Cat deterrents.

When I was younger I used to think cats hated the smell of beer. This was due to the fact that when I went round to my grandad's there used to be the occasional beer bottle on his lawn. When I asked my mum and dad why grandad kept beer bottles on his lawn they said he was keeping cats out of the garden. For years I thought the bottles were strategically placed and it was some kind of old mystic gardner's knowledge that cats were afraid of beer. It wasn't till I was alot older that I realised he was just getting pissed and throwing his empties at cats. Ah the innocence of childhood.
 
My gran used to put Orange peel in the garden, she swore it kept the cats away..

Last time i was in Cyprus, I couldn't believe the amount of cats everywhere. When I asked someone why that was, he told me they help keep the snakes away.

I'd love a snake or two in my garden now to be honest. I feel like that bloke/monster at the end of that Stephen King film where all the cats are outside waiting. Sleepwalkers.

In a small village in Cyprus, When i was a kid a snake went across the road right in front of me, about 10 foot long.. Fucking shit myself big time. I don't like cats, but would prefer a garden full of cats than snakes....

Get a lion.

You're not far off. There is a product called "Silent Roar" which is effectively lion droppings. The theory is that the cat smells the stuff and thinks, "Jesus, there's a big motherfucker around here, I'd best do one" never to be seen again.

Crushed up paracetamol in said dish of said milk. Fucks the liver up. Harder for the Vet to diagnose. No strays round our way.

Pussy poops? Urghhh!

I had heard of lion dung, but if it's from a big cat does it come with a big smell? At least one can put it where it IS wanted. Keep it out of the rain I suppose.

On the theme of scaring the cat off, I don't know whether it has been suggested yet, but I had also heard that a length of garden hose painted to look like a snake can be effective. Perhaps shake your snake at the cat first to wake up any instinctive fear of the thing.

So let me get this straight, you're asking him to shake his snake in front of next doors pussy?
