Anti-Cat Device

I don’t like cats. I suppose they look OK. But that’s about all of the enthusiasm I can muster for them. I’m quite allergic to them. And they taunt my dog all day long, sauntering around our porch and yard. I would have to endure about half of the barking as I do now, if there weren’t cats loose in our neighborhood. But I think the thing that pisses me off the most is what they do while running around loose. They shit in my garden. It’s disgusting. It makes me mad. It’s unsanitary. It STINKS! I hate cats.

Anyway, it has taken me all of these years to finally come up with something that works to keep them out of my garden beds. I’ve tried chili pepper flakes, which work OK until it rains. I’ve tried spraying them with a hose every time they come near and I see them. But they just wait for me to leave, then come back. Seriously, I’ve seen them waiting on the other side of my driveway, then walking into my yard as my car is pulling out. Ooh, that kills me. I’ve tried loosing my dog on them when they enter my yard. Temporary.

Then, for a completely unrelated reason, I started mulching parts of my garden with hay. It took me about two weeks before I realized that these parts of my garden were the only places that weren’t nasty, stinking cesspools of cat crap. Eureka! So out came the hay, and I had a, you know, hay day. Sorry. Had to be done.

Not too bad, huh?

This really saved me in my new front bed, which is sitting empty until the fall seeds go in.

Does that look like a big cat box to you? NOT ANY MORE! I am cat poop-free. I’m a new woman.
