Keeping the cats away.

[StripyHorse]

NDN cat has taken to fouling in our garden. On the grass so not buried.

I want to stop this happening as I am sick of constantly clearing it up so please hit me with your suggestions to prevent this.

We aren't always in for the super soaker idea to work. I also don't want to spend too much money (especially on something that only 'might' work). My children play in the garden so I don't want to put down anything that will be toxic to them.

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks

Lion poo, OP! You can buy it in garden centres. Think there are also very high-pitched siren type things that only cats can hear, that you can buy.

We have filled our garden with lavender plants. It’s reduced cat mess by about 90%

I’ve mentioned this before, but will repeat what has worked for me.
Used real coffee grounds mixed with citrus peel and half a teaspoon of Vick vapour rub. ( Superdrug’s cheap version)

Apparently they don’t like the smell.

Adopt a feisty female cat, she will defend her patch.

I don't want a cat of my own, although I do like cats. I will give the other options a try though, thank you.

Co-incidentally I bought some lavender for the front garden .... since then the cat has gone in the back so there might be something in that!!

Get a motion activated sprinkler (around £30) that's what I intend to do as the neighbourhood cats keep fouling and digging up my flowers.

Also curry plants and lavender are supposed to be good.
