This is the same as saying you are responsible for crime because you own
items worth stealing.

If cat owners cannot control their pets then they are not fit to own
them. The owners should provide areas for their own pets to shit or keep
them locked up and under control.

Mel, where people, below, suggest things to spread around, start with
spreading them only along your boundaries. You may succeed in causing
cats to decide not to bother entering your property . . . and they
therefore may not discover your many luxury toilet-beds.

Brilliant!!! I do appreciate people with a sense of humour.

And thanks to everyone who has offered suggestions. I will work through them
all starting with the cheapest first (tightwad).

The recent development to the rear of my property has resulted in a great
increase in the number of cats around - and they all seem to head for mine.
Maybe Dave sent them?

I had a cat doing his business on my front lawn every night but after
the above remedy it's been clear for 5 weeks now.

VERY VERY dilute though, eh, or Mel will kill or harm everything it
comes into contact with.

Very dilute works

Are you trying to put the idea into my mind to spray the cats with neat
Jeyes fluid?

Dave won't like that....

Not at all - although if you leave valuable items in full view with an open window I think you can be said to be lacking in common sense.

What are you doing about all the birds, the foxes, the hedgehogs, the rats and mice, and the squirrels, not to mention the millions of insects inhabiting your patch? None are exactly particular about where they deposit stuff. Perhaps you don't have any of these pests.

Just had a thought about all the suggestions about putting stuff down -
Jeyes, mothballs, etc.

Wouldn't these also impact on wildlife such as hedgehogs? I have a few who
use my drive and garden as part of their foraging route. I would assume
their sense of smell is pretty well developed. I wouldn't like to upset them
in an effort to deter the cats.

No Dave. It's not the hedgehogs cr**ing in the garden. While I am no s**t
connoisseur... I can tell the difference.

Cats don't have owners. They have attendants.

This is the kind of excuse made by irresponsible pet owner to justify
their antisocial behaviour.

Cats control their the owners.


Then perhaps the cats should instruct their owners to clean up the shit.

Alan is sadly unaware of the noble cat and its ancient lineage.

Come on, man, you are obsessing about this, surely. What's the problem
with a bit of cat shit in the garden? Or even three or four new little
turds every day?

Ok. You've arrived. When are the other two or three due?
