    Great solution Bonsai-Marc!

    Edd - the graphic displaying a cat being targeted by a gun has been removed - such an image is not appropriate on this forum. Please avoid posting anything similar in the future.

    Thank you,

    Thank you, Nora. I was trying to think of something to say to Ed that was suitable for this forum!

    I'm an expert at building cat toilets.  Every time I prepare a bed, or carve new space in the garden the cats comeimage.  Some of their choosing is odd, there is a great space for them to use outside our boundaries but they simply aren't interesed!

    My brother sacrificed his raised beds for a play space for his son, and put down loads of wood chip, only to find that every cat in the neighbourhood thought it a great area to tend to their business.  I suggested him build a purpose built cat toilet in a remote corner (he has his own cat).

    Lucky your cat took the bait, when I was young our cats used to scratch up the carpets.  My Dad went to the trouble of building a cat house with leftover carpet for scratching.  The cats didn't blink an eye at it and carried on regardless!

    Great idea providing a solution for a common problem.

    My better half continuously moans about cat dirt in the garden, but I'm the only one who moves it on.  Cat's have to go somewhere, and however clever they are, they might not respect some human boundaries.  I'd rather love them than taunt or scare them.

    I wondered why a local cat always goes under the neighbours' eves, but it makes sense now.  It's dry!  I thought it was just because it was out of sight.

    Great idea Marc I may give this a try myself.

    My cat annoyed me immensley the other day, she was outside for around 3 hours, came in and left an H bomb in the litter tray then departed outside again.

    Cat, there is a field out there, what was that all about? Doesn't want to get her paws dirty probably.

    I have the opposite problem, I wish my cats would come inside and use their well tended to large litter trays instead of using my bloomin garden image and probably the neighbours gardens too lol.
