But in amongst the dross and the idiots are some personal experiences that might help you. I'd suggest a water pistol or an always ready hose. But I believe there is now an automated water jet that goes on when the cat strolls past it. Of course you'd need to remember to turn it off before you take a turn round the garden yourself! Cats are bone idle. They even crap in their own gardens if the weather is bad. What they can't resist is freshly turned soil so, if you're prepared to maintain a small patch of soft crumbly soil, it can save the other parts of the garden. Who knows, it might even be a good fertiliser I doubt it is a good fertilizer. I have four cats and I know two of them crap in their own garden. one of them does her business right on top of a magnolia bush. so far this year, although it has buds it has not produced any flowers. |

Who knows, it might even be a good fertiliser Well there's a patch outside our garden wall which is strictly the Council's responsibility but they take none so most householders plant the strips themselves. I have a lot of small bulbs and recently a local cat has dug them up. I re-plant and they dig them up again - I've seen it happen a few times recently. So at least one of our local cats seems to be happy with freshly turned earth. The whole strip has been turned every few days anyway (by me) to rid persistent weedlings. Mary |
