Cat poo

[classic33]

Yea but I'm not climbing in and asking Mr big cat.

Why, tis only a cat!

We made a small handwritten sign asking them not to poo in the garden, it worked as well as some other things we tried.

Do it inside, then take it outside.

Where’s the fun in that?

There’s something quite liberating about it, like marking your territory.

Orange peel and chilli powder left in the garden should help deter them.

Maybe they were Siamese, and your sign was in English.

Get a better dog.

Catapults and proper weapons aren’t the answer. Live and let live, violent means makes you worse than an animal that can’t help it’s ways. You just sink to the level of the kind of idiot who drives their car deliberately close to cyclists because they decide they’re holding them up.

I had a sonic deterent. Cats still pooped everywhere. One of the local kid’s mother complained her son couldn’t play by our house anymore as it sounded like mosquitoes.

I left it where it was. No one likes Josh.

Citronella gel was another waste of money.

I will have a decent cockerel by next spring. Rare breed Cou Cou de Rennes. £40.00 collected.

Just bought a motion sensing jet spray. If that doesn't work I'm putting Land Mines in!!

Lay some prickly sticks where they poo. Got the idea when we noticed they go nowhere near our ground covering roses.

Next door is having some building work done and the builders have left a trailer with sand in on their front lawn. One of our neighbourhood moggies left a present in the sand for them one morning.

The two suggestions re brambles and rose clippings definitely work. We had this problem with our neighbour’s cat and it worked.

My approach was remove the poo, douse area with lots of bleach and cover with hawthorn shoots. The cat moved on to another area so the exercise was repeated etc. After about three weeks it gave and went to poo in someone else’s yard.

My one claim to fame is I had this published in The Guardian Any Answers section!!

I had a cat that was taking the pee with its poo. My back door opens into a short dead end path into the garden. Of day there was a deposit right front and centre. It looked a fair few days old as I'd been away. Cleared it away. A couple of days later there was another in the same spot just sat on the path. I cleared and bleached the area. A week later and another one appeared. Just one in the same spot and only replaced when the last was cleared.
I had to admire the bugger for taking the piss like that.

Not had one for a couple of months now.

In my garden... and I don't keep cats
They're turning my garden into a toilet, I don't even let my dog on the grass, the grandkids play in there and I'm sick of clearing the stinking mess up.
Any deterrents ?

I sympathise as I have exactly the same problem. I've got those anti-cat granules down now and the garden reeks of garlic!.
