How can I prevent neighbours cat pooing on our drive?

[mogwai]

We have a gravel drive. This wretched creature obviously thinks it's a litter tray.

Yesterday my husband trod in the cat poo, trod it into my car and carried it into the childminder's house before returning home and spreading it up out hallway.

Both houses had to be disinfected and I was very late for work

It's not like I want to kill the cat........

Any ideas?

shoot it

Throw a football at it.

actually my dad has one of those ultrasonic anti cat things which has worked really well.

but it makes a HORRIBLE noise that humans aren;t supposed to be able to hear

Get a water gun and shoot it

ok ok

I do want to kill it really.

But I suppose I shouldn't.

Can't children hear that cat thing? There's a similar thing for teenagers to stop them hanging around outside shops. Adults can't hear it because we can't hear such high frequencies as we get older

you can get little citronella balls that look like brown gravel they deter cats from shitting

Put lots of lemon and orange peeling on your drive. Think of it as pot pourri! they hate it. Also, you can fill a few 2litre drinks bottles with water and place them around your drive, the cats see their reflection in them and usually scarper. Or you can buy a chemical from hardware stores and spray in on the area, it's a deterrent, no poison. Failing that you really could buy poison...

what sort of poison? Would there have to be a post mortem?

Could I feign ignorance?

i was going to say shoot the bastard but starlover beat me to it :)

I must get specs, mogwai, I read that as 'neighbours pooing on our drive'.

Get your own cat to see other cat off

I really don't know but you caould try rat poison, heparin as it thins the blood. If they're loaded they may pay the vet for a pm then you will be up the creek. Esp if it carks in your drive. Said drive laden with poo.

The perils of getting OLD bubble

apparently £60 fine for killnig a cat - we looked into it after numerous neighbourhood cats crapped on our drive. I personally would happily pay £60 to be rid of the horrid blighters

the cat's owner is not rich, but she may get another cat.

Rat poison....presumably I could say I thought we had rats?

get some animal repellent spray. i use it on my bin bags and it even keeps the foxes away.
but also i guess the fact i have a lot of dog poo in each bag helps.
cats dont cross our gardens on the ground, only along the fences. they walk thru next doors, then up the fence, past ours, then back down in the next garden....

Get a Dog!

:o

Lion poo

I dont think cats will eat poison, they are really cautious about what they eat - I remember seeing a vet on This Morning talking about it.

Yes I think you can still buy rat poison, though don't say it too loudly in the shop as you may have a visit from environmental health and oh I can just see the can of worms and opener...would make a great thread though, dontcha think

shall I start it?

where do you buy the animal repellent stuff, shaysmummy?

dp says call environmental health and they'll just bring you the rat poison for free!

Oh go on...

Supermarkets or usually garden centres. It wasn't megabucks and is quite a big spray bottle. It's yellow, I'll go get it....

I've spent aq fortune on sprays/crystal etc, none of them work IME. Lemon peel was quite effective though.
