    I would hate one of my beloved cats to end up being described as a cat pelt 😿.

    Just buy a big water gun and skoosh them. You could rig up some netting camouflage and wait patiently like a hunter.

    Mine must be home by 7pm, and they get let out around 9am if that helps.

    Lion poo is hopeless. Only the scarecrow works.

    In our experience the only thing that works is a bigger cat of your own :)

    Are you sure it's cat poo? Cats dig it down into the soil. Sounds more like a badger or fox. 
    My former neighbour blamed my cats, so I asked her to bring the poo to me. It was a badger.

    Cats poo on my doorstep, all over my chicken wire (erected for the purpose) on the gravel, in my flower pots. I see them doing it. They would come in and crap on my carpet, given half a chance. I think you know very demure cats.

    How many domestic cats have met a lion and know it might be a problem?

    Water scarecrow is effective as long as you remember to relocate the sensors before the cats work out where the trigger spots are.   

    I'm in the country with a a large garden and our neighbours are not gardeners but our two pussies have a litter tray indoors and are kept in at night cos of the wildlife.

    Male cats often don't  bury their poo as they use it to mark their territory. This often results in heaps on the lawn or in a garden bed.

  • I understood UK zoos were supplementing their income by selling big cat poo to be turned into a cat deterrent product.

    A very good idea I think.

    Perhaps I might buy myself a tiger. 

  • Definitely the cat next door. I've got to clear it up now before I can mow it. Disgusting little animal!!!
