stop cats crapping in my garden

Get a great big rubber snake - works round these parts

Hi, you could always try this.

Dice the peel of a caouple of oranges, mix with garlic grandules and black pepper and sprinkle around your garden.

It works every time for me and only needs repeating every few months.

Good luck!

I don't know why society is so tolerant of cat owners. We have our priorities wrong. Cats are not 'natural' occupants of our housing areas are they, or even the UK in general apart from a few wild cats? They are bred and introduced to provide pleasure, presumably, for one group and misery for another. I can think of hobbies which are banned because they would inconvenience the neighbours. I wish we were allowed to shoot cats with an air rifle or trap them like rats.

It's no joke when you spend a lot of time and money on gardening, only to have it ruined by vermin. If a Leylandi causes a bit of damage for the neighbour, they could claim damages but not if their cat urinates over your garden lawn and causes dead patches.

Nah mate - the only VERMIN (learn to spell) in this planet is man....
and you're a shining example of one!

If cats could use a toilet they would, but apart from litter trays it's physically impossible. They do nothing different to any other animal on this planet.
Even humans crap and wee where they shouldn't - the difference is we have options and we can control it.

You must be really a really unpopular person. In fact, you're a BIGGER problem than cat poo - and smellier.



Glad I don't live next door to you.



And let's hope your behaviour depicted in your message is just words and not actions.

I know cat poo is a pest - just like that old lady who lets her dog crap right outside my gate every morning!

A water pistol works a treat. Forget squeezy bottles - get a super soaker! Every time the 'offender' appears then a quick blast should get rid of them and they'll soon realise as soon as the pistol appears, it's time to go!

The pistol has the edge because the air pump makes the water force stronger and also the noise scares them off.
Trust me - it works!

Are you saying that my neighbours and I can collect all of the cat crap in our gardens and dump it all over your lawn? I am getting to the stage where, if I find another of these smelly obnoxious creatures crapping in my garden, I will smear it with its own excrement and let it take it back to its selfish owner. I may even just bury it and forget it. If it’s a jungle out there, then survival of the fittest. Let’s get rid of ALL cats.

how does this make the cat owners selfish ?

Mr_Meldrew

Selfish because they keep an animal that they know will leave a mess in anyone's garden but their own. I assume cat owners would not object to the local dogs crapping in their gardens.

I Do get cat and dog crap in my garden but I don't sit there bitching about it, I just deal with it.
Fact of life - !!!!!! happens! (ha ha ha ha)
You'll always get ignorant dog owners (not quite as ignorant as you mind).


If you LEAVE A CAT ALONE it will always bury what it's done and the smell goes very quickly.
What choice does a cat have? We can use toilets, dogs have owners who (sometimes) pick up after them, cats used to have fields where they could go but now most things are concrete.

Don't tell me that your sh*t doesn't stink! Every time I go to look at the beautiful lake down the road I'm greeted with the stench of human waste they pump into it!

Do you start moaning if a bird craps on your window or car? Bet you do. In fact, you probably sit at the window all day just to see if there are any cats you can harass, you bully.
If a big, beefy bloke was curling one in your garden would you confront him? Bet you wouldn't. You'd rather pick on a cat who has no choice and can't defend itself. Pathetic!

My cat has a box which he uses regardless of whether he goes out and I can hardly follow my cat round with a scoop can I?!!!!

You're just a nasty old man who wants to justify his motives - not like these people who just want some suggestions on how to deter cats.

Here's an afterthought for you:

An old man just like yourself a few miles from here threw a stone at a cat and broke the cats leg.
The owner knew who had done this and returned the favour!

I tend to agree with Mr Meldrew.
I am sick and tired of having to do a "cat crap search" every time I open the back door in case the kids go near it.
I have tried all the tips posted here before and none of them have worked. Cat deterrent machine is ok, but does not cover the whole of my garden and the noise is irritating.
The one thats worked best for me is a bucket of water chucked at the cat if youre quick enough. And Ill make sure the water is extra cold this winter. Meeeooow ;D
