How do I keep a cat doing its poos outside our shop?

I help run a charity shop which has a patch of gravel at the back, I reckon it is about 2x3 metres. It adjoins the car park for our church
Every morning we find two or three poos on this bit of gravel. We have tried covering it in bleach, no effect.
What else can we do?

Bleach attracts my cat, he can't get enough of the stuff.

Suggestions range from getting some lion poo in to spraying pet deterrent. Distraction techniques (like getting a cut out dog, yes really! Saw it once at friend's house in Germany) don't work as cats are not daft.

Most don't work btw, you best bet is to get your gravel paved over.

Sprinkling it with pepper or curry powder can stop them.

Try watering some Jeyes fluid into the gravel. Usually that is quite repellent to them - and foxes who are often responsible for such deposits too. There are a few petshop products you might like to search out too if you hunt about the shops (maybe garden centres even to help keep them off flowerbeds?)

It's just a big litter tray to them. Cheapest thing will be a few paving slabs.

My cat adores bleach too. He's had awful burns on his ears from rubbing his head in the loo after it's had bleach in it.

Tiger poo.

My cat likes the smell of bleach - if I've been using it she rubs all round my hands!

I would lie in wait with a water pistol. Alternatively you can get dried lion poo, which scares cats away... seriously!
