Re: Cats and Idiots.
Swimmy, My daughter has three cats. Recently, she cleared part of her garden and put grass seed down and waited for it to grow.
..but you can guess what happened, her three cats loved the soft earth and were all using it as a toilet!
She wasn’t pleased and put chilli powder over the area. It worked on the area she had put the chilli powder on but now they were pooing around the edges where there was no chilli powder!
She had to buy strong netting to deter them.
I can understand it is a big problem for you and you have worked very hard on your garden. Sprinkling chilli powder and covering with netting seems like a good idea but l don’t think it’s the answer to your problem.
Have you considered a bird scarer that goes off randomly... perhaps not!
Whatever happens, l hope you can solve your problem very soon.
