When this problem came up "Yet again" on uk.rec.gardening
One very good idea was to put in a small sand pit/box about 3 or 4 ft
square for the cats to use, they will go to it rather than the soil as
long as it is kept clean.
You could suggest this to your neighbour, otherwise put on in in your
garden where the cats will find it easily,

and gradually move the box closer and closer to the offices of your
local animal control agency :-)

whilst you will still have
mess to clear, it will be in one place and they wont be damaging the
rest of the garden.


i've heard of ant lions that build funnel traps in sandy soil. are there
also cat lions? :-)
