How can I keep cats off the garden?


Next door but one neighbour has a 6 month old cat that has taken to digging and pooing in the bark on the front of our house! I've caught her at it so know it's her.

Every single morning now for a fortnight I have had to go out and sweep the bark off the path back onto the garden.

I went into Wilkinsons yesterday to get some repellant and was told it was the wrong time of year to buy it, as it's put out with the garden stuff in the summer! So, do cats not dig in the winter??

We'll be putting the Xmas lights up soon, and that includes 4 tiny Xmas trees with lights on that I put between the bushes. If the cats still digging, it'll go through the wires!

Get your OH to walk around the borders and pee!! Apparently they don't like that. He may want to do it under the cover of darkness.....

Must be a lazy cat that doesn't dig though... my cats were so funny, they both refused to go outside full stop and I would find them flying through the door to run to the litter box and then run back outside again!
