True.
Some people can have moles in embarrassing places.
I met a farmer in the co-op once!
He was looking for some poison to kill the frogs on his place as they
kept him awake all night ???
HUMANS ??
Donkeyman!
What Moles? that would be telling :twisted:
Right in the vegetable patch!
He’s no farmer just a criminal ,that’s heartbreaking.
I always like to think people like that will get their come-uppance in the next world.
There is no next world. Work on that basis alone.
Aaw, don’t burst my bubble Todger.
He’ll be telling us there is no Santa next!
[I]From the New York Sun newspaper long ago.
DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’
Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Go figure.
Sorry Swims on this being a cat person I can’t agree with you I’m with Twinks on this one and as Lionqueen says don’t stress about it… its only chit
One last time - this works - it doesn’t hurt the cats and does not effect other wildlife - birds, hedgehogs etc.,
It is £59 - but if it does the job isn’t it worth it?
Hi
There are two issues here, idiots and cats.
It is not just a matter of cats pooing in my garden, it is the issue with wild birds.
I prefer them in my garden to cats.
The idiots are human, razor wire is something they understand.
And no Mups, I can put it up.
You do not stretch it, you put it up loose and coil it.
It is very different to barbed wire, which I still have the stretchers for after living on the smallholding.
Barbed wire is stretched, a deterrent to cattle.
Razor wire is designed to snag clothing.
Fair enough Ripple…;-)
I was going to add, it has to be under its own steam…
But steam rises too…
Why not store all the cat’s poo in the shed, then just wait for someone to steal it?
Well - that little machine would rid your garden of cats without bothering the birds, Swimmy. Unlike a lot of sonic deterrents it is specifically designed to deter cats.
As for human trespassers - razor wire, man traps and alligator infested moats are good!!
That is probably true but there must be a similar trap available, I vaguely remember my old man using something similar to trap rats near his rabbits. The advantages is that they don’t hurt the cats being basically a cage with a spring loaded door.
it was a solution that worked well for me I never get cats in my garden, just lots of birds now, the possum trap sits unused in my garage. it is by far the easiest solution for a cat problem.
As you have Ring Security why the need for razor wire when you could have window and door sensors on the shed and an exterior siren . I did have a large pond that need protecting from the hungry heron I used a water cannon it worked a treat ,it also caught my dog it would definitely deter cats.
This one is for cats https://www.primrose.co.uk/-p-1907.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4YGVp7Lf8QIVwbTtCh3G0gwREAQYBiABEgIBjvD_BwE
I had trouble with the pigeons nesting in the little copse across the road. So I caught them and drove them 300 miles to Basingstoke and let them go…
They beat me home…
