Cat poo

Cats have by law a right to roam, and presumably their poo is protected by law.

So I wouldn’t if I were you just feel very saintly putting up with it.

We have recently acquired a little stray, but she never goes outside of her garden.

We do however have a next door cat who used to regularly use our garden as a lavatory. Dog poo bags come in handy there.
Our little stray is busy defending her garden now so we only have her poos to pick up.

Try giving a home to a little stray😊😊

Nothing. You can’t be absolutely sure it is her visiting cats which are leaving the mess. Foxes use my garden on their nightly wanderings and leave their mess behind. I just scoop it up and bury it in a corner of the garden.

I do as Silverbrooks does and scoop it and bury it.
Much as I find the cat poo horrible and the scratching up of seeds and new plants annoying the worst thing for me is the havoc they cause amongst the song birds.

We use ultrasonic cat scarers in our garden front and back and they do help somewhat to keep the problem manageable.

whitewavemark2 thank you so much: the thought of the offending poo being protected by law really made me chuckle and put everything into perspective. I shall carry that thought with me for a long time!

We can’t have a cat of our own as a family member has a severe allergy to fur and feathers - it sets of asthma attacks.

A good water pistol is what you need.
Also keep any rose pruning, let them dry out and harden and scatter them where the cats toilet... their mess is quite sickening.
Your neighbour is being extremely selfish and the concerned cat owners need to step up their reaction.

I put long thin kebab sticks in the areas where I have sown seeds or newly planted. The sticks come in hundreds, are barely visible and biodegradable.
To put cats off I mix spent coffee grounds which cayenne pepper and cheap menthol rub ( Vicks type). We don’t smell it, but cats do and it masks where they’ve been before.

Cats in roaming at night are a nuisance. I would not have hesitated to return the cat poo to the offending neighbour.
Can you speak with the owners and explain that your neighbour is still feeding the cats even though they have asked her to stop?
In Sydney, Australia most cat owners refrain from allowing their cats out at night to protect the local wildlife.
Cats are also more at risk of injury from being hit from vehicles as well as being involved in cat fights and disturbing the neighbourhood with cat calling.
Good luck.
