Can anyone make any useful suggestions for keeping them away?

Or do I just have to suffer in silence because people insist on keeping these animals but not controlling them adequately.

Gee Metla you'll incur the wrath of precious cat lovers with that idea!

Good idea mind you, but the only problem with that is I'd have to stand there all day and night to catch the blighters.

What can I do legally?

This guy had a good idea but got into a hell of alot of trouble for it.

Some people use a water pistol to very good effect. Pussycats are very smart - they will get the message. :angry

But I have difficulty imagining your problem. Cats are extremely clean and fastidious animals. We have three cats and I've never seen them use a lawn for a toilet. Unless it is newly sown out.

Thanks but we won't be getting cat . Reason: they are anything but clean and fastidious! It makes me cringe when I see cat owners let their beloved pussies crawl all over their kitchen benches .

So you know what your cats are up to 24 hours a day and that they never go in their neighbours gardens?

Have a look at this video of funny cats for a good laugh, it's 2.8MB to download so be patient, it is well worth the wait:

Then listen to the Paul Whiteman Orchestra playing Felix the Cat in 1928 with Bix Beiderbecke on cornet, great stuff:

If they're good, they should run as soon as they feel water -our neighbours are pretty good. We did have one of their kittens hidden under our car and locked up for the night ;) ~sy~ (95)
