Following on from that other cat thread, apparently there is a plant to stop the feckers crapping in your garden

[oliveoil]

article here

it is called Coleus Canina

has anyone tried it?

Lol Twiglett.
Hmmm footballs eh?
I have two in my cupboard.

This stuff

There's no challenge to doing links these days, is there?

orange and lemon peel keeps them away but you have to keep replenishing it..... I also heard that a bottle filled half way up with water scares them, but when my sister tried it, she found the neighbours cat patting it around in fascination and not looking even remotely upset by it!!!!

Tiger poo

oh good god no moo

I have lovely old walls [snob] I am not defacing them

and that presenter man annoys me

Orange peel doesn't work either.

They ate that, too.

what about is I got a stone alsation and propped it in the corner?

I also do the yellow gloved poo patrol every morning, which being pg is v hazardous. Have tried lion dung, citrus sticks, shouting, mothballs, garlic and most recently, B&Q stuff that looks disconcertingly like Colombian marching dust, which not surprisingly, the local tom cat just snorts up before doing usual poo. I'm going to try lethally sharp gravel next.

I have tried the aforementioned plant, bottles of water, old CDs dangling on strings (garden art, v. pretty), orange and lemon peel, moth-balls in little bags made of old tights (actually they were new tights, I rarely wear tights so had to buy some specially) on garden canes, Jeyes fluid in yoghurt pots buried in the lawn, tea bags soaked in Olbas oil, pepper, paprika, curry powder, proprietary deterrant gels etc.

I did buy lion poo pellets but didn't use them as the instructions said it can make the problem worse before it makes it better (cats see it as a challenge) and I couldn't face it.

Also haven't tried the sonic sound repeller things as they are expensive and might not work.

I also keep a stash of corks by the back door which I chuck at any cats in my garden (as yet, I have never managed to stopper an arse - that is my ultimate goal. In fact, I've never managed to hit a cat...)

Nothing works, except a dog.

on top of aforementioned

I have tried

38 sparkling whirly windymiller things and found a cat sitting on my outside table staring at one in fascination

the spray animal repellent from homebase seems to work quite well (its yellow and about a fiver) but that's after you've found some and removed it .. they don't come back to that patch

I do think this summer has been much easier than any previous summer tbh .. minimal poo .. neighbour with 2 cats moved out last year .. but there's still some

the sods don't like rain

tis ONE good point from our current rubbish weather

We had the same problem with the buggers shitting in our empty flowerbeds until I filled them all with plants. Have tried tea bags soaked in Jeyes Fluid, some green gel stuff that made my eyes water and pepper. Now, if I see any of them evening eyeing up my flower beds I get the pellet gun out and they don't half shift as my aim has improved and I hit them 9/10 goes. Just hope that none of my neighbours spots the 'gun' as it almost looks real. Last thing I want is armed police turning up on my doorstep!!
