Cats using my patch a toilet!

[photo_ed]

Spent all last Sunday preparing & planting out my spuds, only to find that the neighbourhood cats have decided that all my hard graft was actually to make them an extra special litter tray.

Any ideas out there to persuade the blighters to find somewhere else to st & dig!

Same problem here - just our blighter though. Have put chicken wire around it - cat still jumps in. Next may be to put some wire on top?

Squirt them with water if you see them there?

Motion activated sprinkler system?

Lion poo?

Orange/Lemon peel?

Well you used chicken wire - you should have used cat wire...




Cats dig in the nearest bit of fresh soil - maybe if you dig a bit and plant nothing, it'll attract 50% of the poo?

I tend to find that throwing hose fittings at them (or whatever is first to hand) works quite well.

I'm a good shot with the garden fork, would that be a tad harsh?

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I've put some netting over for now and it seems to be keeping them at bay.

Even with a bucket of water over them they still come back... no cure?

Fortunately our two cats crap in someone elses garden

Put a saucer of Old Tom down. That should do the trick

I did once hammer some takck though a piece of hard-board and ut it where they crapped. Worked well until it caught me!

I used something similar to this. I 'showed' one of the pellets to my cat and it hissed and ran a mile!!

orange/lemon peel works, wonders. Give the garden a healthy sprinkling of fine black pepper as well, cats loathe it.

I've got an electronic cat scarer for my front garden. Plug it in and it scares the cats away £20 well spent

Cats use the stones on my carsite as a huge litter tray, caught one the other day & got him a treat with the hose...not seen him since the fker

Empty 2L pop bottles, labels removed and filled with water stood around should do the trick!

Next doors cat uses our garden as a litter tray. If it keeps on, I'm going to pop round to their's and take a sht in their back garden.
