I've blogged a few times recently
www.sheddyian.wordpress.com about cats; specifically that neighbour cat(s) keep messing in my garden. I've trodden in it, and it's been under the kitchen window where I can smell it, so it's not easy to ignore.
Detail :
I've seen 3 different cats around my place. I don't have any cats, and neither does my immediate neighbour. The cats are all fairly thin, one looks a bit ragged, so they *might* be strays.
My garden, and neigbours garden, have very little soil, it's all paved/decked, so maybe the cats are going where they can.
I like cats. But I don't like having to clear up their mess.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might discourage the cats from laving stinky gifts for me?
So far I've :
Sprinkled anti-cat/dog fouling granules
Scooped up previous foulings and washed ground with disinfectant to remove smell
Put solar powered PIR cat scarer (high pitched sound device) nearby
Last item is very recent so not able to judge if it's a success yet.
Anti-cat granules possibly work for 2 or 3 days then fouling happens again.
What else should I do?
Thanks
Ian
