    I am so annoyed.:(:(:(:(

    We got new neighbours a couple of weeks ago, they have 2 cats.

    I like cats but I object to having to shift someone else's cats pooh from all over my lawn.

    My son mowed out front garden last week and had to shift 5 lots of cat pooh, he thought it was the next door neighbours cats as we have never, ever, had this problem before.

    Well just before my son looked out the window to see their cat pooing on my back garden lawn, so now we know for sure as he saw one of them doing it.

    Their cats keep coming in my garden, we have seen them in my back garden at least half a dozen times today and now we know why, its their new flipping toilet........:(:(


    Does anyone have any good ideas on how to keep them out of the garden.

    before I go, thought I give you my advise. you know the 19p ground pepper from the filler - now you can make use of it.

    Spread all over your garden where they have been. If not use chilli flakes or powders that will stop any cats coming to your garden.

    Thanks hun but I would need about 1000 packets of pepper if not more:(:(.

    They sh*t 5 times on my front lawn and at least once on the back garden. :mad:We have seen them sat on the fences around my garden, walking in my borders, sat on my pergola, sat on my bins, lying under the car. Just about everywhere in both gardens and driveway. I bet they spend more time in my garden that their own.

    Will check out chilli flakes though.


    Just a thought, will the pepper and chilli flakes hurt my birds, squirrels and frogs. Wouldn't want to hurt my wildlife.

    Black pepper really does work. What about just putting it down where they come through? Other things I have found that works is lemons. Again would only really work in the gaps.

    Me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Thanks for trying hun, but have you read some of the cat repellent methods, some are very ott.:rotfl:like hanging tesco plastic carrier bags around your fence. :rotfl:

    tbh no one had an iron clad solution, so for now I have announced that all pooh must be returned to its rightful owner and thrown back over the fence. :rotfl:.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Will try the pepper though etc, but I really hope it doesn;t hurt any of the wildlife. We get a lot of wild birds here, and bats, squirrels, even a kestrel has been known to visit my garden, oh, and once a pheasant visited for a while. We have a pond with frogs in so really don't want to hurt them.

    Just realised something though.:(The squirrels used to visit every morning and I haven't seen them for at least a week. I just hope they haven't been scared off by the cats.

    We only have 4 foot fences around the gardens, thats nothing to a cat, they can get in so easily so nothing to stop them getting in.:(:(:(:(:(

    What about this?

    The other idea I had was collecting the poop and throwing it back in the neighbours garden;). That doesnt really help I know:p. Oops you beat me

    or leaving the poop in your garden for weeks on end until the cats move on elsewhere and look for a clean garden;)

    What do you reckon?
