I had a friend who put a mouse trap in her flower pots. Cats did not come back.They make commercial products to keep cats and dogs away. Just a little sprinkled on top the dirt and they won't come back.You would have to be careful but maybe a capful of ammonia in an old bottle lid.Keeps them out of the garbage.Good luck.

Just 2 thoughts - how long does it take for the mods to move this topic to GCC?
Second, I used to have a cat that liked to go in the veg. garden. Had a 2 story house, if I was at the door or on the porch when I shooed him away, he would "git". But if I was at a 2nd floor window, I could yell all I wanted and he would look at me like, "well what are you going to do about it?" He was a smart cat.

We spoke to the cat owners many times and it did no good. DH bought a live trap and when he caught one we would take it to the SPCA and they would contact the owner and they would pay a fine and get the cat back. A few times of doing this they got the message.

It doesn't bother me, I have cats in the house and feed the ones outside, I never have mice. I heard a noise at the door the other day and when I looked out one of the cats had just caught a mouse and was walking off with her prize, I will continue feeding them. Also, the birds keep the cat dish empty, when the bird feeder runs out, who knew!! LOL

I think ultimately it comes down to the owner of the animal being responsible for their pet. If talking to the owner doesn't work than I agree with trapping the animal and taking it to the SPCA.
