Stopping cat from using neighbor's garden as toilet.
cybercat brought next idea :
"Baldoni" wrote in message ... deja.blues wrote on 18/03/2008 : "sandy58" wrote in message ... Urgent tips required as my neighbor is a nice person. :-) TIA. Keep it inside. But what if the cat wants to go outdoors ? It will always want to go out at some point. It is only natural. Bull****. It's an ingrained, UK specific fallacy, as those of us with indoor cats know. My cats have window perches from which they watch the bird and squirrels with great interest, but they *NEVER* try to get out or stand at the doors. And both used to be outdoor strays. If you are going to allow your cat to roam, understand that you do so at the cat's risk. And don't come in here asking stupid questions like, how to stop a roaming cat from eliminating in turned up soil. I am old enough to remember when my grandfather kept a boxing kangeroo around the house, pigs and a couple of camels. The camels were no problem but having seen what the pigs and the kangeroo did to the gardens I doubt very much I will need to come here in the future asking questions about a roaming cat ! -- Count Baldoni |

If you want to imprison your animals then that is up to you. But I hold that cats were living outdoors when they were first employed by humans. So just tell your neighbor that when your cat ****s in his flowers. |

Just for the record... I only ever had one cat in many, many years
that showed any real desire to go outside. She indicated to us that she wanted to be outside by trying to run out every time we opened the door. She got out ONCE, and only once, and I did feel badly that we had to keep her contained, because she so wanted to be outside. On that one occassion she caught a Tufted Titmouse (a lovely little song bird that we feed at our feeders), and she accomplished this task within ten minutes of getting outside. Don't ask me how... but she managed it! Pretty smart cat I think! When she came back to the front to be let inside she had the bird in her mouth. She meowed to be let inside and the bird flew away luckily, unharmed. Other than that one cat I have never had a cat that ever had any desire to go out. |

Sorry to keep the post going; I just had to ad that... Why be sorry this is the last bastion of free speech left in the world. If you believe in your words then don't be ashamed to pipe up. I like to think if someone does not agree then they should have the level of intelligence to ignore the posts. -- Count Baldoni |

Stopping cat from using neighbor's garden as toilet.
Sandy, only note is if it is a food garden, to be sure it's a safe chemical
for the plants. There are some that are! Others are toxic and wil be absorbed by the food plants. If it's a flower garden, not an issue g. I have heard some home remedies using safe products, but am not sure how effective they are. One of them was so hairbrained, I can tell it will not work but just for chuckles, here is that one (grin). Put a light sprinkle of dry catfood in there. Cat is supposed to associate this now with a food place and wont use it as a latrine. (No, it doesnt work, but it was pretty funny!). |

Try a bit harder Cyber-PUSS. :-) Nice comeback. My comment, of course, still stands. If you let the cat out, then shut the **** up about what happens while the cat is out. And when the cat is slaughtered by a dog or hit by a car, or infected from a wound in a cat fight, or poisoned by a "not so nice" neighbor" don't come in here and whine about it unless you want to get flamed then, too. Asshole. |
