Help; my garden has become a cat toilet.

[SC7]

A fresh fking pile every fking morning without fail, and I'm getting really fking sick of the dirty little bds.

When the weather is better my little lad will be playing football out there, and I'm not into the idea of getting caked in cat toffee.

Aside from staking out the garden and kicking the little into next week, what can I do?

It has to be a cat because there's nowhere a dog can get in.

Help!

This stuff works

Used it when a cat/some cats started using the parking spaces behind my house as their toilet.

Also, my standard reply, supersoaker filled with weak lemon squash. Cat's hate citrus, and wont much like licking it out of their fur. Any cat you douse won't come back in a hurry.

Also there are IR water sprinklers available.

you have my sympathy...a friend of mine had the same problem for a while
then the cat in question disappeared

problem solved

Cats tend to bury their crap, if it's left in obvious places like some sort of trophy, it's probably a fox.

Cheers for the replies.

About the only option so far are those crystals, since I've never actually seen the cat in the garden So a water pistol or a kick in the chops are going to be difficult.

I wouldn't have thought it could be a fox given the area we're in - There are loads of woodland areas and fields around, why my fking garden?!

Infra red sprinkler would be your best bet then. If its happening at night just rig one up on a timer to come on overnight. Stick a webcam in the window and record the inevitable hilarity.

don't you believe it! my friend watched his garden for a couple of nights and caught the cat it in the act....it used to hop over his fence walk to the middle of the garden lawn (setting off the IR light) then do its business as bold as you like

My parents have had good success with the ultrasonic deterrents.

Get your own cat. Then you only have one load of cat toffee (good phrase) per day instead of six, and as said it is usually buried.

Air Rifle?

-edit-

Obviously not to shoot at them, that's quite illegal. But shooting near them would certainly scare the st out of them...

Hang on, that's not quite right.

Send the owner a letter.

Get a fox......

[mattdaniels]

Lion dung peletts, also known as "Silent Roar" do the trick.

Do you have a security light? First a leter explaning your anoyance and then...... http://thumbsnap.com/i/U6UORTOl.jpg

Get your own cat. Other cats won't then crap in your garden and yours will crap in someone elses garden. Sit back ans wait for your letter from annoyed neighbour with security light.

Fill a clear 2 litre coke bottle with water and place it near where the cat is pooing. Cats don't like seeing their reflections or lights, it worked for me in my old house.

Odd, my cat will happily sit there looking at himself in a mirror. Vain bd.

[stuttgartmetal]

Get yourself one of these.

Furry molegrips.

They love cats, love em to bits.

Several bloody bits in fact.

Word will soon spread in cat world about him, and the killing fields, for sure.
