Rant alert.
Growing up in the wilds of the country, we had cats who lived half in the house half in the garden.
We have recently forked out on a small house with a garden in a semi-detached row so that DCs can have a little bit of green space to run about in. Every other (insert sreaming swearword) person in our row seems to have at least one cat, if not two.
We have to go out every morning to clear up yet more cat shit from our garden so DD has even a chance of playing out there. It is absolutely revolting.
We are trying various foul-smelling pellets but this often means WE don't want to be in the garden. I am so cross with urban cat-keepers. Cats need space. Even if they're litter trained, if they're outside, they will do it. And they won;t do it in their own gardens. They'll go to the nearest cat-free spot. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
Plus the fact every time I want to do some gardening I have to run the risk of turning over soil with wet, foul cat poo in it.
What bloody works?
