How To Stop Cat Crapping In My Garden?
24 Answers
I have a small garden and a cat has recently started to use it as a toilet.
So far I have tried...
- putting twigs down
- tethering plastic bags
- curry powder
- bought cat repellent
- wire mesh on the high walls
- wd40 on the walls
- an ornamental cat on the wall.
- I have a motion detecting security light
Nothing has worked. I have never seen the cat, only its business.
Any proven remedies I could try?

If it is in the back garden you can get things that squirt water at them, not that I've ever tried. I have had limited success with putting down camphor, but it needs continual replacement.
(If you can get a tracking camera up maybe you can identify the cat and where it goes home; and post the presents back to it's owner. I'm sure they must be missing them having gone to all the trouble of creating a cat toilet in their own garden.)

Not all cats bury their waste, although I used to think so, it seems increasing numbers don't - so the only way to say a fox is involved is to see or photograph one in the act (or have an analysis of the stuff carried out). Unfortunately, cat owners are reluctant to acknowledge the problem because they don't suffer it while their animals dump on the neighbours. There is a very effective fitting available which goes onto a garden hose and actually targets/tracks the cat as it moves about the garden. I saw something about this not long ago, sold on Amazon amongst other places, originates in the USA if I remember correctly. Extremely amusing video somewhere online - scares the bejeezus out of the critters (much like placing a cucumber near them when not looking - another set of very funny videos) and they quickly learn to avoid the place. In fact, I think some of this may have cropped up on AB not long ago.
This stuff always seems to get good reviews.
