Default OK, all you cat people...........

........how can Joe Public stop YOUR pet from fouling in his garden?

I have three doing so at the moment, and trust me, I WILL stop them. There is cat-crap all over and no, the dirty animals do NOT bury it.

I'd like a nice cat-friendly way first please.

Have you tried one of those plug in cat deterrent things?

Neighbour of mine had one, she seemed to have good results from it.

Our cat was crapping down the side of next door's house in the gravel bit (fortunately we are very good friends, so it wasn't a problem), so we put a load of orange peel down there (though I believe any citrus peel will do), and it stopped immediately.


Unusual for them to do it out in the open though, so it may be difficult to cover your lawn in peel! But it they are keeping to the borders, should be too difficult.


Failing that, a gun

Get an old wall brick. Put some pepper on it, the cat will sniff it, sneeze and knock itself out when it's head hits the brick!!

A few rubber snakes might do the job, failing that claymores facing towards the boundaries so you don't accidentally kill yourself

I've got some razor wire on order to be delivered tomorrow (with any luck) from these guys: http://www.birminghambarbedtape.co.uk/

Not to keep the cats out (I wish my problems were that trivial), but it will do that as a secondary benefit.

One has taken to using the one planter as a litter tray and making a mess over teh patio (caught on CCTV).

Of course what I'd like to do is trap it, so I can read its ID tag (assuming it has one ...should be law ) And post the feaces to the owner with a covering letter kindly asking for them to dispose of it.

Are you living in some de-militarised zone? Or Slough?

No. Yam Yam land. Its getting like that though.

I have a £5000 insurance excess for contents AND damage. So its a necessity to protect the home from further damage, as its going to come straight out of my pocket.

Sadly after the last attempt, I need a visble deterrant to tell them to f**k off and rob somewhere else instead.

An airsoft gun won't stop it from happening when you're not in but it will give u major satisfaction.
I can recommend an m4 fully auto with a lipo battery upgrade and premium bb's. Mate shot me from about 50feet and it broke the skin

The pepper and citrus peel have always worked on my cats. They now seem to like the tall cooch grass at the back of the garden out of sight from anyone.

I had a Siamese years ago that we trained to use the toilet. We place the litter tray next to the toilet and slowly raised it up using books. Eventually moved the tray over the sh#tter. We removed the tray completely after a few weeks and blow me down she used the bog. She only fell in once.

Yeah but the week before we were at a house party and he fell asleep so I sprayed a full tin of air freshener on his head and set it on fire. Not the best idea I know but when I was pissed out of it there wasn't a better idea in the world and my acumpleses thought the same.

Any links? I found an M4, but wasn't sure of the battery upgrade? What does that do?

I already have an air rifle, but it might be (over) kill.

Ahah, lol - I genuinely laughed at that


But seriously we have a similar problem - neighbours cat bullies our little one - so much that we have had to put a cat litter tray in our house, despite having a huge fvcking garden

The neighbours cat is a big cvntish bully


Glad someone has got in the Lion Dung - saved me from posting it !!!!!


I have thought of catching the bstard and soaking, and I mean really really soaking it in a bucket of water - heard that works

The t0ssers called Ravi - so anyone is welcome to have a pop if they come across it


Someone said to urinate on the borders - but that sounds a bit weird, plus we have a big border to defend so could take years and leave me open to accusations of being a pervert

Increases the firing rate 'cus Lipo batteries can deliver more current faster.
