Hi there ?
Hope you can give me some advice/experiences on this subject. I'm getting very worked up/distressed about this, which I'm quite suprised by. We have a cat, I know they're very independent animals, difficult to train, etc and I'm sure our cat goes somewhere to do his business.
However, in the last month or so, our garden is almost becoming a bit of a "no-go" zone because of the amount of cat mess appearing. We have a 2 year old child, and I think I'm so upset about it because its taking away the use of the garden for him because there is so much of it about, its not the environment you'd want a child running about in. Added into the mix, we've seen the next door neighbour's cat doing it, so thats the prime suspect (our own cat hardly goes in the garden, its not him). We get on very well indeed with the neighbours and would hate this to become an issue. I want to tackle it somehow, but don't know what to do. I'm putting orange peel down, and used teabags soaked in Olbas oil (something we found on the internet as a way of keeping cats away) but its not exactly working.
Has anyone any experiences they can share? How do you talk to the neighbours about it, or do we not bother? I don't want to just live with it, I don't want to simply get into a routine of daily trips round picking up cat sh*t because it leaves "stuff" behind especially in wet weather, its not a case of picking up nice neat "clumps". I'd hate to have a garden I feel our son can't use.
Thanks in advance for your help.
