Nothing seems to keep them away. My pak choy, choy sum or whatever greens, never had a chance to grow up.. always get dug up half way.. Sigh.. <br /><br />Anyway, I also cover my boxes (i plant my vege in styrofoam boxes) with wire mesh but they will still come. Sit on it.. crawl underneath it.. So, of late, I have resort to using those mouse traps that will slam on their paws when they dig up the soil.. so far so good... no more poo and pee..Food so delicious!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11848603383554397216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-11503344633514403442011-01-24T15:27:04.125+08:002011-01-24T15:27:04.125+08:00My father told that rue plant can get rid of cat. ...My father told that rue plant can get rid of cat.

Once it rains or when the sun is out, the smell will dissolve quickly... waste of effort/money. Even if the spot is sheltered, those repellents are not really effective also. Btw cat's vomit is even more disgusting...Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-89278258917141938292011-01-23T21:23:16.562+08:002011-01-23T21:23:16.562+08:00Hi p3chandan,

Her son showers the cat about twice a month, and clean the cages every so often. But the problem is when she lets them out of the cage in the mornings and evenings, my backyard become some sort of a resort for them to hang-out!<br /><br />Hi Diana,<br />One mentioned orange peels. Is this the herb you meant? <br /><br />Hi One,<br />Will look up on orange peels. Thanks for the tip. Your dogs sounds like a very good idea! Hmmm.... !!<br /><br />Hi Hafez Carlucci Zahruddin,<br />Thank you for visiting! I'm at a loss too! Only thing is to cover the soil with some sticks. And I overturned some empty pots on the ground where there are soil to prevent them from digging! <br /><br />Hi Bangchik,<br />Yes, that is so! <br /><br />Hi petite nyonya,<br />They are real smart! They sometimes push the satay stick to the side! Anyway, satay stick do not last long, reput under the rain and sun! I was thinking of getting some plastic chopsticks, these are longer and sturdier than satay sticks! Slowly clearing off my porch plants for my 'future herb plants'! Will do after CNY, nobody waters for me during CNY!kitchen flavourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556865191279476910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-43294590297731398172011-01-23T20:15:21.846+08:002011-01-23T20:15:21.846+08:00alamak..the kittens look cute but of coz not only ...alamak..the kittens look cute but of coz not only a nuisance but pencuri also!! luckily no cats in my area! put more satay sticks closely together. biar their buntuts kena cucuk!! but kesian pulak. i think you better plant in your porch area.petite nyonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159708832268114982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-76425683426527374122011-01-23T08:50:17.194+08:002011-01-23T08:50:17.194+08:00Cats are adourable... but anything sandy in the ga...Cats are adourable... but anything sandy in the garden is their toilet..... huh.Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-73330923694633899812011-01-22T23:03:07.141+08:002011-01-22T23:03:07.141+08:00O' dear.

I remember reading that years ago. You could check it out. I am not a cat lover but as I read your post, my daughter started staring and telling me how cute the kittens are. Last year she put a stray cat in the basket of her bicycle and cycle around while the cat enjoy itself, sitting comfortably. Do you want to borrow my dogs? They can solve your problem.Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919719601969345138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-5122594294615472912011-01-22T19:08:08.170+08:002011-01-22T19:08:08.170+08:00Your regular cute visitors is keeping you very bus...Your regular cute visitors is keeping you very busy I see. Maybe because the smell from your delicious cooking from the kitchen make them come so often.

Ive gone through all those things that happened to you and they peed and pooed in the house which make the whole house stinks! So to control them I bought 2 very large cages (triple decker bunglows!), plenty of space for them to roam and play inside. But twice a day, morning and evening I will let them out to play and potter around the garden with me which they love.I guess we as owners have to be responsible so that our pets wont be a nuisance to our neighbours.If you cant take care of them, better dont have them or give them away.p3chandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103679390426867817noreply@blogger.com
