Gee, Thanks Schwartzie
My neighbors' cat Schwartzie just made a "deposit" in the soft soil
right outside the window next to my den. The weather is great, perfect for opening a few windows. I'm not sure I appreciate him deciding to use this spot as his outdoor litterbox. If it becomes *the* poop-spot it could get very stinky. I'm not sure what I could use/do to discourage him from using that area. Any suggestions? Jill |

I mix cayenne pepper with water and apply where I don't want animals in the garden. Try putting your cats fur in the area. Ann |

Doing some research, I read a solution of finely ground black pepper and water might work. (Cayenne pepper is expensive! I'd rather save it for cooking.) Also lemon or orange peels, which is not something I have handy. Coffee grounds... hmmm, I could do that. Whatever I do I also have to ensure not attracting bugs. I live in a very temperate climate. It's barely gotten chilly this winter. The bugs are already coming out in force. Jill |

Quite why it's meant to be an improvement to have your flowerbeds smell as if leopards crap in them, I never could work out. Could it help the flowers grow, at least? Probably not - small-cat poop doesn't work well as fertilizer, either. Maybe because they eat mostly meat? -- Joyce God's original plan was to hang out in a garden with some naked vegetarians. -- Seen on a wall poster |
