Is there anyone who knows a good tip to keeping cats of the grounds?  SignatureMikoangelo - webmaster of http://harrypotter.lk-data.net >Is there anyone who knows a good tip to keeping cats of the grounds? Large. cat hating, dogs. I have a dozen cats and had to get two large dogs to control the opossums that were coming inside to eat the cats' food. the dogs are confined to the back yard, and the cats now avoid it except for a quick run from the cat flap to an area within the field of the radio fence where the dogs will not go. I no longer get visits from the neighborhood feral cats. T.E.D.

If you let the guinea pigs out, you really have a problem. If you let the dogs in, they won't help the stray cat problem. Dogs can be expensive - no doubt about that. I spent close to $1000 just setting up for them - radio fence, tie outs, dog house, etc. They - with some unwanted help from a dog from across the street - eat several times as much as the cats do. "T.E.D." is my chop - it is both my name and my initials. T.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) I was just wondering if there were some kind of chemical or something like salt or some vegetables or something like that you could lay around the house, and then the cats won't like to go in.

Predator pheromones are available, and they are supposed to dislike one of the citrus scents - lemon I think. Something like that might be usable in an arid climate. About 35 years ago, I bought some green plastic things that were to be tied to the shrubs to keep cats from using the flower beds as litter pans - they continuously released an odor - lemon, I think. There was also a dog version. They didn't work all that well and I haven't seen them since. About 20 years ago, I bought a product in a spray can called "Indoor No" that was supposed to keep cats off the furniture - there was also an outdoor version. It didn't work all that well. I haven't seen it since either. T.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) > Is there anyone who knows a good tip to keeping cats of the grounds? I don't know the layout of your property. However, this motion-activated sprinkler might help if there is some way to set it up around the perimeter where intruders would activate it but where your guinea pigs would not.http://www.biconet.com/critter/sprinkler.html MaryL >> Is there anyone who knows a good tip to keeping cats of the >> grounds?
