To ask how to stop cats from using front garden as their litter tray?

[ForeverSausages]

Very small front garden, recently laid (expensive) pebbles down. And every single morning I come out to see half buried cat shit amongst the pebbles. I have 2 dogs but at least they go in the back garden and don't make a half arsed attempt to burying it. Please help me, it's driving me insane .

You can get cat repellent spray which is effective but doesn't hurt the cats. It's effective but you need to keep at it for a couple of weeks. Good luck

Your cats or neighbours?

The best you can do is let your dogs have a few wees along the pebbles. The smell will deter the cats.

But tbh, fresh loose gravel/pebbles is pretty much an invitation to a cat to take a shit.

A green plastic bottle of water (like an empty 7 up bottle). It sounds crazy but it works. I swear!

@Mpsister any particular one?

@NoIDontWatchLoveIsland not my cats. Don't have cats, just the dogs. But I can definitely do that. Oh I know that now, wish I'd known that before 😩😩.

@ZekeZeke really? That's crazy!! Just in the middle of the pebbles??

Honestly it works. Yes, it looks like someone has left a random green bottle on the gravel bi I would rather that than cat poop.

Fresh loose material you say? You've basically created a big litter tray.

I bought this one from Amazon and it worked

Not having cats didn't even consider that pretty big pebbles would be the same as cat litter haha but yes, apparently I have!!

@ZekeZeke trying to find a green plastic bottle..... 😂😂.

My back garden is gravel and slabs. Since I've put two green bottles down, nothing!
Seemingly cats don't like the reflection.
I wouldn't have believed it either but it genuinely works.
