    I'm dubious if you can keep cats in one place or preventing them from wandering, if that is what they want to do, short of turning your garden into a cage or the suburban equivalent of Fort Knox, as was mentioned already.

    Our neighbour has two cats - even the elderly one manages to get over his 4 foot high fence into the next door neighbour's garden, over the fence after that, over the fence after...and then wanders around to the front of our row, to await his owner coming home! The younger cat has no trouble scaling 6 foot high fences.

    We have a spaniel who hates water, rain or anything else wet LOL
    So the water shooter also keeps her in her place :hehe:

    I'm not sure where the fear of water comes from.
    She was always the same right from a very small pup.
    Although she is better now, as a pup she would run a mile and hide if the hose came out.
