Chuck the cat shit back into your neighbours garden, make sure they see you
doing it.
They own the cats, they also own the shit.
A saucer containing antifreeze is supposed to work very well. I keep
intending to get some.

Get a power water pistol gun thingy and blast them evertime you see them in
the garden.
It wont take long for them to decide its better to go else where.
Oh and its good fun :-)

Another trick is connect your hose up pointing at a saucer of milk,
then..........

Or a one-way trapdoor on a small box and keep them trapped for a day or so.

Think positive, be inventive and enjoy the fun!

I have some bird feeders etc. Unfortunately, a new cat arrived in the
neighbourhood, and soon realised it could lie in 'pole position' under
some nearby bushes, ready to pounce.

To deter it, I rigged up a hosepipe to spray water where the cat lay. I
connected to a tap which I could turn suddenly on without the cat first
seeing me.

It sort-of worked a couple of times, but the cat was more puzzled than
startled. The third time I did it, I found the cat sitting beside the
nozzle of the spray, quietly enjoying a nice, long, cool drink.

Probably spraying the cat with something that is repulsive to them as they
are quite clean, always grooming.

I scatter untreated [1] chicken s**t pellets around the plants that I don't
want cats [2] to visit, and give the pellets a good soaking with the hose
pipe, and this keeps the moggies away for quite some time - the area stinks
like hell for a few days though.

The added advantage as well, is the stuff is also a damn good (and cheap)
fertiliser.

[1] I have found that the sanitised pellets (from some of the sheds) that
have had the 'stink' removed simply don't work.

[2] Also seems to work with dogs too - although I could think of a more
permanent way of getting rid of those!

In our little cul-de-sac a fair proportion of the houses have cats
(generally the ones owned by "empty nesters", presumably trying to
fill a void in their sad lonely lives).

However, I'm pleased to say that although we're surrounded by the
furry rats, none of them get into our garden. No tricks, booby traps,
deterents or chemicals. Just a 5 foot fence with NO GAPS of any
size and a gate of the same height, that's kept closed. There is
also nothing that overhangs (such as the shed you mention) that
they could climb onto. In places where they have got in, in
the past we have higher trelisses and branches arranged as
a network to make it impossible for them to climb, even if they
got onto the top of the fence.
One thing that might work in our favour, is most of the local cats
appear to be too fat to scramble up even the height of fencing we
have. Maybe the neighbours are doing us a favour by over-feeding
them as part of the emotional overcompensation for anything that
feigns "love".

Now, if I could just stop the wretches leaving muddy prints all
over the cars (and stop the cats doing that, too)

From the RSPB web site:

There is evidence that cats tend to take weak or sickly birds

It is likely that most of the birds killed by cats would have
died anyway from other causes before the next breeding season

However, they also give a page of ways to deter cats that won't
contravene the Animal Welfare Act 2006

But not if the owner takes some responsibility for their pet and
restricts their roaming to their own property. This is common in some
parts of the world where any roaming cat in an urban environment is
likely to be shot. Their owners either fence in their own gardens or use
shock collars to condition the cat not to venture beyond the confines of
the buried wire loop.

Odd how whenever someone complains about cats in these UK groups, all the
cat-haters seem to come out (with serious suggestions on exactly how to kill
a neighbour's cats.)

But when someone complains about dogs (which shit on public pavements, or
drive people crazy with incessant barking, when they aren't about to rip
some child's face to shreds), then they're 'just being boisterous'! Or we're
told to 'live with it'!

Irresponsible dog owners are just as bad as irresponsible cat owners. I
dispute that the majority of people would condone the actions of those
who keep dangerous breeds of dogs and/or don't clear up after their pets
.

I have yet to see a cat owner with a sensible suggestion (at minimal
cost to others) about the problems cats cause in many urban areas.

The attitude of many cat owners is to throw it out of the house to shit
in other peoples gardens and say F*** *** if anyone disagrees with this
anti-social behaviour because in law nothing can be done about it. In
the absence of any humane or legal course of action only the illegal
means of permanently deterring cats from a property will be considered
by those on the receiving end of the problem. The use of ant-freeze
seems to be well documented on the web as a cheap and effective method
of deterring cats.

We have a cat, the neighbours have a cat, the ones across the way have
one too. Christ only knows where they shit. I've never seen them do it
and never come across any of it. We also have a Fox and several other
examples of wild life displaced from across the way here they've
cleared all the trees for housing.

Some starlings and sparrows have take up residence in our eves, do I
turf them all out. Where are they going to go ?. They do seem to spend
quite a lot of time weeding our lawn of insects and dodging the Cats

Well, exactly. Cats are fastidious. If you have the kind of garden where
every inch is cultivated to perfection, perhaps a re-run of "Ever
Decreasing Circles" would be appropriate.

If you keep your cats closer to home they may scare the birds you
don't want away, rather than scaring all the birds from someone else's
garden who might actually want birds :-(

And with a bit of research cat owners would know how to restrict the
roaming of their pets to their own gardens.

As you are fully prepared to kick someone's head in for threatening to
shit on your property why are you so opposed to those who suggest the
same for the cats that actually do it in other peoples gardens?

As you well know the antifreeze would kill any cat that drank it. You
would be liable for prosecution. Your comment is an invitation for
committing a criminal act.

Can you get anti cat paint to deter vandls though?
The best vandal control is a flame thrower, but it seems they are not legal
to use.

No read this:

And you will see we have no idea what you're talking about apart from
signing yourself as "Cunt".

I guess that accurately sums someone up replying to a 10 year old
conversation.

Or for that matter none of us would really want to express such base
language on a public forum or newsgroup in the first place as most of us out
here in the real usenet cannot see what you are replying to in any case as
it expired years ago, I'd imagine.

Surely you’re familiar with the ways of Home Owners Hub? The site that
promote ancient Usenet posts as being new and topical?

Nothing humane about dumping a cat in the countryside and
nothing humane about what the cat does to the wildlife either.

Reading the comments, I think that should be people, not person,
although most, if not all, of what they suggest would be illegal under
The Animal Welfare Act 2006. However, as the article is 12 years old,
many of the cats will have passed away from old age by now.

It may be illegal but highly effective in curing the problem caused by
inconsiderate cat owners.

Nobody even knows what that was these days, so used to slagging off on anti
