cat problems, again
 

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?

Thanks

I have my own cat, a sabre-toothed kitten. He won't use my garden as a
toilet and neither can any other cats.

I can't say that I've tried it (yet), but I did hear that, cats being
territorial animals,
and scentmarking being a big thing in the catworld, that pi**ing in all the
places that
the cat likes to p**s puts them off. Ladies, as well as being at a slight
disadvantage
as to scentmarking your borders compared to men, it is alleged that
testosterone
in the urine is a key deterrent component so it may not be worth the effort
on your part.
Urine is supposed to be a good accelerant for the compost heap too, all that
nitrogen in the urea.
Otherwise, it's sticks pushed into the ground at close intervals,
brushwood, sticks and thorns
laid on the ground, with a scattering of orange peel for good measure.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my cats,as my previous posts here, but if there
is one thing I hate is digging up cat P** when I go to plant out or weed. I
have a few Coleus Canina :

I have effectively solved my cat problem, or so it would appear. I
have a very small rear garden that is surrounded by cat owning
house-owners who couldn't give a damn what pussy does in other
people's gardens. I purchased an electronic cat scarer that detects
movement at about 8" height and floods the area with ultra sonic
sounds. I bought it two weeks ago, and touch wood, not a sight or
sound or cat "turd" to be seen. That, plus my discouraging the little
b------s by jetting water at them when seen by day, seems to have done
the trick. It cost £40 plus a mains adaptor £12 and is worth every
penny.
There was an interesting article in the Daily Telegraph the other day
about cats. I was interested to read that it is not against the law
to shoot them, but of course the RSPCA would undoubtedly sue you for
cruelty to an animal. I wonder how the defence of claiming that you
were putting the little sods out of their misery would go down in
Court. Or maybe that you were protecting your property from nuisance
and destruction. It certainly is time that the law with regard to
cats was up-dated. They are an animal that can exist happily
permamently indoors, and there is no need to allow them out. I'm sure
that it is just that the owners would rather that their neighbours
dispose of the resulting mess and not the cat owners. The bird
population would undoubtedly increase if they were kept indoors.

I've found, like Peter James, that an electronic cat scarer seems to
work, though I have the battery-operated kind. I also had great fun in
choosing a water pistol from my local Argos - they are so much more
impressive than what I remember when I was a lad, many appearing to be
like pump-action shotguns! The water pistol has been of great use in
getting a cat that was in a tree waiting for nesting blue-tits to come
within claw-tip of it. (I inherited the bird box when I moved in
earlier, and will have to move it at some point, I can see.)

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

Thanks

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!

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.

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?

My neighbours don't claim to keep any of those 2, 3, 4 or 5 at a time so
I don't have that problem.

To the poster who does have the cat problem, carpet gripper strips along
the bottom of gates and along the tops of walls fences and gates does
deter.

and as someone else has informed me, cat tastes like rabbit and is eaten
a lot in Malta. Perhaps we should start putting some recipes up.

cat problems, again
 

Ah! But did you know that a microchipped cat is deemed to be owned (like a
dog) - therefore if you were to shoot it it would be like shooting the
neighbours dog & you'd probably be prosecuted.

"Mike" wrote in There was an interesting
article in the Daily Telegraph the other day
about cats. I was interested to read that it is not against the law
to shoot them,

I read that there is a case to deem them as vermin and that you can
shoot them.

So therefore the owner could be traced?

If so, the crap the cat left could be posted back to them?

If they own the cat, they won the crap.

We've just had a Barbie with the family. We had Steak, Chicken, Sausage,
Bacon, Burghers etc and I remarked that if a cat came through, we could
have 'rabbit'.

None came :-(

They will come back when we are not their and crap all over the place
;-((

Wonderful 'Domesticated' animals :-((

Any other possible solutions?

The pellets you need are .22




Nice one:-)

I do have another possible cure, but that is also not
legal........asprins in milk

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?

Children, rats, moles
pidgeons, geese, magpies
jetisoned fuel - not to mention the noise
slugs, snails and all manner of slimy things
bugs, beetles, fleas and flies (sp?)
neighbours, councils, governments
.... the list is endless if you dwell on it, so don't - just get out there
for the joy of it.

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?
