2lb_saucermeat Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 We've moved recently to a house where cats (and dogs I might add) seem to only want to poo in our garden. Its increadibly frustrating as we have a 2 year old boy, whos into everything, and we need to throughly examine the garden before we let him out tae play. (and he's potty training, this is relavent for anyone whos potty trained a toddler). A neighbours dog comes into our garden, steals our sons fitba, poops, and leaves, has done this on numerous occasions, however that is a different rant for the 'Dog Fowling' threads. The wife was in the garden this morning, and found 4 s*its, we believe are from cats. Is there any way of stopping this? Any handy tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 If you want rid of the cats, buy a dog. Just make sure he's bigger and meaner than next door's dog and he'll solve that problem too. Of course he'll need to take a sh..... Yeah, and if he's bigger, so will be the piles of it he leaves.... Oh well, back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 The only answer I have ever come across that has some efficacy is to create or buy a silhouette or 'cardboard cutout' of a cat and place it somewhere prominent. Any form of threatening behaviour or benign abuse from you is totally ineffectual. They just keep coming back and back and back. So, get a pet, or do this^. Nothing else works (having tried pepper, bottles, orange scented things and various hose related deterrents. The 'hose' ones are most fun but after a while it gets a little tiresome, and doesn't work at night unless you rig some sort of electronic sensor to start the sprinkler).

khitajrah Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 My partner has recently killed off the lawn to replant new seed and he was very worried about the local cats as they have been using my new rockery and vegetable gardens as communal litter trays. He got one of these and I must say it works a treat. We tested it on our own cat first (ie: chucking her in front of it to see what happened) and she ran away quicker than one could say boo. Our garden has been cat-poo free ever since! Apparently you only need to keep it in one place for two weeks and then the cats learn and avoid the area. Now... what about the fence-jumping dogs??

Order one, see what happens, in the mean time, might try a cardboard cat , one problem with this again might be the 2 year old thinking its a toy Now... what about the fence-jumping dogs?? Just one, and I believe it digs under the gardens fence (its actually 2 gardens away!), and went bonkers at the cats, s*at, then left! That was the first time I saw it.

Fjool Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 We keep a litter tray for ours to use, and she does. I don't see why cat owners should be absolved of responsibility for dealing their pet's mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piddly Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cats!!! dirty little b'stards. I had a problem with cats turdting over my shingle for months, i tried a few different things before i was told to sprinkle curry powder and spread lemon wedges around. I left the wedges down for 4/5 days then replaced them, i spread the curry powder over every 3/4 days depending if it rained. All this was done over a 4wk period, worked a bloody treat, no cat turd since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
