    I've managed to keep the cats out for 3 weeks with this! I got a few jars of vapo-rub in Aldi - I figured it would be more potent that Vicks and my cat made a funny face when I got him to smell it so it's good stuff ;) ..anyhoos I rubbed a layer of it along the botton of the gates where the cats come in. It's worked for 3 weeks in our place until this morning - i will redose tomorrow.. My reason for doing this was that I wanted to protect my shiney new motorbike from cat's pee!! :v:

    My mother in law fills empty plastic bottles with water and leaves them around her flower beds as she said it keeps cats and dogs away?! I don't know I think it looks like the garden is full of litter! Anyone hear of that or is she as nuts as I think she is?:rolleyes:

    I think the idea with the bottles is that they're half filled with water, the lid is put on tightly and a pin hole or two is made in the plastic. As the water (and air) inside the bottle heat they expand, and small volumes of gas escape through the small pin holes - making a high pitched noise that we can't hear but cats and dogs will avoid.
