Cat problems

[Butcherboy]

I have a patch on my lawn totally bare caused by 2 cats using it as a toilet. What should I use to stop this?

Would prefer serious comments please

empty a bottle of vinegar on the spot, will discourage them

I just love my next door neighbours cat too. So much so that I am in the process of organising a big Fireworks party for this year in his honour.

Crossman rabbitstopper, decent scope, extra pointy pellets.

 

Seriously though, for a patch like this a piece of fine chicken wire pinned down over the area should deter cats as well as anything. Cats hate walking on wire and will try and avoid it if possible. Obviously being a mesh, your grass will grow through it (probably not until March though now!!).

 

I have an Argos cat scare for my pond. It works fine for the older cats BUT one kitten which has visited our garden since it was about 12 weeks old I think has got used to the noise, and it doesn't seem to bother him.

Nip down to the local zoo and borrow a crocodile, I heard this on a gardening programe, the woman did,nt explain how you cut the grass after you got one, but did assure listeners that it put the cats off.!!

Get a clear, glass bottle - wine bottle should do. Half-fill with water, cap it and lay it on the lawn. It's a very old remedy which seems to work for a while (apparantly the refraction of light through water/glass freaks them) though I found that after a while their efficacy declined.

 

Alternatively, find a small plastic container with a snap-lid. Make holes in lid. Put a good drop of household ammonia in container and site same on the problem patch. Cats will steer clear but, again, the efficacy declines as the ammonia ages so change contents every couple of days.

Break the cat's habit and it'll solve the problem.
