Question Cats using my garden as a giant litter box

I've got a Queen cat that i've had for 14 years now, but for the last 6-8 months it seems like EVERY cat in the neighbourhood (and i really do mean every cat)has taken to using my garden as the local toilet, not just the flower beds but the lawn & patio. The final straw came the other day when one came in via the catflap and went to toilet in my sons car seat which was in the hall.
I've tried all the things you can buy from the pet shop to put on your garden someone said to try lemon peel but still no joy,I've tried everything nothing works.
it seems these cat are trying to drive us out of our house.
We're even talking about buying a dog just to stop this.

Does anybody know a sure firething that will work ?

Thats what we have to do Every morning, the smell is horrible we can't let the kids out the garden until we've gone out and cleaned up the mess.

Re: Cats using my garden as a giant litter box

The sonic cat deterents are quite good - got one for my mum in law and she has only had 1 cat in the garden since - so she turned it off for a few days as the cat seemed to of got used to it, then turned it back on and the cat hasn't been back.

Re: Cats using my garden as a giant litter box

You can buy in garden centres LIONS poo!
Apparently cats are then too scared to hang around.

Of course you do then have Lions poo instead but it's where you want it!

Never tried it myself I generally squirt water at the neighbours cats if I see them hanging around.(Yes I am a cat lover but I only love my cats poo )

This is why I like indoor cats, you always know where they are going to poo - well almost always

I've always found that 2 Dobermans roaming the garden help to prevent just this situation
