Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Anyone know of any friendly and natural(-ish) ways to discourage neighborhood cats from wandering through an unfenced back yard?
Motion sensor sprinklers. Cat comes into yard, water sprays, cat leaves. You;d have to fiddle with setting it up to make it not bother the birds, but I think you could manage it.

Dylan is always coming over here and hanging with my brother (last night, they went to the Phillies game and he slept here afterwards)--he loves coming here and seeing both his dad and grandma.
That's very good news indeed.

Jesse: I had a "bagel" from Panera.

SH, here are some homemade cat repellant ideas.
I know someone who had great success with vigilant use of a supersoaker out an open window. No harm to the animals but took a little time.

StuntHubby, I know some cats who abhor the scent of citrus and/or peppermint.
Or, you could install sprinklers and turn them on remotely every time you see a cat in the yard....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

motion sensitive sprinklers would cause my cat to initially jump away, but then he'd go lay down under the lovely shower.
