CATS

[Jacksparrow]

I've had my first deposit since the lion poo went down. I'm thinking it loses potency when its been down a few days.

After 2 weeks it seems that when it is freshly put down it is fairly effective but after about 10 days or so the cats lose respect for it.

Back to the drawing board. There is a contraption out the sprays cats with water. Has a motion sensor but has to have a hosepipe. Not good if there is a hosepipe ban i suppose.

A couple of weeks ago I was idling in a local cafe waiting for Mrs JS and read an article on my phone claiming there was a type of plant that cats hated because of it smell. It claimed that they hated brushing against it because when the cleaned themselves it left a bad taste in their mouths. So! nothing ventured nothing gained I bought half a dozen of them and planted them around the garden near places the cats like to walk and leave their deposits.
So far, so good As far as I can see I have had no fouling since the planting.
The plant is called a "Curry Plant" which is to be found in the herb section of nurseries. Not to be confused with Curry leaves which is a different plant.
I have seen one cat since I planted them but it was just passing through and one of the plants has lost all it's leaves to a garden pest of some kind
