger anyway), which makes my otherwise gorgeous cats look a bit less than regal, LOL!

I'm sure Sunny knew you were doing all you could for her and her shaved legs were a tribute to that. Poor girl. She's in a better place now. I wonder if all out little ones that we outlive will be playing together. I kind of like the thought of that Dee |

Try puting mothbals around and in the garden. Also helps keep out ants,
may attract some birds. Spray some vinegar around the garden. Use cat repeling spray, may have to try a few brands. Find some flowers your cat don't like. Plant some around the garden. Some flowers even help keep away some nasty bugs. My cat positively *HATE* asterias (that star shaped fruit), it make her puke! Some slices or some juice may do the trick. Sprinkle some hot pepper chips or other strong spices in the area. Most cats don't like spices. Some pepper spray perhap.
