Hello out there. I am very new to all this so I hope someone can help
me. My cat keeps pooing and weeing on my lawn. Any ideas to stop him
doing it?

Some stuff I used on my lawn to deter the cats (until I built a raised
garden they then went and used) was camphor scented saw dust. You can
buy it
here (new zealand) and I imagine it is something you can get in Britain
from
a hardware store or a supermarket.

Well..your imagination has deceived you :-) Never seen or heard of it
(other than camphor balls for linen storage).

Every month or so it needed to be
renewed and more often furing rainy seasons.

All year round is the rainy season in the UK. For that reason, any
scent-deterrents only last a matter of days and have to be replaced very
often. This may be the reason why camphor scented sawdust is not
marketed here. :-0

It rains here as well, and rains and rains and rains. It also seems to sell
quite well.
