I can't thank you enough for that information (I never even thought of it)

I have a problem with a particular cat coming into my garden and doing its business. I've tried cat repellant (which does work, but I have to remember to spray the entire garden every day, and if I forget, the xxx thing keeps coming back). It's also expensive.

My Italian friends that I golfed with today could sort out your cat problem... But at a price ......

Let's know how you get on.... obviously, if it rains you have to re sprinkle, and more oil is better than less..
