Cats

[SexyGreyFox]

I found squirting them with water a few times helps in scaring them off.

We had automatic sprinklers, high pitched noises, smelly stuff and nothing worked until we put the pretend cats down above.

Bought these 10 years ago and never had a problem since with poo'ing.
They do run past them but don't poo.

I don't know how true this is but we have next doors cat in our house and our neighbour doesn't mind, we do cat sit it at times.
He said the reason why the pretend cats work is because cats don't like being watched by other cats when they are poo'ing.
Could be true.

Cats won't 'go' anywhere where they're uncomfotable. That why the scarers work (I've got three and they work fine. The volume can be controlled on the ones I have). I've also put the spikey pads into the beds that they were favouring. One of the local cats is a deaf as a post, but he's old now so tends to go on his owners lawn.

Holly branches with lots of leaves can work. Free if you have a Holly tree

Welp, after getting to the house to find 2 cat turds on the doormat this morning, the silhouettes were promptly put up. Fingers crossed.

Cats bury their poop, probably dogs or foxes.

Depends on the cat really, while most instinctively bury feces, some are just not that way inclined.

I’ve had this issue for 18 months now since our neighbours decided to let their cats inbreed from 2 > 15~

I’ve tried everything you can think of, now at a stage where the entire front patch of stones has 10 (yes 10) 2mx30cm spike strips covering the lot.

There is one strip where it’s not covered (as I ran out), and they all now **** on that one patch and the stones along the path.

The odd cat turd is fine, having a constant stream day and night from a pack of feral cats (they don’t get looked after properly, half of it is diarrhoea) stinking up the place causes far too much mental torment, aarrrggghhh!!

Report them to cat charities, as someone who fosters cats who come from such conditions it pees me off no end how horrid some people are. I also concur with turds on doormats more likely being foxes, happens all the time to us and caught on our cameras.

I actually like Cats but something (I suspect a cat) keeps ******** on our front lawn, I went out to mow it this morning and it was covered in ****.

I had a spare tapo cam thing so I've set it up looking at the front lawn with motion detection on just covering that area as I want to know what it is.

I don't think it is, but if I see it's a dog, I live in a small village and I'll find them.

I take it you have a particular set of skills ?

I can confirm that no amount of foxes can produce the amount of poop on my front lawn (stones), there is a pack of approximately 15~ cats without exaggeration in that statement

They’ve **** the entire front set of stones up, and migrated to the door mat + side of the house + front of garage

I hate them

Will be looking into this, I did see what the council could do recently but apparently nothing. Appreciated.

We thought we had a cat pooing problem too, And we have a dog.. Turns out the poo was from hedgehogs. Looks like cat poo but breaks up like soil... Now we have a dog hating hedgehog problem. Seems he doesn't learn that trying to bite them leads so a sore mouth.....
