Hi,
its not just the urine that the cats do, but leaving turds as well,
and then
attempting to cover them up, which does really pong after a short while.
For the moment, I am trying a cure given in the link from Ophelia above.
That is
pushing in short (pea) sticks about every 8/10 inches in the "pooing"
areas along my
borders.
I'll give that a week or so, and then review the situation

I have already planted some Pyra..... something or other plants ( the ones
with
coloured berries and thorns), just last backend, so we'll see how they
work out

...cantha?

Let me know how the pea sticks work would you please?

Thanks for the information.
I would be interested to know where you bought your battery operated
scarer, as a
mains operated one is not raelly an option.


I got it from B&Q.

You sick minded, heartless individual. Why don't you advocate shooting dogs
for messing the footpath, or perhaps have a pop at the owners. Or shoot
birds in the garden because they mess on the car. Better still go and live
in another country where you can be really cruel to animals. The RSPCA have
a hard enough time without your sort advocating cruelty to animals.

Can I shoot the kids who keep breaking my fence, chucking stones through
my windows and knocking my water butts over?

Listen Dipstick. I own a dog, and very fond of it I am too. I also
clean up after her when taking her for walks. I ensure that she does
not crap in other peoples gardens or in public places. And if you cat
owners would do the same I would have no complaint. But unfortunately
you don't. You let your little horrors run wild crapping and ****ing
where ever they want without thought in your brains that your
neighbours might object.
And why? What gives a cat owner the right to act in this way? Why
should they not be constained in the way that any animal owner is.
As far as I am concerned cats can do what they want, when they want,
as long as it's not in my garden. When it is, they take their
chances!

No, but you do have recourse to the law, so take it. And in the
meantime keep your cat out of my garden!

Even though my next door neighbour is a policeman, it's highly uunlikely
that the law would take much action even if I had proof of who was
causing the damage.

Your assumption that I own a cat and your antagonistic manner are not
particularly helpful. Personally, I find dog-owners to be the major
cause of turds on the grass around my house.

Either the dogs are out unaccompanied, or the owners are not clearing up
after them. The dogs are merely doing what comes naturally.

Hi,
I know this question has been asked before, but I can't recall the
answers given.

On both borders, front and back, between my property and my next door
neighbour, cats
are using them as toilets.

I have tried a couple of types of pellets, can't remember what the names
are now, and
now I am trying water in clear plastic containers. That seemed to have
worked so so,
for a short while, but this evening I have found that it no longer stops
the cats
from doing thier bussiness.

Any other possible solutions?

The pellets you need are .22

And if anyone suggested doing this to dogs, or mentioned the effects on
other wildlife, like hedgehogs, you'd probably think they were cruel,
heartless and stupid.

Cats and dogs do what is natural for cats and dogs. It is humans who
seem to find this a problem. What about foxes or deer crapping in the
garden or ruining the plants?
