Cats do that - they are filthy animals!

Cats have to poo somewhere.

It's up to their owners to give them litter trays to poo in. Even then it's not guaranteed they won't prefer to poo in a neighbours garden.

Ok sounds gross but if a cat is marking its turf the best thing to put it off is male urine, sounds vile I know but it really works, especially the wee 1st of the day, the cat should smell it and think uhoh someone else owns this and leave without doing its business.
Cats are creatures of habbit but once broken they don't tend to come back some should only be a one off treatment!

Another good option is to get a cat, that generally puts other cats off and they don't use their own gardens as toilets so problem solved!

Years ago i had this thing that you switched on and only animals could hear it. It didn't scare the cats it just got on their nerves so they stopped coming. It was really good but you had to keep moving it around the garden so they didn't just go in a different place.

At the time we only had a small back garden as we had a terraced house so i'm not sure if you would need more of them if your garden was big. It did work for a few years buit we then moved house and didn't need it anymore.

I'm really sorry i don't know what it was called but i do remember it cost approx £50 but it did stop the cats that insisted on pooing around my DD's sandpit!

I had this problem with the neighbours cat. I found marigolds worked a treat.

Now ive got my own cat ...

i've 4 cats, and i found that two litter trays seem to work , for me and my neighbours, i have one in the downstairs bathroom and one in the loft, so where ever they are in the house they can get there easily. i do let two of my cats out but as they are obseved using the tray i feel sure they are not troubling my neighbours.

We moved into a new place last year & had a nightmare with various cats in the area only for some reason picking on our front garden!......best thing thats worked for us (for over a year now) scatter garlic bulbs around the places they're using & they'll not be back!...did buy a plug in scarer thingie but didnt really work that well...came out to find 2 cats asleep at the side of the scarer!

Only downside....the garlic can start to take root & grow!

If they're using a bit of 'open ground' between plants on bare soil .....


lay down prunings off thorny bushes, spikier the better, it stopped our next door neighbours cat !

that and a jug of water thrown at it whenever I got chance ( this was my neighbours suggestion and its her cat! )

Have you tried planting some catnip?

You'll prob have some very happy cats hanging about but they wont poo anywhere near it!

Cat problems again. I have just moved in my house and found out that the cat loves to use the garden as his toilet. The cat has pooed all over the garden, when I put orange peels etc, he moves to another area. I have alredy identified five areas when he has done his business.

Is he a catnip pusher?
Tell the owner his cat should qualify for an Enterprise Grant.
