There's a weekly radio show for kids over here called That's The Story. Maybe I'll write an Austin story for that. Jo Ann - we're going to try the chilli powder. That might work when combined with the surprise sprinkler system. Austin just needs a little retraining. Anna – That’s actually a good idea.

Hubby is going to buy some packets of chilli powder tomorrow. Tracey - I must pass this tip on to my sister as well. Her cats keep jumping up on the counter top. Thank you.

The trouble is that most people let their pets roam free. Now if we had coyotes or owls or something that might change... Helen - it's a problem, that's for sure!

Its got to be about being downunder (right word?). I have four cats. I love them all. three of them try to get out side all the time. the baby, Sammie, likes that. If they are gone she has me to herself. Good Luck to Mr. Munro. Humans rarely win over cats. I know. I have never heard of anything growing in a sink, that is so coooool.

Years ago, my grandmother kept finding twists (those paper covered wire "thingies" you find in the produce section to tie up your bags) on the kitchen floor. (She kept them in an open container on the kitchen table. One day she caught the cat on the table, smacking one of the twists out of the container, throwing it in the air and landing on the floor! She started sprinkling the pepper on the table and the cat stayed off... :grin: I agree with Linda Henderson about the red pepper or cayenne pepper (I guess they are the same).

They get the red pepper on their paws and when they lick them it's hot and they don't like it. You might try it, I don't think it will hurt anything.

At least the kiddies didn't plant the seeds up their nose like mine did one year. lol Hmmm, getting rid of a pesky cat. If it has a bell on, does it belong to someone? I would let the owner know and complain about the cat coming in your yard to do it's business. Amy M, that’s just too funny.
