    Hi singing gardener. Thank you. Can I use bamboo instead. Im assuming its designed so they dont have access to a large clear area in which to go and then kick up the earth in?

    And yes I think I have gathered that.as a gardener and cat lover I also have strong opinions and hopes that the two can go side by side with some harmony. Theres always a solution. Its just a matter of finding it.image

    Dove. If I do I most definitely will be happy to share.
  • I should think bamboo would be fine - probably better as you can push it in more firmly so that cats are less likely to push it over.

    You make a lot of assumptions Little Buffy.

    Shame you think it a hineous trait in others.



    (Makes me embarrassed to admit having owned cats less I get tagged under the same group of people).

    RSPB estimate that domestic cats are responsible for the deaths of 70- 80 million garden birds every year.

    Fish. Budgies. Guinea pigs. Hamsters etc = no problems in the garden and no stress from other people.

    Think about it. Or removing your cat flap!

  • Filmbuffy - I managed to stop cats pooping in a trough and digging up bulbs by covering it with mesh which is pinned under the trough. I have also had some success with placing sticks every few inches and at different angles in any bare patches whilst waiting for things grow up. I also just started leaving used teabags soaked in citronella oil around their favourite areas, this seems to have helped. Also make sure you wash the area they are using with washing liquid to remove the scent of them, or they will go straight back.

    Hope this helps, obviously they will then move somewhere else, but it hopefully it will be the litter tray you have provided. image Good luck
