  • mine are also raised beds and have successfully stopped it this year by placing net over the top so they move to the front garden.

    I even know who the cat belongs to and feel like bagging it all up until theres lots and giving it back
    :cool: Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
    Sometimes age just shows up all by itself ;)

    In the end, it's not the years in your life
    that count....it's the life in your years :D

    They did until local councils had to make budget cuts

    My local council still does.

    The difference is that cats do their doos somewhere a little more remote than on the street or where people are walking, dogs do it anywhere - usually on the street that they are being walked on.

    But I don't want any cats burying poo in my garden at all, for that matter I don't even want any cats in my garden.

    Perhaps if all cats had to have their owners details on them, we could catch the culprits and send the offending articles back to the owners? :rotfl:

    Just spray them with a hose/water pistol and they'll soon learn to avoid your garden.

    Cats are quite intelligent, like that.

    I'm a responsible dog owner and would never dream of doing that but I've also seen bags draped & dumped in some very odd places. I always carry dog bags & kitchen paper in carrier bag ready for action & then deposit in nearest dog bin, failing that I take it home. It's no wonder dog owners get a bad name but honestly we're not all the same.

    Our local council (WLDC) supplies poop scoop bags free, possibly other councils do as well.

    Regarding dog mess I always pick up and place in a bin.

    Not all dog owners are irresponsible. I often take our pup on the playing field, walking round the perimeter, through to the woods. The other day I spotted other regular dog walkers walking round the playing field with carrier bags, and wondered what they were doing.

    It seems several of them regularly go round collecting litter and depositing it in bins. There is never any litter to be seen.

    Part of David Cameron's Big Society, I suppose, but they deserve respect.

    :eek: You pay that much?!!!! Have you not heard of using nappy sacks - I get bags of 300 nappy sacks for around 68p, sold in most of the large supermarkets!

    Here's to saving money! :T
    The poop bags from the 99p are stronger.
