Hi,

I have a cat that comes into my front garden and poo's on either the
front lawn, or the front flower bed.

I think your best solution is to Google on the dozens of cat threads we have
had on urg! One person enjoys suggesting cruel and vicious remedies because
then he stirs up all the cat-lovers. Others introduce such a thread just to
get some form of trolling attention. But in amongst the dross and the
idiots are some personal experiences that might help you. I'd suggest a
water pistol or an always ready hose. But I believe there is now an
automated water jet that goes on when the cat strolls past it. Of course
you'd need to remember to turn it off before you take a turn round the
garden yourself!

Thanks for the tip Sacha, but we've already thought of that but the wife loves the birds coming into the garden and she thinks it might scare them away for good.
Also, it only seems to come into the garden in the night time. The garden is clear in the day and in the morning he has left me a little present.
otherwise yes, a soaker would seem the best solution. I'd love to think that one day I will soak the little bleeder!!!
I will try the mothballs though.
Thanks everyone again.
