Hello,

There seems to have been an increase in the local cat population. At
first I tried to adopt a live and let live attitude but now cats are
sitting on my car, scratching at the fence panels, and going to the
toilet. Things have got so bad that I have dug up a couple of
flowerbeds and replaced them with gravel.

Thereby creating an nice cat toilet I suspect. I have an area covered
in 2" pebbles that the cats don't crap on and it is easier enough to
grow plants through.

The only real deterents seem to be large territorial cats of your own
or a small cat-chasing dog. At least a dog can be trained to crap in
the same place.
