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

teedy23

Thanks for this thread, I,ve been laughing like a drain.Now while I know it,s a pest, I,d rather have a cat !!!!!!!! in the garden (weird these cats dont want to bury it) than a Great Dane !!!!!!!! in the street.

heh at the filters!
I'm amused it still shows in the overview.
they're easy to get round anyway if you know how (as demonstrated)!

On a more serious note my mum's having the same problem with cats shitting on her flower garden, so I'll be interested to see if anyone can report back anything working.

I can't stand cats for this very reason. They are disgusting little bags of fur who never crap in their owner's gardens. When the neighbours cats come into my garden it's usually our dog which spots them from the window first. I then slowly open the outside door and watch the action. Don't worry, our dog wouldn't know what to do if it did catch a cat - it's a good chase though. Failing this, I find a catapult often works a treat.

what i find disgusting is the piles of dog crap all over the pavement. The poor unfortunate peeps that then have an even more disgusting job of cleaning it off there shoes. At least cats bury there !!!!!....unlike dogs.

However turds on the pavement are preventable as this is down to the dog owner being a lazy git.
There is no owner who can stop their disgusting furbag moggy doing it's business anywhere. And they don't bury it as much as you think, as my mum will testify to as she has to clear the damn stuff everyday.

Let me point out I hate both cats and dogs, and clean up after my rabbits properly. but then again they don't nip off into others gardens for a dump...

Thanked for the main reason that you are a clever so-in so who got around the filters and managed to use the word !!!!!!!!!

OP, My friend swears by putting eucaliptus (sp?) oil on old tea bags and throwing them round the plants, alongside orange peel and masses of ground white pepper.

I find having two Springer Spaniels tends to get rid of the cats, however they do bring a whole new level of !!!! to deal with :D:D

Yeah, my neighbour used to do this too - against my front door, bin, cars, in the middle of the path or doorstep. I would come home from work and find it. It could have been any one of the 15 or so cats that used to visit the area but I was nearest with a cat so it HAD to be mine and I bore the brunt of getting it chucked into my garden. I was pregnant at the time and also, my elderly cat was not even able to get into her garden to poop as she was unable to get over/under gates or fences. I called the council and the police to record what had happened and they both informed me they could have them done for harrassment. I sent a strongly worded letter instead and have had no problems ever since and they have spoken to us fine since them. I also bought them some 'get off my garden' as a goodwill gesture and in saying they should try it.

Remember, cats stray a long way so it might not even be your neighbours cats poop. We have cats that come from god knows where as they are not local, toms will stray for miles in search of females - and as most owners get them done now they have further to walk, LOL!! But, you can get in trouble for doing that so you might want to bear this in mind before you start chucking it 'back' and get on the wrong side of your neighbours. It'll look good if trying to sell your house in that you had a dispute over you throwing cat poop at your neighbours house!

Oh yes, I did catch my neighbour 'in the act' though.

Absolutely, lots of fair points.

I'm not making excuses, I know I shouldn't do it but when my 2.5yo DD plays in the garden I have to go round looking to see if it's safe for her to play out or if I have to remove the poop first. It is very frustrating. I had to move it when I was pregnant, not good. For the record I always fling it towards her compost heap and not at her windows or door etc, not that I'm condoning it. It ain't big or clever but it ain't my s***

If you or a freind has any roses,keep the prunings and place them around the garden where the cat goes.As for sonic devices if you or your neibours have sensitive hearing, forget them,myself and then teenage sons could'nt go in the garden because of our next door neibour having one.Councils now put them up to stop crowds congregating.

Don't even get me started on this one:mad: cleared my forecourt of loads of dollops yesterday as have been ill & unable to do the every other day clear up! & by the time I put the bin out in the evening there was another dollop!
Filthy stinking animals also poo in my back garden, did a hunt yesterday, but still managed to mow some up whilst doing the lawn - disgusting.
My next door neighbours, however probably wouldn't care if I did throw it back over as they leave thier dog crap hanging around in thier garden for days anyway, I've seen thier dog !!!! his leg up on their garden chairs, & them sit on them later urrggh, Surrounded by skanks & crap!
Anyone wanna buy my house:rotfl:
P.S Used to have a Tom that peed up my front door all the time- think it's dead now as hasn't for ages, did stop it with chilli powder around the doorstep, but looks a bit strange orange stuff around your door.
