Cat poo problems

[Pearly]

Getting back to the post and not wanting to harm the cats as have two myself - I've told my neighbours to buy one of those water guns and spray it in the cats general direction if they see them in their garden. Mine hate water and it does them no harm, just makes them think twice about going into that particular garden. 
Failing that I've heard lion poo is a good deterent - tho knowing cockers they would love that lol...

Two cats here as well, Lisa - one has been known to come home drenched, tbh it's the cats fault for not running away quickly enough 

I did consider purchasing some fake snakes but now I have Coral I'm pretty sure they would all end up in her bed....and the cats outside as they seem to spend most of their time just now

I know mine poo in their own garden as no other cats come in anyway - unfortunately it also means when the cats come in the house the dogs know this means cat treats

My apologies Maggie.

I read your post and thought "Lion poo  you must be joking".

Then I found that lion poo is available at £25 for 2 kilos on Amazon

I'd also like to add that the dogs do a better job of digging up my once lovely garden than the cats do

We tried lion poo, the dogs thought it was a real delicacy, they rolled in it first then ate it  it wasn't around long enough to see if it worked for the cats

Crikey!! fancy having that delivered - hope it comes bagged

At that price I can imagine a few COL meet ups at the various safari parks.

The cockers can form a cordon to keep the lions at bay while their owners go to it with buckets and shovels

My garden used to be covered in cat poo. I solved it by getting a dog. They sometimes pass through but they don't linger any more.

Thank you Joules.....

Just to say e bay have lots of  rubber snakes - stomach churned just looking at them

Not sure I would place them in my garden - they look so realistic think they would scare me and Ollie away.

It was me who posted about toy snakes.......I bought them from DOMINO's (toy shop not pizza) in Leicester many years ago, I still use them now and again.

There is plants called, Curry Plant - Helichrysum augustfolium or italicum, Scaredy cat plant - Plectranthus caninus (coleus canina) cats don't like the smell of these so no harm to them, might be useful!

Not a method to stop cats coming into the garden but I have a way to deter our canine friends snaffling the delicacies which cats leave behind. Before letting the dog out go into the garden with a bottle of tabasco sauce, find the offending truffles (poop) and liberally cover in tabasco sauce. Dogs soon learn not to eat them. It took about 3 treated lumps and my boy has never touched cat poo sinceand that was nearly eight years ago.

I spread cayenne pepper on areas of where cat poo has been (after I've picked it up first)  .  My little monster runs a mile if he sees I've got cayenne on my fingers!  The 4 cats next door appear to be getting the message after 9 months but unfortunately can't spread cayenne pepper on fox poo on our walks  . If only ...

I used to have a terrible problem with cat poo, then I got sweep and after the first year I've never seen any since. They don't tend to hang around in the garden anymore as he likes to chase them.  They get a,fair head start as he barks his head off first and I've made sure there's plenty of places for them to get out where he can't follow.  He caught up with a hare once, the hare sat down, then so did sweep. I think the cats are safe!  Didn't know about snakes but it could be true, we do get them in the garden too.
