7 am (yes I know, it should be noon, but no). Me looking at my garden from a window and holding my faithful gun -water gun I mean-
Gooood mooorning from my very sunny home! It is such a beautiful day. The birds are singing, the garden is spectaaaculaaaar and no peacock trying to shag its sisters in sight. Nobody brought me coffe and croissants in my bed. It's time to go and see what's going on in the kitchen. Well, nothing actually.
I had breakfast, a shower and got dressed, I am now ready to have a look at my People. For this interesting activity I am wearing
my night clothes with a 100 stars robe and Louboutin, so smart old trousers, a T shirt and wellies because there is a lot of dew. I would not want to be seen dead with Louboutin nor a Vuitton bag nor the Love bracelet by Cartier and you know why? Because I am not une "cagole", or une "pouffe", ie a tart. But I digress.
I make the "grand tour"

of the garden, I can hear chickens, ducks and even a donkey in the distance but no human being.
Where is everybody??
Silly me, back to the real world where people work for a leaving, do not beg, do some DIY and gardening.
I will not be tattling for a while because I am very busy and on top of that it is the gardening season. It is now time for mowing, trimming, weeding, planting, harvesting, preserving, jamming, dehydrating.... I will come here from time to time. I might post some photos.
Question:
We have a big problem with cats and we do not know what to do. We are animals lovers but we are fed up of finding dead birds and poo all over the place. We have tryed all sorts of repellents like mustard, lemons, vinegar, pepper, chili, rosemary, lavender. Ultra sound is bad for the birds. The cats climb over the little fence we put to protect the potager. We have even seen one climbing verticaly on a fence (1,8m high). We have inserted branches on top of this fence (eyesore).
We are now considering putting holly between the rows of vegs in the potager

They are neither feral nor stray cats (thank you Amanda from our French château). They have a home.
Hidden behind a tree, I do some watching with my loaded gun (1,8 l) and I spray them, but I have other things to do.
I have read that some Tatlers are gardeners, therefore if you have any ideas, you are more than welcome.
Thank you
