Stop a cat crapping in my garden

Get a Lurcher.

Not seen a cat in the garden in years.

Sadly doesn't solve the poo issue as 3 times as much stuff comes out the back of it than goes in the front, strange dog.
 
I've been having a battle with an invisible cat doing it's biz in my car port and garden for the past 18 months.

I've tried all the normal humane methods (wouldn't want to hurt the cuddly things) and nothing has stopped it. I've bought 3 of the pest bye scarers and it just laughs at them.

The talk of foxes here has got me thinking though, I never see any cats during the day around here and it always happens at night. On the odd occasion I have managed to claim a poo free night victory it goes near the garages just across from me and then comes back the next night.

I have a couple of plant barrels that it was using but I bought some mesh netting and covered them last week and so far so good. Might have to do the same with my flower beds but don't really want it using the car port again.
 
I have one of these....

But to be honest its more for my own entertainment, because while it scares them away temporarily, they still come back.

Best thing I have found is the Lion based cat repellent pellets and also chilli powder and flakes. Unfortunately these only last until it rains and then you have to reapply. The ultrasonic cat repellers do not work in my experience.

This is the problem with cats. Are they pets or wild animals? Should owners take full responsibility for them like dogs? In my opinion they should.

I understand that you want to keep on good terms with the neighbour, but I'd suggest the owners of the animal look at some litter training or whatever it is you do with cats? The only cat I've experienced was an indoor cat that used a litter tray.

I agree. I think it's wrong that a neighbours animal can come and crap all over my garden and lawfully there is nothing to stop it from doing so. But the law is the law so there's not much I can do apart from deterring the little bugger.

Gives me even more reason to buy a dog!

Just fling it in their garden, the cat is theirs so it's turds must be their property, by definition.

That's all the cats it's eating.


My solution is to tell your cat owning neighbours that if you see it in your garden they won't see it again.

This stuff is black, some of it is like pebble droppings and looks a bit like dark mud I guess. The only way for a fox to get in my garden would be to go in via a neighbours garden as they all back onto each other.

Never rule out the fox our local one works it's way down the back gardens quiet happily like the fences walls and hedges are not even there he took to having his afternoon sleep in hours until we convinced him it wasn't the ideal spot!
 
I might get a camera up, something I've been thinking about. I've been away for a few days however I installed a water spray thingy and I don't think I've seen any more 'crap'.
