If you want to get rid of cats, get yourself one of these.  When this bird appears, the cats do a runner !

A woman in leopard skin circling me - I'd give her half an hour to stop that ;)

David if your memory is anything like mine you would have forgotten what you were thinking about after a fortnight.

Has anyone tried the electric fences used to keep cows in? I should think cats dislike them utterly but will not be killed.

Mmm? Electric stock fencing? Sounds tempting but wouldn't the cats just jump over it?

I have no idea whether the cats would jump or not but I think that it is a fair chance that they would touch it and then give it a very wide berth. I have no cat myself so I am no expert on cat psychology ;D
I have all sorts of animals visiting the premises including the occasional cat but the cats have never damaged anything at all - maybe because they have sufficient space to roam?
Saturday night we had -11°C Then 15cm of snow. Spring is, however, supposed to be underway.
Our meterologists seems to say that by definition we had Autumn until Easter then a very brief Winter  ???

PS
They define winter as mean temperature under 0°C for a week.
