Yes, I use cones collected from conifers over the winter, They look nice but
make it too uncomfortable for the cat

Keep it wet. Preferably with a high pressure water hose from the Fire
Brigade and blast them into the nearest river :-(

Seriously, it will help to keep the vermin away if you keep the soil
moist. (Won't do the plants any harm:-))

The stick idea works. I've done it in a container newly placed this year
right in the path of oncoming & outgoing cats between here & next door.
They don't even bother trying to go via the table it's on any more ...
just take a flying leap from ground to wall.

I can second that, we use old pea sticks cut from an old hedge, and just
spread them over the ground with a few canes pushed through to stop them
being moved. Works well.

I don't know if anyone's suggested this idea before - but it occurs to
me that cats prefer to crap in something comfortable, rather than the
scrotty stuff we shove out plants into.
Would they not find a trough of dry sand more appealing?

If the cats aren't yours, and depending on your relationship with the
owner, it might even be possible to site the kitty-loo in the owner's
garden.
A simple roof could be attached to keep the sand dry.

Should you have to site the kitty-loo in your own garden, and assuming
you know who owns the culprit moggy, 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.

Regards,

OK joking apart. If you have a small contained garden like mine, then
an electronic cat scarer works a treat. I have installed one and
haven't seen any sign of a cat for a month now. My garden is small,
surrounded by a wooden fence and when I say samll, I'm talking about 4
metres by 6 metres. Maybe not so effective in a large garden?

Likely to kick them out the way. I just stick canes in the ground, that
works fine.
