Cats and raccoons in my yard.
Raccoons have been stealing peppers and breaking branches off all pepper bushes. They're not scared of cats either.
Cats are only useful to keep out birds, squirrels and rats. ...Actually, not sure they keep rates out. Last year there was a fucking massive scruffy rat eating cat food and a fucking stupid cat was waiting for its turn to eat out of the bowl, right next to the rat.
