Cats - How to Keep Them off Your Garden Safely
You may be the biggest cat lover in the world, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you want them digging in your flower beds. Here are some tips to keep them off your garden safely.
It is unfortunate that not only will stray cats come and use your garden for their toilet and raid your rubbish bin for extra snacks, but those of your neighbours will too. In fact, if you’re a cat owner, you will probably have noticed that your own cat rarely soils in YOUR garden - after all, why would they want to mess up their own territory?
However, cat lover or not, if you want to keep cats off your garden, please don’t put down poison or any other substance that will actually harm the cat. After all, the point is to keep them away, not kill them off.
There are a variety of products available which will repel cats without hurting them at all.
Powder
You can just sprinkle powder where you don’t want cats to go. Some of these powders are referred to as “cat pepper” which will actually make the cat sneeze and others contain a scent which imitates that of another animal. Either way, they’ll stay away in future.
The powder is not harmful to plants.
High Frequency Sound Producer
Because of the difference between what cats can hear and what humans can hear, the sound that this machine makes will deter cats from coming into your garden while you won’t be able to hear a thing.
Liquid Repellent
This is not of much use for flower beds, etc. but if you want to keep cats away from garden furniture, it can be effective because the cat will pick it up on its paws and when the cat grooms itself, it will taste awful.
Scent Neutraliser
The scent neutraliser will do what it says on the tin, which is to neutralise the scent of other cats. The odour that cats leave behind them often attract other cats, so the scent neutraliser should be applied to the normal route that feline visitors take in your garden.
Water and Air Sprayers
These work in much the same way in that they each have a sensor which detects movement. The air sprayer is a stand-alone alone device which emits a blast of air when it senses movement. Cats find this frightening and will hastily remove themselves. The water sprayer needs to be attached to a hose pipe but the end result is the same.
Electrically Charged Mats
These mats are powered by batteries and deliver a small electric shock which a cat will find most uncomfortable. However, this should be reserved for the most persistent of offenders as it doesn’t entirely fit the term “harmless”.
All these simple devices should ensure that your garden is free of unwanted cats without harming them at all.

The Temperament Of Cats
Perhaps you imagined yourself as a sleek young woman like Selena Kyle. But is a cat the right pet for you? To decide, you must have an idea what to expect from a cat. You must be familiar about the temperament of cats.
First of all, a domestic cat is a highly intelligent and fiercely independent creature. It can never be placed on a leash the way dogs are. Cats do things they want to do and when they want to do it. They will demand the things they want, such as food and play. And they will also make it clear when they want to be left alone. Thus, the owner of a cat cannot expect his pet to do ?work? for him.
Different breeds of cats have different personalities. Some cats are quiet while others like to meow all the time. Can you tolerate a cat who meows almost every hour? Some cats are fussy and choosy about the food you give them while others will eat just about anything. Can you afford the kind of food that your cat prefers? Some cats don?t mind being surrounded and petted by strange people while others will wield their claws if they face a person they haven?t met before. Does your house accept many strangers or are you alone most of the time? And some cats love to climb and curl on the lap of their masters. But others prefer to be left alone, watching TV or listening to the radio. Are you a cat owner who likes to cuddle all the time?
You will know when your cat is trying to get your attention. It will endlessly meow at you or it will follow you around or it will rub its body against your leg. You will also know if your cat is comfortable or scared by lifting up your cat. If the body is loose, then your cat is relaxed. If the body is tight, then something is scaring the daylights out of it.
Cats like to sleep. And the specific personality and breed of the cat will determine where the cat chooses to sleep. Some like to be in secluded places where no one can disturb them. They like to lie in high cupboards and similar places. Other breeds of cats like to sleep in places where everyone is converging. These cats like to be noticed. So they sleep at the center of the foyer, in the middle of the stairs and even on the couch, especially when there are guests.
Cats like to sharpen their claws. It is their nature, similar to wild cats such as lions, tigers, panthers, and cheetahs. This may irritate the owner, especially if the cat chooses to sharpen its claws on the couch. The owner may consider giving the cat a scratching post. The cat can be taught to scratch its claws on this post.

Iams UK Reveals Partnership With Buddies
Iams has launched a partnership with Buddies, the brains behind the original Puppy Pack, to provide new kitten and puppy owners with high-quality, nutritious pet food for their new-look packs.
These new packs will include quality pet food samples from Iams for new puppy and kitten owners to take home for their loved ones to try — for free. What’s more the puppy packs are available in small/ medium and large breed sizes to ensure the food is tailored to the needs of different breed sizes. Both Iams UK and Buddies know the importance of providing pets with premium nutrition from an early age and these packs are designed to give new owners the peace of mind that they are giving their pet the best and happiest start in life.
In addition to these tasty samples from Iams UK, Buddies packs include a coupon for money off for next purchases of Iams which can be redeemed in veterinary practices stocking Iams products. There is also a comprehensive and informative guide of how to raise a healthy puppy or kitten. Packs also include some fun toys for new pet owners to play with their furry friend to encourage activity from an early age.
Buddies is committed to promoting responsible pet ownership in the home and provides free puppy and kitten packs for vet surgeries to hand out to clients at their pet’s first vaccination. Buddies recognise that new pet owners have lots to remember when they go for the first vaccination and so the Buddies Guide provides an invaluable way to help ensure that best practice is followed in the home.
Iams and Buddies both value the support of vets and nurses who hand packs out to new puppy and kitten owners. As a gesture of appreciation and to give something back to those that support the initiative, Buddies pays 25p per pack handed out (in high street vouchers), once a completed receipt tag has been received from a practice.
To place an order to stock these new Buddies packs in your surgery, please call the Buddies Customer Care Line on 0845 673 8005.
