Cat Poo in my flower beds?
i have to words ~~~~~MOTH BALLS~~~~~worked for me lol good luck
Reply:I've been told Lion's poo will stop cats pooing in flower beds....... the problem is, you then end up with a garden full of Lion poo instead. So yes, a tricky one, I don't suppose you have a sack and a bucket of water lying about? Hmmm, Perhaps not.
Reply:citrus oils orange peels are supposed to put the cat off going anywhere where its been put, apparently they dont like the smell.
Reply:Try a dead cat. They probably won't hang out there anymore.
Reply:Pave the area they go on, once they`ve started using an area and put their scent down it`s very hard to stop.
Reply:You know this plastic mesh with little squares, like an inch wide squares, often used to go around trees to protect them etc? Or used in plasters (tensar geogrid SS40 is one type, for instance). If you cut this or a similar strong mesh at the shape of the soil, you also cut slots to pass the plants through, anyway you got the idea, you cover the soil with the mesh, so they can't dig, so they don't go there.
Reply:toy snakes that they sell in Woolworth's works for me.Lay them around the garden and the cat will keep clear.
Reply:I have a multi cat household and I also have a lovely garden, with plenty of plants.





Cats will go where there is a gap in the boarder and especially when its freshly dug over.





I plant ground cover plants that spread so there are very little gaps in the front of my boarders and where there is a gap at the front I place an upside down plastic plant pot. I allow them to use the back of the boarder if they wish to and we compromise that way.





My garden is in their territory after all.





Bless em.
Reply:Go to your pet supplies shop. There are several sprays you can buy (some more toxic than others, so choose one you can feel good about!) to keep them kitties away from your garden altogether.





The one I recently bought is called "OFF LIMITS!" by Garmon Corporation, and is a natural herbal spray that seems to do the job. I paid $12.39 for a 32 oz. spray bottle. Needs to be resprayed about every other day.





Good luck!
Reply:You can buy sprays from any good pet store that you can spray that should deter the cats from using it as their bathroom. Dig up the soil that they've used and put in new soil so that their smell won't be there and watch them while they're in the garden, use a water spray bottle and spray them with water if you see them assume the position, this should deter them from using it as a bathroom.





You can also try putting down lemon or orange peel as cats hate the smell of citrus and will avoid putting their scent there.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Dig out all the dirt they've used as a kitty potty because the dirt will continue to attract them no matter what you do. If you put the dirt where you want them to "go" and replace the dirt in your flower beds with some new dirt, that might work. I'd put a rough shredded bark mulch on the flowers, too. It'll conserve moisture for the flowers and discourage the cats. Another natural thing you can do is put some fresh orange peels in the flower bed. Cats don't like the smell of citrus. I'd be careful of chemicals and things that would bother human noses. (Of course, nothing bothers worse than a kitty loo in the flower beds!)
Reply:My mum said Put down garlic and pepper, or shoot the b*****s
Reply:Use a layer of gravel, or pine cones, works like a charm.
Reply:When my husband moved in, he brought his cat, and it was going poo in all my flowerbeds, and digging up my flowers too. So I got some large river rock, and put it in between all the flowers. I basically covered up all the dirt. That solved the problem, and my flower beds look more decorative too!
Reply:I can't remember the spelling of this, so bear with me. But cyann pepper keeps the cats away. I know it is red.
Reply:There's a product called 'Silent Roar' which is pellets impregnated with essence of Lion dung.The cats will think a lion has been marking its territory and wont dare to challenge its authority by using the same toilet.This method of marking territory is used by the wild (big and small) cats and it works.


There is an ultrasound method which works really well which works by emitting a high pitch noise at a frequency we can't hear but that cats find extremely unpleasant so they steer well clear.It works with an infra red sensor which detects an approaching cat's body heat. It's quite expensive £50+ but well worth it..it works.
Reply:Try sitting out by your flower bed but not too close. When you see one of the cats start to go, give them a little harmless sprits with a small water gun. It won't hurt them but it will not be enjoyable. Do this as many times as you can over a few weeks and try not to let them know you are doing it. That way, they will associate the flower bed with something unpleasant. Hope it works :)
Reply:The only thing I can think of is to put some kind of chicken wire around the flower beds. This kept cats out of my garden.
Reply:I have just read, that a light spraying of WD40, around the chosen spot keeps them at bay. Try it!
Reply:Your cat thinks you are planting flowers in its toilet.
Reply:Mix it with the Mud of Flower Bed. It is a good fertilizer.
Reply:A Spray called Cat -a- pult, bought at the local do-it -all store...
Reply:Cats love dirt. They will go into your garden, and play in your indoor plant dirt too. Inside, I have always sprayed a bit a plain water in a bottle at my animals if they were doing something wrong like getting into plants, jumping on to the table, etc. As far as outside, there may be manure in your garden as a fertilizer and the cats smell it, so that's where they will go. Planting Marigold Flowers in your garden may help. Most animals and bugs don't like the smell. Also make sure you have some bone meal and/or blood meal mixed with your garden triple mix when you plant flowers or put bulbs in. I hope this helps you.





Good luck,

Reply:First of all, are the cats doing any harm to your flower bed? Are they uprooting the flowers?





If that isn't the case, then consider the "poo" as a gift. It makes for good fertilizer.





When we owned our first house we had a dog and would bury the poo on the side by the fence. Because we were new owners our tenant didn't know about this. not that we were keeping it a secret.





Summer came and we saw her planting her tomatoes in that same spot. When they were fully grown, she commented that she never had such large tomatoes before. That's when she found out where we bury ed the dog poo. From that point on she always planted her tomatoes in that spot.





So if your cat and friends aren't uprooting your flowers consider you just reveived a gift of fertilizer.





If it isn't possible to use it as a natural fertilizer, there are products at pet supply stores that you spray on furniture to keep them off. Maybe it'll work in your flower beds.





Good luck one way or the other ......
Reply:My dad had this problem and solved it by putting a few thorns in his flower bed the cats decided to do their business elsewhere.
Reply:Clap loudly and shout if you catch them weeing, and if you have a water pistol, squirt that at them. It'll put them off weeing there again.





(I do this for the dog too - when she tries to nip the guinea pigs through their run wire. Now, if she sees me even reach for the water gun, she runs for it.)
