Lion poo. You can buy it in garden centres.

A neighbour's cat likes to lurk under shrubs near our bird feeders and bird bath.
When I remember I strew some prunings from a very prickly pyracantha underneath! We've had cats and loved them, but we love our birds rather more than we love other people's cats now.

I like the idea of the high pitched noise - must look into that.,

I don't think there is much you can do cats will wander their neighbourhood especially at night. Day time a timely squirt with a water pistol might discourage them. Food is bound to bring them in of course at least the cats will discourage rats.

Our gardeners bought us a small piece of equipment that detects movement and emits a high pitched noise which scares away cats and foxes. Look online.
NB you have to turn it off when small children visit as they can hear it.

I use a field camera in the garden to records the hedgehogs and any wildlife which visit.
This week I have seen two different cats in the garden at night never during the day.
Does anyone have any idea of how I can discourage cats.
Is this possible,they tend to eat from the food dish I put out for the hedgehogs.
