Please help me to not murder...

We had this problem, tried all sorts of things and it never worked...until we got a dog. I know it's not the solution for everyone but I don't know of anything else that works. Oh and those ultrasound things are bloody annoying if you can hear them!

If a cat dares to venture into our garden now then it will never stay to do its business. Also, if we see it in the garden we just have to let the dog out and he gets rid of it quickly.

Been ranting to someone at work, they suggested a noise making thing. Makes sone sort of noise only cats can hear and keeps them away. Anyone know about this?

I do like the lion idea. Someone at work suggested a landmine :p

Yeh my girlfriend's mum has a few of these dotted around her garden. I can vaguely hear it sometimes but it's only audible if you're close to it. I'm not sure of the range but I'm sure there's a variety of models available. Regardless, they certainly worked well!
 
I have put tent pegs around the edge of our front lawn and stringlines about 50 - 75mm above the grass, across the lawn. Our neighbour did the same and seems to have moved the cat on. The cat was crapping on the centre of the lawn, the first night we did this it then went on the adjacent flower bed just outside the stringlines. We then put powder down. So far it has not come back. I will pull the pegs out in about a week and see what happens. You only need string around the edge and a couple of diagonals.

Otherwise it is the guillotine.

How true it is or if it even works but my mums neighbor once said to lay down moth balls as they have a strong smell and cats hate em.

Moth balls are toxic. Not only could they kill the cats and other animals, but they are also a health hazzard to humans .... nice idea with a new baby on the way.

put some capsaicin powder, really hot stuff, around the perimeter.

DO NOT do this. The cats get it on their feet, wash their faces and get it in their eyes. The cats end up literally scratching their eyes out to stop the burning.


There is some REALLY stupid advice in this thread.
 
Cats actually infect more pregnant women from their poo than people catch diseases from dog poo. All cats are evil apart from Big Game cats which are cool.

I just looked into this and yes on the Wiki they are classed as toxic if ingested.

Please accept my apology it was way beyond any intention to cause harm to you and your family.

I did not know they where toxic.

Just crouch in a bush wearing a massive dog costume, jumping out and yelling "I'm a dog!" whenever said feline comes near. Take some Kendle Mint Cake and jazz mags to ward off the boredom.
 
Is it definatly a cat. Ive just asked my gardener about what looks like cat crap and it turns out to be hedgehog. Its very dark and when dry has the consistancy of soil when crushed
