A question for cat lovers, or even cat haters.
How ON EARTH do I stop one of the local cats using my back garden as it's personal toilet????????
It doesn't bury it, just leaves it on the lawn. Cutting the grass I've disturbed one lot and trodden in two others. it's fukcing disgusting, stinks to high heaven, my trainers have had to be washed.
Before I do something lots of you won't like, any advice?
Because I WILL stop it..........
And please..........no stuff about lion ****..........

And your point is? There are many living things that we control with a little pain. Can't see how what I'm doing is any different to a farmer using a electric fence to stop pigs/cows/horses/sheep/etc. from escaping from their field. Few shocks and they soon learn not to do it again. Just an adjustment in behaviour

They'll also undoubtedly be curious about guns and stuff as they get older, I know I was, and I'll happily supervise them with air rifles and the likes to do some target practice as well as reducing the local wild rabbit population. Never did me any harm
I'd have a dog but as both the wife and I work 20 miles from home and away for 10 hours during the day it would not be fair to have one (see I do care about animals).
I love the bb gun idea, the real problem is the cat owners who just let the little ****s roam free, if a cat come into my garden there is a good chance it would be skinned alive.
Stupid owners need to learn to keep the damn things indoors, or get a lead and walk them when they need to ****e.

I don't actively involve my kids in discouraging the cats but when they're old enough to understand we'll discuss it with them. When we were growing up we had a dog to keep them out. If one were stupid enough to venture into the garden my brother and I were always keen to shout "cat" to the dog and open the back door so it could chase it off (assuming it was already trying to claw down the back door to get it anyway).

The law relating to the trespass of domestic animals is contained in the Animals Act 1971. However, cats enjoy a unique position as the Animals Act 1971 does not apply to them. A cat cannot, therefore, in law trespass. As a cat cannot trespass its owner cannot be legally responsible for what their cat does outside of their property.
You can try and sue your neighbour on the basis of a public nuisance, but there has been no recorded successful case of a public nuisance charge sticking when brought about a cat fouling a private garden.
So.... end of argument

I had this one cat that kept going in my garden, which was cool with me till one day it decided to rip my bbq cover up, well that has now changed things!! so the next time I saw the little s**t I threw a glass of water at it and that was the end of that as it never came back!

As someone said above, cats dislike strong smelling things......
Try squirting a bit of lemon juice around the garden and see if that works. Our cat kept clawing my new sofas, but ive given them a light spraying of lemon juice and it doesn't touch them now. Obviously you might need a bit more for a whole garden! but worth a shot....

I have the same problem. I've thrown raw garlic over the grass, sprayed it with lemon, and proper pet repellent. Bloody cats still sh1tting everywhere.
I'm tempted to do the Paracetamol in Gravy trick.

If you're a plastic shoe wearing veggie then good on you but I don't have a problem with being an omnivore and I'm happy to kill and eat my own pray where it is sensible to do so. Something that a large percentage of the meat eating public would not be able to do so I therefore feel I'm better in tune with the way the food chain works than most

Cats are bloody awful things. People think it's fine to kick 'em out when they need a dump and they wander off where they like and leave their **** for someone else to clear up.
As said, if I allowed my dog to take a crap in someone else's garden all hell would let loose.
Next door to me has 3 cats, two doors up the other way there's another, and a further two doors up there's another three. One of them got run over a few months back and lost a leg. Sad that.
Should have been its head.

I don't see why I should tolerate somebody else's idea of a pet dong its business in my garden. If I wanted cat crap in my garden I would have bought a ******* cat.
More of a dog personality than a cat! , she controls the dogs who just try and avoid her....if she gets in there beds they play dead

I've not read the whole thread so it's maybe been mentioned before but, buy a dog .
Actually you can buy a box that gives of an ultra sonic sound that you can't hear but will annoy the crap out of the cat , hmmm maybe not a good idea
