cat poo in garden

[ac123]

got it sussed. sprinkle a jar of schwartz ceyenne and chilli pepper over lawn or garden, it works. been poo free for a couple of months now.

I will be trying that and i hope it works OP especially after ds (4) came to me yesterday after playing in the garden saying 'i didn't know we were growing peanuts mummy, ive dug them up for you, here they are' and proudly gave me a handful of cat poo...........

um, how do you stop the cayenne and chilli pepper getting on your children?

ariane i would recommend you buy the elctronic one rather than the pepper as you have lo that will be playing in garden,you wouldnt want her getting it on her and rubber her eyes etc.

ohhhh tabs!hello!!!!!(r u same tabs from ebay)

"Some funny logic going on here."

There certainly is.

I think my cats right to fresh air and exercise is more important than peoples dislike of picking cat shit out of their garden.

Wrong. Since you don't have to own a cat you are saying that your right to own one is more important than peoples dislike of picking cat shit out of their garden.

So it's not about the rights/needs of cats but about pet owners wanting something and selfishly not caring about the effect on others.

you dont own a cat a cat owns you,and i think thats how the law sees it too

i tried an electronic deterrent as have a big problem with foxes and cats pooing in my garden but it doesnt seem to bother them at all? i dont have anything against cats (think they are lovely but im seriously allergic ) but we have one that visits the garden most days digs up half the plants, bites the flowers off, tramples everything and poos and sprays everywhere!

Why is my right to own a cat any less than your right to have a clean garden?

Also I agree that trying to keep an animal that needs to roam as a pet is cruel to start with. Owners of cats (and many/most other animals) should be reported to the RSPCA for getting them in the first place.

catwhiskers10 do you hear what you just said?

Remember it's not the right to have a clean garden it is.

"why is my right to drop shit in your garden any less than your right not to want me to"

PregolaLola I have never said i hated cats, I do hate having to clear up after other people's pets and I also dislike the attitude of some cat owners when they think it's ok for me, or others to clear up after their pets.

As for my comment, I think you will find it was meant in the same tone as the one it was responding to from yourself.

ermmmm ok!and then what happens to all the cats,dogs etc that would be roaming around?breeding like mad and become a real problem?

God my friend came over with her little boys and her poor toddler skidded in cat poo (which I didn't know was there).

It was mortifying.

yes

unless you don't like me then I'll deny it vehemently and of course this conversation never happened

arianes have you tried the rubber spikes that you place on top of the fence/wall?look into all options rather than spraying pepper etc around the garden.

hehehe im joanne_77 on ebay and i did have you on my old fb account,have sent u a friends requset ages ago for my new fb account i have kel emma etc on there too xxx(i have buster & homer)

ddubsgirl no one blames you for not being able to keep a cat from causing problems. The point is that knowing that it would cause problems for your neighbours you went and got one anyway.

onagar thats pathetic. truly.

i struggle to think quite how ridiculous a person must be to think its cruel to own a domesticated animal, dogs and cats aren't elephants they have been bred down from their wild roots to the pets most of society own today

i will have a look thanks ddubsgirl ! im just at my wits end with all the mess

ahhh but most of my neighbours have cats too,so will have shit in our gardens!its never bothered me nor has it them,maybe you need to move.

I don't think it's my right to drop shit in peoples gardens.
I have the right to own a cat and my cat has the right to be allowed to roam outdoors. I would rather my cats used a litter box than random neighbours gardens but unfortunately they won't.
Cat shit in the garden pisses me off as much as anyone else so I bought a deterrent. I still get the odd shit in my garden but I pick it up and deal with it.
I don't expect the cats to be denied their right to freedom just because I like a nice flowerbed.

flippingebay thing is your comment 'responing to the one from myself' needn't have been there at all mainly as my first comment was a lighthearted contibution to a thread, NOT a comment addressed to you or even in the slightest as rude as your tone

lets not argue though, seems pointless

I'm surprised noone's mentioned toxoplasmosis. I'd rather my children didn't go blind or die just because one (actually lots) of my neighbours want a cat. And never mind the slaughter of the local wild bird population.

I'm forever chucking glasses of water over cats that venture into our garden, much to the embarassment of my wife - I don't see the problem. Now if they in other peoples' gardens I'd understand.

I did abandon the idea of dissolving asprins in the water - I reckoned the cats would lick it off themselves and of course asprin is highly toxic to cats. Though I abandoned it on the grounds of practicality rather than anything else.

and you sound like a lovely human peetle
