Cat Shit in the garden was Digest Number 33

all

 

I'd also advise that you try to train your cat to shit in one place

as catshit is not good stuff to have hanging about all over the

place...

their shit..

 

CATS in and OUT of gardens

 

 

 

 

 

OK, there are things cat-gardiens can do to keep cats in their

garden:

 

1. Plant catnip (Nepeta catairia) !!!

2. Provide an old sink, cement the drain-hole, fill it with water,

and add

whatever you like (dead leaves, ...) for cats to watch & play with.

3. Put out a fresh bowl of water every day, so the cats don't go

searching

elsewhere en safari !

4. Keep a patch of soil loose and never water it. Cat's will much

prefer to

crap there where it's easy for them to dig and rumage.

 

And for those who want to keep cats OUT :

1. Plant lavender, rue, thyme, geranium.

2. Save orange and lemon skins, chop them and sprinkle around newly

planted /

sown areas.

3. The best way to keep cats out is to keep one spayed cat yourself,

she will

not attract others as she is spayed, and she will protect " her "

garden from

other cats. Your garden ironically gets lots of shit in it exactly

*because* it

is feline " no-mans-land " at present, and they are all trying to mark

it for

themselves and they use " heavy tactics " (pooh!) because they don't

live there

to " police " it personally.
