Be prepared for a deluge of abuse from all the cat lovers on here!

I'm with you on this one. You name it, I've tried it and nothing works (including garlic, orange peel, cat repellant, CD's waving in the sun, fake cats etc.) A product called ZooPoo (dried lion dung) works but I can't find it any more.
Olive......try Whipsnade, Chester or Regent.s Park.....should be plentiful supply there....;-)

thanks to you both i shall search - oh BTW not bothered about the abuse - am not here to chat to catlovers - have been coming on here long enough to know that some people will have an argument in an empty house - just need to solve this 2 year long problem x
There's nothing wrong with not liking cats.
What exactly are they doing in your garden?

They're just nosying around in it aren't they? Get a grip for heavens sake, and frankly I'd look at you not right too if you reacted hysterically each time I pottered past your window.

And I sincerely hope you're joking aqbout the poison!
One thing that might help is to buy one of those huge water guns and give them a blast with that - they may get the message.
I had one cat always used to foul in one particular tub - it would perch on the edge with its bum in the soil. I buried some sharp wooden skewers in the soil with about 4" poking out. It solved that problem.
BOO....they are crapping in his garden for Christ's sake and digging up his flowers.
Are you reading a part of the post that I can't see sqad?

I dont see digging up flowers or crapping in the garden anywhere in the OP's comments?
Question Author
yes but Boo your not sh*tting in my garden on a regular basis and if you were i'd wanna poison you too!
upturned fork prongs now theres an idea - i googled the zoopoo its �6.00 for a 50 litre bag but it doest specify whether its good for deterring cats? perhaps i could just drop the bag on it if all else fails hehehehehe (bring it on)
Question Author
BTW squad i am a woman (just for the record x)
BOO...just a guess my love.
Zoopoo DOES work - give it a go.
I'll probably get abuse now for admitting this, but I have also laid mousetraps where cats have their favourite place to poo....
Ahhh, so they are crapping in your garden!

Apparently the lion poo is supposed to work Curlyperm.

Sqad, I'd apologise to you, but I don't like you, so ner ner ner ner ;-)


Still CP- desist from the poison idea, no no and NO!
curlyperm.....oops! should have guessed from yr username.LOL

BOO....you know you love me, you are just fooling yourself, toat denial, I think they call it.
toat denial?

Errr yeah ok....
BOO just cus your educated, like wot i'm not, you talk down to me..

Off to play snooker now BOO.....love you!
Put a large sheet of twangy metal at the bottom of the garden and shoot at it from an upstairs bedroom window with a very noisy air rifle. The thunk of pellets striking sheet metal will make them scarper. I use this technique to scare off magpies when they start their ghastly cackling and croaking from the poplar trees.

If you get desperate, you can do a Clint Eastwood and set little spurts of dust jumping up around their faecal digging paws.
Girls....Girls....GIRLS. Smack your bots.

ok well thanks for the 'entertainment' guys - so that'll be the zoo poo then? failing that string 'em up on the washing line and shoot the b*stards (ahem)
Curly, try pouring some vinegar on the soil where they coopy poopy or crap, they don`t like it up their nose you know.
