    Chunky, prove that you have a beautiful well kept garden full of cat muck!!!!
    i am also fed up with the cats, they constantly use my garden and dig up most of my plants and bulbs, i also have tried lots of different things to keep them off, but is only short term and the cost is getting just to much, i have been told that orange peel does the trick but yet to try this, i have also tried moving the cat dirt to another area close by to me and that did work for a while, as they did go to that area, but they are now back to my garden, i have 8 cats that ive seen on my garden, and i hate cats, so im out in the garden every day to move the mess they leave. but i have been tempted to put it on the cat owners door step to see how they like it, as the smell turns me sick"

Garden covered in cat faeces

AFTER reading Nancy Ridings letter entitled ‘Cats are filthy creatures’ in the Guardian recently voicing her concerns over cat mess I too feel compelled to speak out on this subject.

With the recent onset of spring I decided to tend to my back garden. I was accompanied by my four-year-old daughter who had chosen some seeds she wanted to plant.

To my disgust I found that the soil in the flowerbeds was completely covered in cat faeces and upon further inspection I also discovered a section of the lawn was and still is being used by cats as a latrine on a daily basis.

It is absolutely disgusting and needless to say my daughter could not plant her seeds, in fact she has not been allowed to go out at all in our garden for fear of her contracting the worm parasite Toxocara Cati which is carried in cat faeces and can cause blindness, especially in young children.

I have tried various types of cat deterrents including placing bottles of water around the area and mustard powder but nothing has worked.

If it was dogs making this filthy mess the owners would be held responsible. So why are not cat owners?
