How can I stop my cats going to the toilet in my neighbours garden?

Answer 1

if you want them to go outside, leash train them, make sure you spend a good month doing this inside before taking them outside on the leashes. it may take longer to leash train them. that way you are with them where ever they go. the also have cat cages or runways so your cat can be outside and can't get out and nothing can get in. or if you don't want to do either of those you should really keep them inside it is so much safer and healthier for them they will live longer happier and healthier lives.

Answer 2

Hard luck for your neighbour and why shouldn't he?
All he is doing is marking his boundary.
You neighbour wants to stop it? Easy.
Tell your neighbour to stroke and make a fuss of him,
Puss will know your neighbour's garden is his territory and move over to another garden.
My cat has the street and walks a long way to spend anything. Most think its the railway embankment as he is the street's cat now.
I know better when I lay whispering in his ear.
He lashes his tail around my face as much to say I'm home.
We look in each others eyes and I blink mine and he blinks his.
It's a friendly hello.
Mad, embarrassed? Not a bit he's family.
Christmas time we visit each house with the cards and the sight is watched by all.
Up and down each garden path me and my two cats visit each house in turn.
We don't buy cat food for a couple of weeks. It's his Crissy present from his neighbours

I would like to know how to stop about five cats from around my area using my garden as a toilet, I've even tried so called powders etc nothing seems to work.

Answer 4

Jeys Fluid - put this around the perimeter of your garden ~(fences and such) and this will stop them from going over. It doesn't physically harm them, it just stinks to high hell.

Also, raw chilli can be effective, but this is something you should only consider if you want somebody else's cats out, as opposed to keeping your own cats in.

Answer 5

get a clear plastic bottle half fill it with water replace the cap and lay it where the little rascals are "going" , i know it sounds very strange but it worked for me and i have three cats, as an alternate option you can buy products that let out a pulse to scare the cats away , I'm not keen on this idea it seems a little cruel and you would have to make sure of the boundary area as not to pulse them when they are coming home for tea

Answer 6

ask your neighbour for some of the soil where they go to the toilet and spread it out about 2ft x 2ft nice and lose and level on your side of the fence, take the cats to it and put them on it so they get a good smell of it then maybe they will go there, if that don't work at least there not going in yours. (loll's secrets)

Hi Miranda...Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.

"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.

Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.

For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.

Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.

Answer 8

You won't be able to. Cats never do their business in their own garden, it makes sense in a weird way.

I've used many 'anti-cat' products/ideas over the years, none work.

It's rather sad when you have to clean away the mess of a cat you don't own.

Advise them to buy a bulldog.

Answer 9

Put up a higher fence. Or teach them to use litter boxes and have them in your garden. The orange thing might also work, my cat hates the smell of orange.

Answer 10

I've heard that citrus peel works, they hate the smell.
And putting some fake garden snakes in your flowers.
Hope these tips are useful! Good Luck!
