How to keep cats our of my garden?

[Amandasummers]

Are there any prevention methods? There's so many cats round here, I'm not moaning about neighbours keeping them in, they can't, that's fine, but they seem to prefer my garden to any of there bloody own and it's driving me absolutely round the bend!

Ive made a silly generalisation, really? By your logic, because your two cats are too lazy to chase birds, it follows that no other cat has ever crapped on a garden or killed wildlife? A bit of a silly generalisation, by you, no?

I've owned cats and had years worths of birds, rodents and even Koi Carp dragged through the cat flat. I wouldn't put my neighbours through that now.

I had this problem, they were doing it on my lawn and on the soil. They didnt bury it at all. I work from home so do catch them. I tried the noise machines they sauntered in front of them even lying down in front of one. I bought a supersoaker, got it twice. Only had 2 shits since. Though i have also got huge pebbles now instead of soil which they havent pooed on. I dont want to be cleaning up poo when i dont have an animal. It winds me up. I thought it was just me with the problem, chatted to the neighbour they had the same issue. They put chicken wire on their soil, cats dont like walking over it
