I've lived in this house for 4 years and up until about 6 weeks ago the garden (on of the reasons I bought it) looked like this...

then this year I gave up trying to fix it myself and shelled out the thick end of £2k to make it look like this..

very nice I'm sure you'll agree.

Now aside from the fact it hasn't stopped ****ing down since it was finished, I have uncovered another problem.

Next door but ones cat is absolutely convinced all I've done is rennovate its toilet. Yep, every day it must lay one out at least twice so before my kids can go in the garden I have to walk around with a bucket picking up (and disposing of) someone elses animals doings and its driving me insane.

Now before I take the direct route and kill it (I'm not even joking) is there anything that will deter it??

I was all set to get one of the ultra sonic things or various other bits of technology until I was in B&Q listening to a woman going absolutely postal because she'd bought everything they had and the cat was just ignoring it (she even said it kept smiling at her which pays testament to how irritating this is).

Now if this was a dog or one of their irritating ugly children I could legitimately roll up on the doorstep and ask them to fix it but somehow with a cat I get the impression I'm not allowed to do this?

So.. kill or cure?

Please help!
 
Invest in a supersoaker, the position you took the photos from looks like a prime point to snipe from.

The kids will enjoy it too :)

Another solution is to google for a strange mix you can make using onions (my mum tried this and it worked), I can't remember the ingredients but you spray this stuff around/hang onions about and eventually the cat gets the idea :D Your garden my resemble something out of the Blair Witch project though..
 
from google...

CAT DETERRENT

Mix two parts cayenne powder, three parts dry mustard, five parts flour and add sufficient water. Pour on cat...just joking. Apply to area where cats frequent.

Might be worth a try..
 
Someone mentioned supersoaker but take it to another level and stick stuff in there that messes up the cats fur. Something slightly sticky so it has to spend all day licking it off instead of dropping one off in your garden

my wife said that.. then I said it'll do even worse and she said "well get someone to walk it then!"

You get the hint of desparation...

I'm still tempted to deliver him half a cat.
 
Catnip F.T.W :cool:

Or like said, get a male cat, it will soon own the backyard when hes big enough :cool:

Lemon Juice is good for this :)

Even if getting a dog does give the same problem at least it will be your dog. Besides, the little presents in your garden will be the remains of the cat that will have passed through your dogs digestive system, dunno about you but removing those presents from your own garden and dumping them in the garden of the cat owner would be very satisfying to me :p

lol, I wouldn't actually do that... but poisoning it will become a very real prospect if I get through all the other potential methods.

Seriously, why the hell should I risk my kids getting covered in crap for someone elses pet?
 
ok.. shopping list..

tobasco, cayenne, supersoaker, honey, lemon juice, onions..

lol, it's like something from the A Team.
 
Buy one of those ultrasonic cat detterents, so when a cat does come near your garden its scared away by the noise :)

It will boost their immune systems :p


If you get rid of this one another will soon be in its place.

The best solution is to get a male cat you're self that you know will grow quite big and strong so its undefeatable and it will sort the problem out
