Tags: Cats., From, Garden......, Pooing, Stop
My mum’s having this problem, the next door neighbour’s cats keep just coming in our back garden and just parking theirselves and taking a poo. Is there any way I could do something to stop the cats wanting to do this?
Thanks for any replies.
You can get powder to put down – usually garlic or citrus scented that the cats don’t like. Try Wilkos or somewhere (if in UK). Most garden centres should stock this type of thing. The drives on my street are gravel and I know people use this and it seems to work best.
Other options include high pitched noise deterrents that only animals can hear. These are wall mounted and work on a sensor but are probably quite expensive.
You can also get a fake cat type thing that reflects light to try and scare off the cats a night – I shouldn’t imagine these work very well!!
Best option probably a dog though!
I had exactly the same problem! I recently bout a high frequency soundwave type contraption that attaches to your fence or sits on your grass and when it senses a warm body it lets out a sound (inaudible to humans) and it terrifies the cats but doesn’t upset birds. It really works! We haven’t had a cat anywhere near our garden for weeks!! Have a look on ebay.
Do not place dangerous equipments as it would hurt the cat. Make a small fence area in your garden and bring it in there every time it want s to poo. It would make it a habit for the cat. The small fenced area must be clean by spraying water from a hose to flatten down the poos and the water allows it to biodegrade faster with the aid of the grass.

I filled all my flower beds with river stones so they had nowhere to dig. Or try getting big cat scat from a zoo, they get the smell and the are too scared to come in to your garden, It does stink but a very small amount spread around the garden boundary will do the trick
My mum puts big, clear plastic bottles in the garden, filled with water. It’s something about the cat not liking the creepy reflection of itself.
Personally, I prefer the poo to a load of old bottles.
She might be going senile.
I have heard from friends that they fill clear plastic bottles up with water and leave them in the garden, they do say it works.
very difficult, there are several things to put in garden, but cats always find that one spot where your forgotton and do it there.
do you know what love……………
give it up let them sh*t there!!!!!!
seriously i tried everything nothing works………..
absofuckinglutly nothing……….
yeah i heard cats hate the smell of citrus.. so grind up some orange peel and spread it out :] ♥
Leave orange peel around the garden …they hate it
Oh pepper dust might help. Get a dog . s preading tiger poo from a zoo will deter them

Shove something up the cat’s a*s, e.g. a cork.
