Stopping cat from using neighbor's garden as toilet.
sandy58 formulated on Tuesday :
Urgent tips required as my neighbor is a nice person. :-) TIA. My grandmother used to put very small sticks in newly sowed soil at different angles to prevent the cats from squatting down. She also filled bottles with water and laid them on the flower beds, I think the intention was that the cat would get scared by the reflection in it's eyes. There was one Ginger Tom who would cross her lawn each day and would stop and stare at her through the window. She would bang the window and the Tom would not move until she opened the door to shoo him on his way, they are clever and he did this to get back at her. I believe in garden centres and hardware stores you can purchase a type of gel that disuades the cat from going where it is not wanted. -- Count Baldoni |

I'll set out a few of them too. Thanks, Count Baldoni. :-) |

I took it to the neighbour in question. She showed me her deterent, the only alternative I saw in the garden centre. So she has both. Hopefully the wee beastie will stay out of there. :-) |

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. |

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. -- Count Baldoni |
