canonman .... I sympathise with you. I have to admit to being a lover of moggies, BUT, I'm choosing not to no longer own one owing to the vast and varied species of birds which now visit our garden.
I know of someone who uses two cat scarers, one is attached low down on the front wall of her bungalow, the other is hidden among the flower beds in her back garden. They appear to be extremely effective. The lady in question used to be regularly annoyed by an opportunist stray (we think) cat, who's sole purpose in life it appeared was to kill as many birds as possible. Although he is still spotted from time to time in the area, he no longer visits her garden, indeed, when he has been seen he's giving it as large a berth as possible while still attempting to "maintain" his daily route!
So, I would give cat scarers a big thumb's up! ...
