I always call it the back passage and never think Frances!!
At 1.30AM night before last Pepsi was going hysterical down here, so I came down to what I can only call a cacaphony??? of cats. I never heard anything like it in my life, pre bedlam. There must have been at least half a dozen, screaming their lungs out. It was pitch dark but I let Pepsi out and within a couple of minutes they'd all gone. Next morning I was shovelling poop up, it's sickening! These cat owners shove them out and night and don't give a dam where they go or what they do! I don't understand cats at all, because this one Tom that comes in and sprays comes up against Lucy, and she's a street cat, but when she decided to adopt me, I've had her "done", so I don't know what he comes round for.
I'd put the hose on your intruders day after day Tricia till they get the message! I know it's hard, my hose is attached to my back wall and by the time I've unrolled it the cat has disappeared!
