How to Keep Cats Away From a Yard

hair brushed from dog & tucked into items around the yard

Everyone these days has cats... I personally can't stand them. Cat owners sometimes don't even seem like owners at all. They let their precious fur balls come and go. My neighbors like letting their precious fur balls out and relieve themselves (both ways) in my wood chips covering my flowerbeds. Smells nasty and my kids keep finding presents. Who wouldn't like to keep this from happening?

Things You'll Need

• dog (preferably a large one, mine is a German Sheppard)
• dog brush

Instructions

1. Take your dog brush and simply brush your dog. It is a good idea to do this for your dog every couple of days anway. I brush my dog until I have a good-sized handfull of hair.

2. I go into my front yard with the hair and periodically replace the old caches of hair under rocks, tucked into bushes, wrapped into my sprinkler attachments, and other nifty places. It doesn't take much hair in one spot. Just enough for the little fur balls to smell.

3. Go back and replace the caches every week or two. The smell of the dog wears off after awhile.

Tips & Warnings

• I would watch out to make sure you don't suddenly start atrracting other big dogs. Cat poo is smaller than dog poo, but cat poo smells a lot worse.

• If you do, just shoo the dogs away vigorously. Dogs learn faster than cats. I don't think cats learn at all.
