Best cat repellant for the garden?

[cupcakessl]

I have some time of work and I am tidying up the back garden.

The neighbours cats will come and play in our garden so I want to cat proof the garden for my toddlers so they don’t stand or pick up any cat poo.

I have looked on Amazon and have found mixed reviews.

Any suggestions welcome please xx

I also used to believe this when I had a cat but it is not true, I think they must be where the phrase “you don’t shit on your own doorstep” comes from as cats never seem to do it on their own territory just other peoples.

now I have poo in my garden on a daily basis so it is probably karma, we know it is from next doors cat as we have cameras.

@cupcakessl unfortunately I haven’t found anything that works, cats seem to get used to them very quickly. I am toying with the idea of spikes but that seems too mean at the moment.

Yes - or a fiercer cat!

Yes, there's one who climbs in my windows if left open
I had to move the wheely bins to prevent access, but he can still get in the bathroom by going up onto next doors flat roof and walking along. I have to keep the bathroom door shut to stop him getting into the rest of the house. I often see him scooching out the window as I open the door to go to the loo!
