Raised Beds are full of cat poo!

I've been using old upturned plates on mine inbetween plants - will be netting the lot over Summer, which will then stay on all year. Not sure yet if I am going to net the top as well - have awful thought that a cat will somehow jump in from the fences and get trapped there and poo all over it till I can let it out. *shudders*

Hope the beds don't cost too much to refill OP.

I don't have a cat problem as i have 2 large dogs.
But i have the dog mess issue instead,plus they can dig more plants out than a cat .........(esp if they see you plant it, they have to 'investigate' it when your back is turned ....) gits .....

My answer is one of those Mesh security fence panels you get around building sites, cut out the mesh and I covered the planter with it. Its strong enough that they can't break it (they have tried)!

We have a dog too. He's such a wuss the local cats either ignore him or take the mick depending on their mood.

One cat which has been using the beds as a litter tray keeps prowling around clearly unsure why it can't get back into the same spot. (I have plastic zipped covers over the beds now). Hopefully he'll take the hint and move on.
