Now how do I keep the cats from using the boxes as their private
toilet? I stuck some sticks in the boxes and will see how that does.
Any other ideas?

motion detector attached to sprinkler.

chicken wire around and over.

electric fence.

catnip powder mixed in/sprinkled on something
greasy that they'll get on their feet and start
licking. they'll forget about going potty and
become a source of instant entertainment.

Thanks for the response. Think we are going to do chicken wire but I
love the suggestion about the catnip.

I put my chicken wire flat on the garden beds. It discourages raccoons
from digging through the mulch for worms. It would probably work for
cats too, except for the Alpha cat that will poop without burying.

Raccoons are pretty easy to handle, especially if you have a pet dog. Just let it guard outside at night. you can also try to turn on a talk show on the radio and leave it outside. Raccoons are sneaky animals, so they will probably shy off when they heard human voices.
