Can other gardeners tell me how to stop cat's using my garden as a "WC". Taking into account that I'm not a dog lover either, nor do I own a gun.

Thank's
Michael. (old git)

The method that works but people refuse to believe it is this... for several
weeks urinate in various parts of your garden. Oviously, not on your lawn
but.. it actually works... After a few weeks of doing this constantly the
cats will stop coming... The only problem is if you are a gal... If you are
of the female variety then you will have to find a nice man who is prepared
to let you have him sprinkle.

It is all to do with the fact that we are all animals and, whether we
believe it or not, the male of the species is pretty near the top of pecking
order and, as this was shown on one of those BBC wildlife programmes, a
Human male urinating is basically marking his territory. The cats gets the
message. Alas, female human urine does not work.

And when you project a stone, or whatever, it doesn't go anywhere near the
cat!

Don't make the soil in your garden into a friendly place for cats to take a
dump.

Use mulch and ground covers.

It's expensive, but have a look at www.scatmat.com . I bought a Scarecrow
to stop badgers, cats and herons and it certainly worked; the drawback is
that it gets me now and again when I forget to turn off the water!! I do
not use it all the time but at any sign of offenders returning I turn it on
and they soon learn to keep away.

I've found that a spray of water from a water pistol tends to put them off
after a few times. You can get long range ones from toy shops.

Interesting how the use of the apostrophe seems to be completely
reversing in this age - once it was used for possessives but not
plurals, now it appears to be the other way around.
