Ok...
So the thread below is asking for sensible suggestions of how to keep cats out of your garden.
Imagine you had a huge amount of money to develop an anti-cat garden.
What would you use?
Lasers? Robot-dogs? Pit-traps?
EDIT: Prize for the best idea.
EDIT 2: Gonz wins.

Poor effort.
C'mon, the board is slow, I'm making an effort here!

That is making an effort
I know no other process that would put more thought and effort into despoiling a cat than a Kaol, or a whole army of Kaol's.

With a draw-bridge.
Would keep out religious-types too.

How gutted would you have to be, to be a _zombie_ that's infected with Rage?

Velcro for the lawn, with a small saturation of dog urine
It'd mean the cats would get their fluffeh stuck to it and have to struggle (not particularly hard - don't want a kicking from BeckyJohnSpencerBluesExplosion) to get free - they'd also run off and have to lick themselves clean thus ensuring that they wouldn't return.
Anything doing permanent harm to the kittehs = no no; personally, I don't particularly like cats but that doesn't mean I'd go out of my way to cause them harm!

Yup.
Can't argue with that.
Except then you'd have a garden stuffed with mongs on rhinos firing super-soakers at each other. Might be a bit tricky if you wanted to do any garden - but who cares? You've got mongs on rhinos to watch!

I suppose it depends what Herr K
actually meant by "anti-cat."
Did he mean to deter them, or brutally destroy them in a creative fashion?
(

Either.
As long as it keeps your garden cat-free.

*splits hairs*
But if you destroyed them, the garden would be littered with dead cats.
And I hardly think that's strictly "cat-free," now, is it?

The easiest way to deter cats from your garden is to build a moat
and have it accessible only by a remote control drawbridge.

At $62.5 trillion per gram it'll be an expensive solution. Also (ignoring catnip being matter) having anti-catnip would be shit as it'd annihilate catnip, not cats. You need anti-cat-matter.

hmm, on second thoughts
I've just got a yard anyway, so why not see if you could make the surfaces as frictionless as possible? Then, everytime a cat jumped your fence, you could amuse yourelf by watching it skid into walls and scrabble around before it finally left... shouldn't take the neighbourhood cats long to work out not to jump into your garden.

Final Solution.
Boil some starfish. Feed cats resultant mush. It is a slow acting nerve poison so they die elsewhere. I am in no way advocating this but it is a known final solution.
Personally I would have a tracking\targetting device linked to servo-assisted watercannon. Filled with weak honey-water. Fun to watch and efficient.

if I had my choice
I'd create a mesh of incredibly thin and sharp wires so thin they are invisible to the naked eye, and when a cat jumps off my wall it will be cut into cubes ready to go into a stir fry.
something similar to one of the traps in Cube I reckon.

Cat-seeking robots
Adapting this:
www.quantumpicture.com/Flo_Control/flo_control.htmfor the cat shape recognition and putting it in one of those walking robots the Japanese are so fond of.
When it spots one it opens its arms, says "Kitty!" and lumbers towards it. Cats naturally mistake its strange waddle as that of a mong and, not wanting to be hugged and petted and called George, will scarper.
