I do feel for you, and yes unfortunately there are many who 'keep' animals yet can't even look after themselves. My two cats were neutered immediately at 9months, and the prices that charities charge for this service there really is no excuse. On another tack, I have maybe 6-700 bulbs in my front garden and to the side of the house, out of them, 40 are 'expensive', ie 2 types of pink daffs which my OH really likes. Each bulb was £1, damn squirrel yesterday dug up and ate 4, didn't touch the cheapos!
We all have our own little battles, but chinup, got to keep hanging on in there. On a side note, jeyes fluid soaked into tea bags, or Mr muscle cleaner sprayed onto tea bags buried just under the soil where you don't want cats digging seems to work for my family and friends. Good Luck !
My sister bought me some Zoo Poo which is from a big cat scat if you'll parden the pun not sure if every Zoo sells it but I will get some from my local Wildlife Park when this lot runs out my garden is a rat run for cats now they duck and run lol!
The battery powered cat repeller works a treat for me. I do have to keep moving it around though. My neighbour is thrilled with hers too. The definitely make a huge difference. I think we should have laws like they do in the US, where cats have to stay indoors.
I use diluted white vinegar where the cats deposit they they don't like it iv,e watched them go to the flower bed and sniffed the rub the snouts and mve on...it works for me.
I lay a 2 litre pop bottle on its side half filled with water on the edge of my front lawn over a month ago and had no problem since with cats, before they were pooing on my lawn weekly
I've tried the lot, twigs, twigs with thorns, pepper, citrus, netting, string, half filled bottles, tin cat scarers, jeyes fluid, coal tar soap, i've just about given up with the front garden and now they have started on an area of the back garden. My question is if cat owners provide litter trays will their cats still do it outdoors?
there's a small electric fence enerjizer (brocot) on ebay £30 it runs on 9 or 12 volt batteries !
iv'e bought one but have not set it up yet so I'll let you know how i get on with it ,I intend to run it across the top of a 6ft fence that they use as a rat run

Yes.
Not nice is it.
Yes they will. Cats defecate as territorial messages as well as "just because they need to go"
