    Jjordie first of all I would like to apologize for my appalling lateness in replying to you.

    Below is a link to an ebay auction site with one of those sonic cat scarers, it might take a couple of weeks to work on some cats but it started to work right away for us. We have two Yorkies as well and they don't seem to be bothered about it although one of the girls is slightly deaf.

    I switch our scarers on at night as this seems to be the time when we have all the droppings.

    I have also brought rechargeable batteries for them as they take two square batteries to run them, you can run them off electricity too but you don't get the transformer/ power supply in the pack.Hel.xxx.

    Thanks Hel. I will have a look on that link.

    Cats aren't too bad at the moment as they don't seem
    to be outside much at the moment - warmer indoors I expect. [​IMG]

    Alas it doesn't work with me. Other cats come and go and ours still cr*ps in the borders. I have taken to putting twigs in all the spots I don't want poo in it acts as a very spiky deterant and so far works

    We adopted a neutered Tom and he messes everywhere!..Doesn't even bother to bury it,and the cat we already had now uses our garden too, instead of the nearby field as she used to. [​IMG]

    Hi all,

    I signed up to this site primarily for advice on cat poo. Unfortunately the twist in the tale is that it's my wife's cat (I refuse to have anything to do with it as I loathe the thing!). Anyway, it goes out at night and come the morning she's left deposits on our nice, newly laid lawn.

    I'll be honest with you - If I could kill it I would, but the wife would bawl her eyes out for days and the thought of that is even worse!!!

    Hi, i have 2 cats and we provide a couple of areas for them to do 'their thing'. It works extremly well. Also where you have put plants in we have found that if you cover the soil with good sized rough pebbles (they need to be at least half inch across) the cats dont like the sharpness wen walking on them. Its worked for us anyway. :O)

    hi all

    my cat poo problem is worse than ever my next doors neighbour has no problems i asked what he uses and he said disinfectant ????

    he dilutes it and uses a watering can has anyone used this ???

    it either works really well or they like crapping in my garden so much they don't bother with his lol

    i bought a bottle yesterday but it says keep away from animals especally cats ! i have 2 myself and don't want to bump them off !

    i don't really want to stop my own from going but i really want to stop the other 6 that are !

    Wow, loads of interesting (and funny!) information on here about cat poo. As I said on another thread, I'm a bit wary about using a sonic repellent, since my garden's very close to many others (and I actually really like cats! I just don't want their poo!).

    How many of you have had success with using diluted disinfectant, which someone mentioned in another post?

    And, if (like me) you haven't got a bit tom to leave poos to deter other cats, would human poo do the trick? Must be a worth a try...
