Squee Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I agree with Paddy - I think it could be fox droppings. Post up a pic of the goods! there's plenty of cat folk on here who'll be able to identify from the girth. S. PS. I came on here to read the referendum thread. Since that's been axed this thread was the next best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianphampton Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I tried all the chemical methods, but with the rain we get here it washes most of it away The device I find work best is the ultrasonic sound maker. You need to make sure the batteries are good and I find it helps to change the frequency & intensity every couple of weeks or they get used to it https://www.primrose...CFbYW0wodbb4FDg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) This is fantastic!! i've have thrown down some pepper and some eucalyptus and there has been no sign of any poop yet. if it continues i'll go for the lion/tiger poop. yes i am sure it's cat pooh, i know the difference in smell. Plus i have seen the offender dig, squat and bury from my drive way. Edited July 5, 2016 by Rock_Steady 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Isn't replacing one type of smelly poop with another a bit pointless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Are you sure it's cats and not foxes (Or a dog)? Cats generally prefer flower beds or sand as they naturally want to cover up their peeps and poops... Just a thought? We've got loads of cats and over the years have had close to 50. I've yet to have a cat that didn't bury its poo and cover it up or at least attempt to. It's an instinct that pre dates cats domestication, they do it to hide their presence from larger predators. There are occasions when they don't cover their poop, usually when there are lots of male cats from different households who are laying claim to the same piece of territory. Males will often spray but it's not quite the same as marking by pooping, it tells other cats the time that the cat was around so other cats can share the territory but not at the same time. Female cats also spray but its fairly rare. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 My female kitten makes zero attempt to cover her thumping great stinky dumps in the litter tray. I've no idea what's wrong with her, useless thing. I have no idea how the other cat survives going in there afterwards, I really don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) One of ours has now taken to sh!tting on the kitchen worktop. Lovely I know. He even does it whilst your in the room. The other day I was making a cup of tea. Kettle boiled, turned around to grab a cup. By the time I had turned around the cat had stealthy snuck in the room, done a massive dump next to the kettle & vanished. I nearly stuck my cup in it. Disgusting thing.

KyleR Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 There's a couple of cats around my way that love shitting in my front garden and make no effort to bury it. I can see them from my front window so I know who the wee bastards are. I'm tempted to place an order for a catapult and declare war!

Jetpilot Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Few bits of carpet gripper rod in the borders works well, lightly cover with soil and invisible too and if you have fences, a few lengths on the top of the fence stops them travelling between gardens Edited July 9, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_Steady Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Wouldn't you know it, the moment i put up the last post, there's a nice new shinny turd in the only place i didn't put any pepper corns down . I'm going to buy a shed load of it later and some Lion poop from Amazon. Now there's a sentence i never thought i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The problem with the pepper deterrent is that the effect wears off very quickly. Could you put some rocks, prickly plants, garden mesh in the affected areas? The initial cost will be more, but it's a better solution in the long term. As for Lion crap, I don't see how that will be any less gross than the kitty poop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
