you could always dig out the crap
and return it to them, in a little bag. I'm sure they'd be only too
happy to arrange disposal of their pet's faeces.


Yeah right! What planet do you live in.

Just to say I like cats *and* gardening. Our own cat unfortunately had a
leg amputated 18 months ago due to a tumour and is now confined to our
garden as he can't climb the high fences. Despite the fact he now uses
'ensuite' facilities at home, he is worth the problems of ----.

Regards, Aileen (also a Howard - by marriage only)

Any ideas for stopping cats using not all but a particular part of my
garden?

Put down shingle in that part of the garden? Not the small pea-shingle but
decent sized beach shingle. I've got that in half my garden and have no cats
using it as a loo. However, they will probably still walk/lie on it?

Do you want to stop them completely from that area of garden or just stop
them from digging in that area?

Best,

As others have suggested, thorny prunings work. I've used
gooseberry prunings with success when my own cats were aiming
badly, so to speak.

Another good method involves that low ornamental wire fencing
(really edging) that comes in sections about a foot or so long.
If you push these in at an appropriate spacing, you create an
obstacle course. Kitty, being a lazy sort, will desist. This is a
good method if animals are beating a path where you don't want
one.

If this fencing is allowed to go nicely rusty, it is nearly
invisible; it's how I keep my own cats out of the patch of Crocus
nudiflorus.
