My cats are pooing and weeing all over my lawn

Need some advice on this as it is a constant problem, my lawn has loads of dead patches from the wee and piles of poop is there :~(

 

If your lawn is easy for cats to paw and dig then cover it up thats why, but if its an regular lawn then they may not be doing it. However, see if you can give them a space on the side, with a pile of mulch or something easy for them to paw and cover. Then spray the other area with a "keep away" spray.
On the flip side, be glad your cats are weeing, one of mine stopped cost me a ton of money in surgery to get him to start again on his own. Now every time I see him wee, my day is a happy one.

 

Cats usually like to go where there is something soft for them to dig and cover with Dawn.
Maybe your cats can't find a suitable place and that is why they are using the lawn.
You could dig out an outdoor litter area for them and fill it with something soft, easy to dig.
You can buy outdoor litter in big bags.
At regular intervals you can shovel the area out into bin bags and refill with clean litter.
That should solve your problem and stop the cats from using neighbours gardens as well.

 

I'm sorry to say this, and I really mean it.:yho:

But it very nice to find a cat owner that is actually having problems with their "own " cats causing a problem in their own garden.

Its usually the neighbours who have this kind of problem.

As a dog owner, I think you need to pick up the poop and dispose of it, the dead patches are just one of the joys of owning a pet.

 

Dawn,

They would normally use nice dug over flower and vegetable beds or manybe leave litter ubder shrubs - but it is so wet at the moment that I doubt they could dig them up without getting themselves muddy, and you know cats hate that.

It will return to normal when the weather dries up a bit.

Well, my thoughts anyway

 

Try to picture this. Over here with all the snow, it is so endearing to see one of them cover up something with the snow. Well, I think its endearing.

 

this is a problem that i have with a garden that i do, although the borders are kept hoed and the soil is soft cats still use the grass all through the year. i put the condition of the lawn down to be the problem, it is a shady garden and it is full of moss the result of two wet summers.

 

i used that lion poo stuff and no cat poo at the moment

 

where did you get the lion poo? i need some fo that for my garden!

 

i got it from my local garden centre, it actually does work, have to re put it down after 4 wks thou, but it definately is keeping the cats away

cost me about 8 quid for a box of it but thought worth a try as hate seeing my grass ruined due to cat poop :P
