Scrappychimow · 2010-08-28 20:18:04

Hi, Someones cat is lurking under my car in the back yard some mornings when I get up, I don't want it there as the birds come to eat in the garden. Any ideas of how to get him to stop lurking under the car? Have tried putting water bottles,CD's etc in garden..

I would throw the bin on top of it if I could.

A guy I worked with had a rockery in his garden with sand and gravel which the neighbourhood cats thought was ideal for a huge litter tray. A friend told him that cats have an instinctive fear of snakes, despite never having seen them, and to buy several rubber snakes from a toyshop, and drape them around the rockery. When he did, he was cat free for several weeks.

All anecdotal, and I can't vouch for it 100%, but apparantly it's true. Might be worth a try.
