Cat messing in my garden

[Proserpina]

I have used monofilament line as a invisible barrier against deer. You could run some low height wood stakes and whilst stringing the monofilament make sure it is of low strength so that a cat would not get strangled. The encroaching cat would bump into the string and hopefully retreat. I am not too sure what would happen if the animal got entangled/buggered - but then again people in the UK are fond of letting pussycat out vs. keeping them inside. There was a documentary about this UK-based phenomenon a while ago.

You've never actually watched that, have you?

I would be happy to have the free fertilizer.

Yup...Shi...poop is very good for the garden.

Problem is that it's not so good for the humans tending the garden.

Then again, OP probably has a landscaper/gardener service.

Cats dig a hole to poop in... And cover their...poop. And Landscapers and Gardeners are human.

Yep...cats don't just poop in the grass. They dig holes in the flower beds.

I know.

It's that simple.



Yes, others, I'd appreciate the poo, too!

What's your point? And if you are being snarky - I'll use a English term. Bugger off. Cool.

The point that everyone is trying to make is that its a little over the top to be this upset about a cat pooping in your flower beds.

And if it wasn't THAT cat, it would be some other cat, or a squirrel, or a fox, or a rabbit or any other creature that likes to inhabit gardens. Unless you want to enclose your entire garden with a greenhouse, you are going to get critter poop in your garden.

Perfectly stated what ever side of the "pond" you are on!!

ROFL! He says, to the resident Brit.

Who responded in kind, "Lighten up, Francis".

The point went completely over your head. You wouldn't understand.

Isn't "bugger off" kinda like "f" off??

Um....that wasn't my point actually.

It's more about the difference between what does and does not actually constitute a documentary in the UK. Needless to say, BenT (who does seem a little too bent out of shape, to be sure) took it far more seriously than he was meant to (the "documentary" report, not this conversation... although... )

Well, that was as clear as mud wasn't it?

A job well done

Eh, sort of. It has more letters. Although it's probably more socially acceptable than the other.
