Cat repellant products

[gon2seed]

May be a bit extreme, and a little expensive, even if you it's a stray dog from a kennel, but since Willow came into our life & our garden, the neighbourhood cats no longer enter our garden to deposit their 'messages'
Willow detests cat's, chases them with a passion and is quick! (Usain Bolt on amphetamin!); funnily enough we no longer get feline marauders from the neighbouring cats, or their stinky excrement! Has never caught one thank god! Sure she wouldn't hurt them if she did! but hell they obviously want to avoid finding out.

just jumping on the thread here... if you didn't have cats you would have a lot of mice!! i have a cat who is mainly indoors,he goes out when i walk him on a lead! because i am terrified of someone killing him. yes cats poo, get over it, it's not dangerous poo and its not doing anything wrong, and they always hide it as well

Cat poo can be dangerous!!

Cat dung carries the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a single-celled organism that creates infectious agents called oocysts. These oocysts can infect pregnant women, causing congenital problems in the baby such as deafness, seizures, eye damage and mental retardation. The parasite also infects people with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS.

You're really serious, aren't you?
Cat and dog poo are just as dangerous as each other. The parasite lives in soil, it can get transfered from stuff like sand pits etc.

someone poisoned two of my cats when I lived in Telford, and the other went missing, we suspect it was a neighbour that was pissed off over it pooing in its garden. We have a cat here in Stafford he isnt dominant and gets bullied and therefore neighbour cats poo in our garden. Might try the curry powder thing but feel George my dog might take a fancy to it.

The cats in my street have now start defecating in my rear garden (not content with just my front garden!). I have no idea whether cat poo is dangerous, however it's bloody annoying and not well hidden! I want to be able to let my child play in my rear garden without having to avoid cat poo. I also don't want to come in contact with it when I'm gardening. I think that's very reasonable, as such I will continue my quest to rid my garden of cats.

Please note - I don't wish any harm to cats. I just don't want them leaving 'presents' on my garden.

It is, very. You can get Toxoplasmosis from poo (& meat), as @Glam has already stated....

Please check your garden thoroughly each time before your little-one plays in.it...

Do you have any recommendations as to what I can do to make my garden less attractive to cats? Are there any cat repellent products that are safe for children? I currently use pellets for my front garden, however I can't use these for my rear garden (grassed area) because I suspect my toddler will try and eat them. Help required!

Sorry @markpa12003 - can't think of anything else apart from what's already mentioned on here....

Apparently orange peel works failing that a good water pistol will do the trick

 

[markpa12003]

I've got a hose on permanent standby, however I have not yet managed to catch the 'cats in the act'. I will try orange peel.

pellets to kill a cat?? i work very closely with a local cat rescue and would be very angry to hear of people trying to kill someones pet..

there isnt much you can do, if you have good soil they will poo, get a dog, or a cat?

They don't hide their poo in my garden. However, even if they did I still don't want it in my garden.

The cat repellent I currently use comprises of small odour pellets. It doesn't kill cats...its a repellent!

I don't want any pets. I just don't want cat poo on my garden where my child plays.

then it's not a cat pooing in your garden

 

[markpa12003]

Yes it is.

Not all cats bury it all the time - I suffer from a neighbourhood cat who is happy to leave it in the middle of the lawn regularly.

Hiding waste is a natural feline instinct , but it's not just because cats are obsessed with cleanliness. The act of meticulously burying their waste stems from cats' long history of using urine and feces to mark their territory
