How do you stop cats crapping in your garden?

I found a swift boot up the arse helps them remember not to come into my garden

when they see me in the back lane they shrink back and avoid me...they remember eventually
 
hard approach .17hmr rimfire supersonic round.

More softer approach - Motion activated water sprinkler

Quite right they would not directly hunt each other. But what does short range out running have to do with dogs? Dogs are persistence hunters Who have no intention of hunting prey at short ranges, they tire them out until they give up.

Have a watch of dog packs hunting, they hunt their prey over 10s miles.

Then watch cats they hunt over a few 100m then give up if prey is not caught. Totally different styles.

So the dog would stand a chance if you had an open field of 10 square miles with no trees, small holes, fences etc etc. Not very likely scenario is it?

As I said one jump up a nearby tree and the dog would be left standing there barking. Distance then become irrelevant.

And as I said natural;)

That's a man made environment.
 
Mates Akitas have caught about 4 cats with one fatality over the years, only one of them (the boy) does it so its not a pack effort. This is in Barking so plenty of things to jump onto, maybe cats are just getting fatter.
 
Oh look, another one of these threads where everybody that doesnt like cats suggests that killing them is a viable option.

Funtimes.
 
I would suggest the same method which i used to train my cats to stay off the kitchen counters/work surfaces. A water pistol.

My cats have the run of the house which i dont mind. But i refuse to let them on the sides in the Kitchen where food and such is prepaired. Led with to a few rows with the missus but for a couple of weeks i just shot the buggers with the water pistol and they got the message. Nothing powerful so it doesnt hurt them, it just deters them.

I stand by my statement all dogs are pack hunters (that i can think of)
And the vast vast majority of cats are solitary hunters. Directly conflicting with your original statement, which you are back tracking on.

The vast majority of domestic cats are domesticated hence the name, in the wild they would hunt as normal like they do when feral, and I haven't back tracked on anything :S

*edit:

I have just noticed how something I said could easily be misunderstood, im not saying that a colony of feral cats would go around in a big gang hunting dogs, what I mean is that if a dog attacked the colony they would fight it off as a group, feral cat colonies are know to act like lion prides.

Do love these threads, same result every time..

1) OP asks a serious question
2) Someone jokes about killing the cat
3) Cat brigade jump on, engage their sense of humour bypass and proceed to express their "disgust"
4) Thread dies

Why bother?

My neighbors installed this to keep my cat out of their garden.
What they didn't know was my cat was deaf, had no effect. Loved the look on their faces :D
