Hi,
I have a cat that comes into my front garden and poo's on either the
front lawn,
or the front flower bed. I have tried everything the garden
centre has to offer
- Pellets, lion dung, spray, gel. I have also bought
a sonic sound thing (which
kept it away for a day or so, then it did a
poo right in front of it).
I have tried pepper, cocktail sticks and jeyes fluid buried underneath
the
compost.
Has anyone got any ideas. I'm going out of my mind!!! Please don't
suggets
getting a dog, the wife wouldn't have it.
Who'd have a sodding cat anyway. I suppose it doesn't poo in the owners
garden
though.
Cheers

A well placed cork?
But seriously... there are a number of cat deterrents available from
garden centres. My personal favourite - not because I have ever used
it, I haven't needed to - is lion poo. I am not joking. It is
variously called ZooPoo, or Silent Roar, or such. I have no idea how
expensive it is, or how much you need, but here is somewhere to start
your research.

If you have the time to sit in wait with a good "soaker" water pistol that
is supposed to deter them after a while.

Because they don't make lovely well dug beds in their own gardens?
You could try digging a flower bed for your neighbour. The cat would
have less far to walk.

Moth balls, break with a hammer into a few pieces and sprinkle around
their usual haunts, they do not like it.
