Fed up of cat sh*tting in our garden

[Ttcpph]

Our garden is fully enclosed by 6 foot fences/ gates all around.
we have a dog who, I believe I should be able to be let out in our enclosed back garden without fear of him eating cat shit!

how can I stop a cat coming and shitting?!
the dog eats the poo which is disgusting, a health hazard, and I'm pregnant so worried about toxoplasmosis.

dont know who's cat it is.
I can't buy those granules as the garden is a decent size so realistically can't cover the entire area in granules/orange peel/garlic/whatever else.

its so gross, my dog comes inside with the most vile smelling breath, and it makes him ill as he has a sensitive stomach.

so frustrated. I honestly feel like unless you live in a remote area where your cat can roam without being an annoyance, it should be an indoor cat.
people would be furious if I just let me dog shit in their gardens as I walk him, without picking up. How is this any different?!
somehow it's ok for cats to just shit anywhere?!?

Plant lavender, lemongrass and rosemary. Or Coleus canina.

Spraying lavender oil on your fences and putting citrus peels around them should also help.

Don't cat proof fence your garden. If the cat gets stuck in your garden and your dog attacks it, you will be prosecuted for animal cruelty because you deliberately trapped an animal to allow your dog to attack it. Rubber spikes that prevent birds perching on fences will deter cats too.

Completely agree re you can't have a situation that a cat is stuck in your cat-proofed garden and your dog attacks it.

I go out in the morning and I stroll round checking the fencing before I let my cat out into my cat-proofed garden to a) ensure no toms have been trapped and b) ensure the fencing is still intact before I let my own cat out as I want to keep her confined as she is elderly (but she hasn't realised that and would still be up for a scrap but she'd end up hurt)!

There is a c) too which is to check for vermin carcasses as there are people putting down rat poison and once one crawled into my garden and died. Yuk. Don't want my cat anywhere near that.
