What is the best way of stopping cats sh*tting in my garden? I've

I'm looking at these ultrasonic devices, are any of them worth the
money? I'm not quite ready to go down the airgun route yet!

Ignoring the fact for a moment that you could just be one of those
pathetic sad little trolls that needs to get a life.

Our last allotment had a neighbour with 27 cats and we had the nearest
cultivated soil. What's your problem? We made friends with a number
of the cats because the alternatives are Rats and Mice as proved on
our new allotment where there are no cats. Rat pee is infinitely more
dangerous to life than cat poo and mice do a hell of a lot of damage.

No, I'm not a troll. You'll just have to take my word for that.

My main issue is their poop (i have nothing against cats apart from this).
I don't like cleaning it up every time I wish to mow my lawn.


I have mixed feelings on the subject. Like Bob, we have neighbouring cats on
the allotment, and they do kill lots of mice, especially one who is a prime
alpha male, comes out of his garden, across the allotment totally ignoring
me, and within a couple of minutes he's back with something in his mouth.
Sometimes they leave us the bodies as evidence.

At home on the other hand, they just dig up the seedlings and dump on them.
I feel totally different about those ones. I don't want to harm them, but I
can understand it driving people to it. I have used the super soaker method,
but you can't be there all the time, and I'm too tight to buy an ultrasonic
device, which would probably get nicked round here anyway. Nowadays I just
give them a hard time when I catch them at it, and try not to stress too
much about the rest.
