Cat Shit Everywhere

OK well just in the garden.

What to do???

I don't want to use a sonic thing as I like cats and think it's a bit cruel.

Went out to 7 fresh turds today though so am not happy!!!

Any advice?

I think it's my fault for turning the earth hoeing etc too often as they like it freshly dug. But I have to keep the weeds off my veggies!!!!

Can I re-open this thread and ask if anyone has advice on neurotic cat that poos, in order of preference, in my pots so stink and flies everywhere, ouside the backdoor on bare brick or inside the house on the stair carpet. Am seriously contemplating trying to find her a new family with a cat litter tray. DP will not have a cat tray in the house. I have today sprinkled lavender oil onto the bricks outside and will see if that has any effect.

You could get a litter tray with a lid that can stay outdoors, I'd put it where the cat is pooing now. Cocktail sticks in plant pots and pepper dust on stair carpet. It might be too scared of neighbourhood cats to go far from home.
Chilli powder is also good on outside areas.

someone on here before said about male urine. so my son and I collected some and spread it around the area that the cats have started using now my dog is no longer with us, first I thought it hadn't worked then realised it was a blackbird that was digging up the border, so far after 3 weeks, no cat shit in the areas I and my son wee'd on

we do it in a specially bought container and then spread it around in daylight as I too have holly bushes, a rose bed, a yucca tree, and a stinging nettle patch (for the bees and butterflies) so I would not be as brave as your DH at night out in my garden

We use lion dung pellets only around the perimeter of the garden and use an ultrasonic cat deterrent to target specific areas. This
cat deterrent post has some useful tips.
