    You can also scatter pine cones or lay down chicken wire. Along the same lines that bulrush posted. It bothers their feet.

    Live trap a lynx and turn him loose in the garden, he'll show 'em what a real cat is. THen of course you've got this pesky lynx problem.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    You could pick up an old sofa that somebody is throwing out. Put it near the garden - cat will exercise it's claws on the sofa and leave the garden alone.

    I've got two in the yard all ready. My wife won't let me put another sofa or another bus body in the yard.

    I don't think I follow that at all. What are dead drops and why did they plant rats there? Did they think they would grow?

    Dead drops are liquid fertilizer drops from dead stuff mixed with water. Rats won't grow in dry sandy soil. Some gardener

    Dead drops are when we had Russians working for us and they had like film or something that they wanted to give our spies over in Russia they would hide it in dead animal carcases because who would go picking up dead rats so they figured it was safe but birds and other animals would pick them up and take off with them for food so they tried many different substances to keep animals away from them, hence the Tabasco sauce, it worked the best.
    so my sugestion is to try sprinkling some tabasco on the plants or an old rag and leave it in spots in garden to keep the cats out. havent tried it my self but it's worth a shot.

    Actually the term dead drop - in the realm of espionage referred to the exchanging of something (information, papers, parts, whatever) without a face to face exchange. The person leaving the material (in a prearranged spot) would then signal the person picking up the material (might be a chalk mark, pile of stones, whatever signal was prearranged). The receiver of material then knew to pick up the material. Think of it like putting mail in your mailbox for pick up and raising the little flag to signal that there was something for pick up. It had absolutely nothing to do with dead animals.

    If I understand it correctly you are supposed to drop dead Russians in your garden. I must say, that's a long way to travel and a lot of work just to keep cats out of your garden.

    i dont like cats either. My friend had this nasty cat who scratches badly...
    Anyway, my other friend had the same problem as u. he somehow caught it in a bag and drove a long way and dropped the cat off behind a path mark.

    What u need to do is get two people and wear thick gloves. Get a strong bag. One person act nice to the cat and pet it on the head. Have the other person ready the bag. MAKE SURE THE CAT DOES NOT SEE THE BAG> DO NOT PUT THE CAT HEAD FIRST OR IT WILL RUN OFF. Ok get the cat in the bag and close it quick.

    anti freeze is not a good idea.

    if your gonna kill them just shoot them out right, dont poison them to suffer and die.

    dogs love the taste of antifreeze too so id be careful even considering it.

    if theyre feral cats use a cage trap then dispatch and dispose of them elsewhere.

    if you know its your neighbors id tell em to keep it on their property or it would be fair game.
