This is why using Lion Dung is supposed to work to deter them of course.

A shotgun works better.

Really, you sit around for 24/7 waiting to shoot a cat.

I shoot them with a water pistol.

but you still wait around 24/7. Seems more than a full time job to be haven't you anything better to do with yuor time ?
Most cats prefer hunting at night too.


I don't wait around 24/7. If I see a cat about to **** in my garden I
will shoot it with the water pistol. Maybe it will think twice before
using my garden again.


It might think twice but it's unlikely to make it change it's mind about where it wants
to ****. Cats tend to take the same path and do the same things they did before if they can. I've heard that curry powder or pepper can work.


Tried it. Does not work.

and will do what they can to please you whereas cats have a mind of their own and do what they want.


But, IMHO, if people have pets they should take responsibility for
them. If cats cannot be controlled, then people should not have them
for pets.


I think this is worse that a few bits of **** in a garden or the crap left on pavements.

Yes. This is worse, but cats are still a problem.
