question from one of my neighbours

[CathyW]

she sez how do u stop a cat from peeing in her garden (and its not mine cause mine dont go out) she sez the smell is driving her mad,its right by her front door (cant blame her really)any suggestions on what she can put down 1, to get rid of smell. 2 stop the cats from using her front door as a loo.

Biological washing powder in hot water should get rid of the p smell but she also needs something to deter future visits.
Orange peel?
'Silent Roar' (I believe it's lion dung! :roll: )
Pepper Dust?

It could be that taking away the previous smell will stop it coming back.
Sure somebody else has good ideas.

I know sprinkling pepper on the area is supposed to put cats off going on there. I suppose there are specialist commercial products too. Might be worth asking at a Pet shop? Some disinfectant type products can actually attract an animal to pee in an area. Much better sticking to biological washing powder I would think..

She's just in time!!

I have ordered the following plant as it is supposed to be fantastic at detering cats. However, it sells out pretty quick and is available from April for a short time.

Your neighbour could plant it in a nice terrocota pot :)

The reason I am getting it is for my front garden. When I first moved in I had this plant in the front border and had no problems with cat poo etc. I stupidly had it removed when I had my garden done a couple of years ago without realising what it was!:roll: Since then I have a lawn and border full of cat poo - nice! I thought this was a natural safe alternative to deter cats from pooing in my garden.

My back garden is safe as it is cat proofed and so they can't get in :)
