I know there has just been a thread about getting rid of cats that
poop in the yard, but I have a more difficult problem that I hope
you
can help me solve. The neigbour's cat is pooping in the kids'
sandpit. Because the kids play in the sand, I can't use any hot
pepper sprays, or it will get the kids too. An additional problem is
that I live in Sydney, Australia, which is under strict water
restrictions due to drought, so spinkler systems are currently
illegal. Beyond capturing the cat and driving it many miles from
home, I am stumped as to what to do.

I'm thinking that I may need to attach some kind of physical
deterrent
to the tops of my walls to prevent the cat entering my yard at all.
I
have high (above head height) timber fences all around my yard. The
cat poops in my yard during the day (I cover the pit at night), but
I
can't keep going out there and covering the pit every time one of
the
kids comes inside to get a juice, or show me a boo boo or what the
heck ever. What to do?

Is there some kind of sticky substance I can put on top of the walls
that will hold the pepper, but won't come off if it rains? I don't
want to put spikes or anything up there that could be a hinderance
to
soemone like the fire dept in an emergency.

Ideas, anyone?
