cat poo

panchenlama

it was bad. i actually ran out one time as it had got one on the lawn and it's mate was going mad. cat ran off and the injured bird went into the bushes. That was the last time I saw that group of thrushes...

I know we're applying human logic to this but when I am in the window clapping my hands and growling at it it just looks up and throws me a 'whatever'!!

Hissing at them works better.

They hiss at each other to threaten, so do the same, and most will see you as a big, threatening cat, and run a mile.

you could consider getting a bb gun or air pistol and dealing with it that way.

and have the RSPCA knocking on your door with an arrest warrant no doubt. Water pistol is just as effective. You decry the cruelty to birds but what about the cruelty to the cat that you are advocating. Talk about double standards.

Cats chase birds - its nacha innit.

I never had any problems with cats till a few year back when idiots next door moved in (professionals) they took on three cats, now one (not guilty on the demise of the other two :j)
Tried all sorts of methods, nothing seemed to really work, I now gather up the cat poo and, leave it at their back door.

I know when they stand in it, coz all I hear is "chit" then the back door slams shut, with me replying, "it is, isn't it".

I don't understand people who care more for an animal that causes others grief.

They also have two dogs that get left out in their garden all day while they are at work, one is no problem at all, the other is a constant yip, that is, till I hose the yip down.

Such are the joys of living in a nice area!!

Just remember the cat will always outsmart you!

The other two were smart, so smart they could not distinguish milk from anti-freeze.

I've similar problem, there is a cat use to come in my garden for a long time but i've never found a poo BUT in last two weeks there's new poo everywhere in my lawn literally like 15-20 a day its disgusting. My son is 22 months old and now he can't play in the garden.
Just today i noticed three new cats in my drive way so i think its them or one of them. Please advise what should i do, here's the link to poo photos just to confirm that its cat.

Please advise.

Lillies are said to have a deterent effect - possibly due to the fact that they are extremely toxic to cats.

Mmm. Thems look extraordinarily like wormcasts to me.

I'd second that - comparing the size to the grass they are pretty small to be cat droppings, and if you are getting that many per day you either have a boarding cattery next door, or someone is feeding their cat prunes!
