I have loads of bird feeders and adore what they attract.
Unfortunately, a new predator has appeared in my garden. In the form of a beautiful white cat. He sits, waiting ...
I do actually go out and talk to him. And shout at him. But, he just sits there. Looking at me. Daring me.
I adore the cat and I adore the birds.
That sodding cat!

Super soaker/hose with a little bit of pressure on it (not actually a pressure washer though!) is the answer to this. Get kitty once or twice and he won't be back.

Donny, yes, I'm going to try that. Very gently! I do not, in any way, want to harm kitty.

has the cat actually caught anything? He might be just looking and a useless hunter.

Kimmy, I don't know. He sits there just looking. He is a beautiful cat, but he has now taken a position right underneath one of the bird feeders.

Why don't you impose a "from the patio to the garden wall" policy and wipe him out?

Leave not a feline alive from the boundary fence to the water feature!
But seriously - a suitably high-powered firearm like a super soaker, or if the target is at close quarters, a water pistol, will do fine. Target practice ought to appeal to mr grumpy more than being told to pee all over the garden...

Thanks, Pez! The birds get priority in my garden. Mr Grumpy will not pee in the garden.
I had loads of long tailed tits this morning. A joy to behold (and listen to). They come in waves.

obviously that’s a human projection and perhaps they’re horrible
