Cats !!!!!!!

[AMcC]

We have pestered recently with a cat or cats using our front lawn as a toilet. Strangely they don't bother with the back garden.

Does anyone know of the best way to keep them from doing this ?? :angry: Humane answers only please, but anything less than legal can be sent by pm

There are ultrasonic and water spraying deterrents available, but these are normally for gardens - and you stated 'lawn'.

Easiest way is to get your own cat - and neuter it!

Probably less messy to let a vet do it.

:rofl:

Indeed!

Though that doesn't guarantee a lack of mess!

I bet they do - just not while you are around/awake!

Clear round plastic 2ltr bottles [lemonade etc] filled with water and left lying around in the beds/shrubs seems to work very well.
About 3 for a normal front garden.



Please do not ask for an explanation as a dinae ken. Mirror/reflection maybe.

No more cat poo in the garden so me thinks it has worked.

That actually really bugs me about cats, dog owners these days clear up after their animal, cats just do it where they want..annoys me.

You could just tarmac the front, more space for cars, no maintenance of having to mow anymore and no cat mess, everyone's a winner.

Cats are vermin,evil things. Black widow & a few bbs should do the job :thup:

 

[John_R7]

Old CD's are meant to do the trick, ABBA and the like :lol:.
Just kidding, you don't play them. Throw them on the ground or dangle from a string. It is supposed to be the same as the water bottle thing.
Have reports of both these not working though, think it might depend on the cats in question. Worth a try though.

Old fashioned mothballs do the trick, apparently the camphor smell deters them.

 

[In_The_Rough]

Bucket of water will do the trick:thup:

I have a big Labrador but that does not stop next doors cat picking off our wild birds......no cat phoo though.

Did they not say that lions phoo does the trick.

We tend to put cat pepper or cat gel down (available at Wyevales etc)

thats a wind up, right? a UK cat knows what Lion dung smells like think they are 'selling' to people that think "yes, that makes sense, I'll buy some" :rofl:

Lion poo works as my father in law hates cats and uses it his garden to good effect.
