Answer 5

Aw, they're just doing what cats do.  Please don't hurt them.  I understand your frustration, but you could be charged with animal cruelty.  Try putting moth balls in your garden; they should deter the little buggers.

Answer 6

i like some cats...with exception on the spikes it doesn't make you evil...just awesome.

Answer 7

If you do anything that injures the cats which includes spikes; it's considered animal abuse and you could get in serious trouble.  Look up types of scents that cats stay away from and use something natural to keep them away.  Or, get a dog.  That works for my neighbors.

Answer 8

Here's some advice...

1. Grow up.

2. To keep cats out of the garden, the best thing to do first is to lay some soft netting down in rows in between all the flowers. Placing several rocks at the edge of the netting to keep it in place better. You can sprinkle a thin layer of soil over the netting, and use decorative rocks so it‘s not obvious why they are there. If any cat tries to dig in the soil, their claws will get stuck in the netting. Next, you can apply some repellent to the rocks. You can purchase some cat repellent at any pet store. Cats don’t like the smell of citrus fruit, so it is an excellent deterrent for gardens and plants. Citrus scented cleaners can be another means of keeping cats out of your garden. Be aware that you will need to re-apply this occasionally since the scent will wash off with water.

Never use mothballs, because they can harm the cat. Mothballs are composed of naphthalene and/or paradichlorobenzene; both are toxic substances. By law in the US, pesticides can not be used for purposes other than stated on the label. Mothballs are a pesticide. Scattering them over the yard for repelling animals is definitely not on the label. Mothballs have been implicated in several poisonings of small children who mistake them for candy. The label almost certainly states that they are not to be placed where they can be accessed by children. They could also be hazardous for animals such as cats and dogs.

Also burying orange peels may deter cats, but it will attract other animals like raccoons.

Answer 9

Was gonna say no, it makes u stupid cos cats can jump so it would have to be a bloody deep pit and you wouldnt be able to get out of it once you stopped digging! lol

But then... spikes!!! ahh.............. not so stupid!

Answer 10

Yes it does but make sure it is a really deep pit, maybe with a bit of luck you will fall in and spike your a-- so make sure they are large spikes.  

Answer 11

Without spikes.. the cat will just jump back out.  

Answer 12

Haha! Yeah that might be a little evil.

Answer 13

poor cats!

lol

Buy fox urine from the vets and spray it along your garden.

CATS HATE IT )

Answer 14

Haha. No seriously you are evil for even thinking about it. But here is a hint, CATS JUMP HIGH!!!!!!!!

Answer 15

take out the spikes and promise that you will return the cats to their owners with malice and disdain and I'll agree...  

Answer 16

umm yes it does..... they're animals just let them be

Answer 17

go to your nearest zoo and ask for some tiger sh*t and place this all over your garden and hey presto no more cats ! can be a bit smelly in the summer heat though ... it will also deter any neighbours wandering through your garden too as tiger sh*t sticks to shoes like super glue... at least you will be able to identify which neighbours have been in your garden because of the trail they will leave leading back into their houses.....

Answer 18

yes it makes you very bad, put pepper or orange peel in the garden, its much nicer and safer for the lovely little moggies.

Answer 19

It is possible that those cats are keeping vermin out of your garden that would do harm to your flowers or veggies.

There are many things that you can try.  If you are there when they come (you allude to them bothering you), keep a water source handy.  A squirt from a bottle or water gun or garden hose will send them on their way.  Also, try putting out moth balls or citrus peelings, both of which they detest.

At least the cats are small and aren't too destructive.  I am trying to get rid of deer!
