In this mornings Daily Mail a lady claims to have the ultimate deterrent
for
cats.

She sprays WD40 around the garden on bricks, walls and other hard
surfaces,
at regular intervals and claims that this keeps the cats away.

Hmm. What do you think really scares the cats? The WD40 or the mad woman
wandering round her garden spraying it at anything that moves?

I've heard that cats won't defacate on their own territory. Does this mean
that if I feed all the cats and am nice to them that they'll see my garden
as part of their territory and cr*p elsewhere?

Works with the stray who adopted me.
Doesn't work with the g/f's cat who moved in just after she did.

Lots of holly leaves on the ground soon deter pesky cats

Cats need to feel safe while defaecating (well, wouldn't you?). So
they're not going to defaecate on another cat's territory unless they
are large, dominant, and seeking to make a point.
