| Help..........cat poo!!
Posted: 5/5/2008 9:50:22 AM | I've just dug over my garden & re-designed it all & put bark down covering half of it (quite a big area), you know the child friendly play bark they have in parks etc.
Well as much as it looks fab out there now there are millions of cats around here & I really don't want them using it as a giant toilet!
Does anyone know of any powder or something that I can put down that would deter them? Any plants, spray........anything!!!!!!! | |

Ha Ha ! Fat chance! Cats don't just think that they rule the world, they think that they own it; it is theirs to do as they see fit! Just rename your garden "The Litter Tray!"

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:03:42 AM | ive the same playbark stuff, and found something called get off, it comes in green bottles and is like a jelly crystal stuff, it does work, cats keep off but it does need reapplying every few months, theres nowt worse than your 2 yr old coming in after playing in your own pet free garden stinkin of cat poo! | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:13:47 AM | | Hungry terrier, german shepard, rotti or doberman would be my best bit of advice to keep your garden cat-free. | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:22:42 AM | Just to clarify, the OP has cats herself so is probably not going to go down the blowing them up route! Besides cleaning up that mess would be far worse than the poo.
Umm, yeah not sure there is anything guaranteed to keep them off t but I can't imagine they'd be that keen, it's a bit rough and hard to dig (although my precious won't even dig, get her nails dirty? You have to be joking!).
The water pistol idea is the best, you're not hurting them and it's damned effective. | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:25:38 AM | ^^^^^yes I've got 2 cats although I don't want them on it either! I want to sunbathe & have bbq parties without having to dodge cat poo haha
Fairy-godmother....thankyou...I've just looked it up on amazon & just ordered it, definately worth a try.

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:25:45 AM | Nope ive tried the water pistol thing.Doesnt work anymore the cats just turn and laugh at you!!
I reckon the only way forward is a cat ASBO and electronic tagging,failing that i think pet shops do some sort of citrus spray thats meant to be affective | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 10:33:17 AM | | I tried something similar to that Get Off and the smell was horrendous.... I couldn't go out at all for ages ... I tried the lemon too .. Seems to have limited success ... My dog only works when he is out ... Let us know if you find anything ... | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 3:49:15 AM | So far as I am aware there is only ONE thing which is guaranteed to keep cats out of your garden.
Brace yourself, it's weird....
Lion poo!
Go to your local Wildlife Park, and ask for a bag of it (at Longleat they sell it for £1 a carrier bag, for this exact purpose) and put a little of it around the perimeter of the area you want to keep shyte free. Voila! The big cat smell will scare off the small pooing cats. | |

Ask them to lend you a lion that is sure to keep the cats away mind you I'm sure lions do much bigger dumps than your average puddy cat. I have seen the ultrasonic deterents at a friends house but he had only just got it so I haven't been back to ask if it actually worked. | |

Also have a work with a zoo and see if you can get some big cat/lion poo put that in your garden the ats will smell it a mile off and think "fookin ell that's a massive cat that lives there, I'm getting outta here!"
My dad once put some cat food on a metal bowl wired to a trip switch and a car battery.
I was kept awake all night by screaching.
The cats didn't come back. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 6:25:24 AM | | Putting down some poo to stop poo, novel idea, to me sounds like it could just become a very pooey situation. Wouldnt recommend putting cat food in a metal bowl though, you probably would get arrested lol. | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 6:30:35 AM | | How come I dont get this problem? My cat wont shit anywhere other than her litter tray (luckily), and never in the garden. And we've always got other peoples cats getting in our garden, and they dont shit here either. hehe maybe we have posh cats where I live? | |
|
| Help..........cat poo!!
Posted: 5/6/2008 8:40:41 AM | Yeah I was told once that generaly cats only poo in gardens where other cats don't live.
It was along time ago when my dad did that and I should have said the old "Do not try this at home folks" And he didn't care what trouble he got in after all it was his land etc etc.
But I did grant peeps with some intelligence to work that out for themselves (more than mine anyhow!lol)
