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.

But what if the cat wants to go outdoors ? It will always want to go
out at some point. It is only natural.

The water bottles worked for us in South Africa with dogs but I didn't
know about cats. I'll set out a few of them too. Thanks, Count
Baldoni. :-)

I have just been to the garden centre locally & bought a spray. 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. :-)

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.

There is no need to get so touchy. 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.

Hopefully all will turn out well and it will work out well for all
parties. Nice that you were both able to discuss this. :-)
