SPike rods on fence to stop cats coming in?

[Hitmewithit]

My garden is lovely, my daughter will love it this summer, but unfortunately the neighbours cat keeps coming and shitting all over my grass. I bought repelant and used it for a week, i thought it worked but then a massive shit in the middle of the lawn followed by a load of sloppy shit by the fence. I only have a small grass area and I'm getting really fucked off with the grass being shat on. It makes me feel like the lawn stinks and full of germs if my daughter wants to crawl around on it or if we sit on it. I feel like I'll need to disinfect it if I want to go out there with her.

I've seen the cat that does it, I've chucked water at it, chased it away etc but it still comes back!!

I'm tempted to go to Homebase today and get some of these spiked rods that I've seen. Is this legal to do?

You can get rollers that go on top of fences, so that cats can't get enough purchase to jump over.
They don't harm the cats, just make them think "fuck this for a game of soldiers" and stop trying.

I do feel your frustration though. I have cats, who are all spayed, but due to certain people in the vicinity not spaying or neutering their numerous, overbred cats, all the feral toms use my garden as their rapey pisser HQ, and any time they can get in my house, they do, and spray everywhere. I'd rather they shit to be honest, as it's much easier to sort out!

Once the wall that was knocked down by Storm Dorothy is rebuilt, I'll be getting the fence rollers I mentioned, to keep my cats in, and the Pissycats out. I know how stressful certain cat behaviours are.
