no real problem with dogs but cats are a plague that should be wiped off the earth.
as i have problems with knees and back i garden with raised beds to remove the need to kneel or bend too much. the neighbourhood cat population seem to think they are public lavatories and local fight den as ive been woken several times by the most unholy racket as two or more of them decide to have an argument over who gets to crap amonst my roses or dig up my bulbs.
its been an issue at my last 3 houses and ive yet to find a solution short of getting a shotgun.
claymores would be preferable (not the swordy ones) but i think they may be illegal.
any suggestions appreciated as i am about to start on my back garden in this new home.
