Other than using dp's shotgun how do i stop the neighbourhood cats form depositing piles of poo on my front lawn?

[Beauregard]

Any ideas?

God i wish i knew!

My nieghbour has 7 yes 7 horrible big fluffy things with squashed noses, he lives in a 1 bed room flat. but the are constantly shi**ing on my garden and its disgusting. hey have all got stupid names like Tiddles and Snuggles which just makes it worse.

I can see them now all lined up across the fence just waiting untill they need a dump before coming into the garden.

Gits

Tiger dung.
Ask your local friendly zoo keeper.

Get your own cat.

Wooden kebab sticks poked into the ground or chicken wire laid on top is supposed to work...

ooh may try the tiger dung .

The only advice has already been given - get your own cat!

Or tiger?

Yeah i'll just pop to the West Midlands Safari Park and choose one

Would be priceless to see their faces though, wouldn't it?

lol
They may give me some dung though.

Dh has a pump action repeating water pistol which we keep in the front porch and when ever a cat comes along, he lets rip. Not sure it deters the cat, but it makes him feel better!

Put orange peel or spray a citrusy spray over the lawn cats hate this.

will try thanks

My fil swears that Bold washing powder works

Has no one suggested footballs yet?

Are you sure it's cats if it's on the lawn? The cats round here will crap all over the flower beds (even in the pots!), but if it's on the lawn it's always a dog, fox or hedgehog . . .

Bramshott -Yes funny you should say that but my mom also suggested foxes.

[thinking]

i dont know, my cats poo in the middle of the lawn sometimes...

How about a jet of water?

think there is a sonic sound thing that lets off a high pitch noise which cats hate

Fox poo is very similar in size to cats, but is usually much darker in colour.

I need to google pics of fox turds then

The only way to stop them is to pave your lawn. they don't like pooing on a hard smooth surface.

No chance of that happening .
Oh well............
