Help!cats using my garden as a loo (merged threads)

Hi, Our own cat (so cant complain too much) thought our graveled area was one big litter tray bless her. Not sure if anyone has already mentioned this. Anyway cover the area with white pepper - its so much cheaper to buy then garden centre products, and she has not been on there again since!

Hope it works for you, has for us, cheers.

I've managed to scare them off my lawn by water and running out whenever I see them. It is verr annoying. I have never let my kids C**p on my neighbours gardens.
Not only that these cats kill small birds as well
I my old house my elderly neighbour (sadly deceased) used a fantastic Idea. He also had an allotment.
He used to feed them Tuna fish!! laced with easily available paracetemol.
He told me that they just went home and died.
not sure if that was true but we never had too many problems with cats in my old house!!

Hmmm all round nice guy then.

Hope the old codger didn't kark it cos someone hid rat poison in his food, that would have been a shame

Ex Russin anti personnel mines can apparently be adapted down to 2kg or so to allow for the body weight of the tiniest little moggy, trouble is you need to tape up your windows, uummmm maybe not. Oh well back to the drawing board ; )

Garlic, chopped into small bits. Sprinkle round your garden and be rid of cats using the garden as a litter tray.

Dont spend a fortune on all these fancy things from pet stores, 29p for garlic and problem solved

If my dog crapped on my neighbour's garden they'd soon moan but it is fine for their cat to crap on mine. Cats are just domesticated vermin and should be subject to the same rules as other pests

I thought this was meant to be a sight full of useful tips and advice, not for ways of killing things in cold blood :eek: If he had done something similar to a human being who might have messed up his allotment, he'd be a murderer. Stop thinking you're better and more of a sentinent being than the animals around us.

Tip from an old mate. I went into a 50p and £1 shop, bought a cheap equivelent of 'Shake and Vac' for 50p, shook it into the grass. Didn't do the grass any harm, the garden smelled lovely, and all the cats that came into the garden sniffing about, sneezed like mad before leaving my garden, without leaving any little parcels!!!! Worth a try, though my neighbours thought I had gone crazy!!!!!!

I agree, but I'm surprised no-one has yet suggested using an air-gun!
