Last week on To Buy or Not to Buy (BBC1) they mentioned a Gravel which
cats dont like to poop on. I missed the programme did anyone see this
if so what sort of gravel was it.


thanks

Gravel with dogs on?

I'd have thought cats prefered a freshly dug flower bed but there you
go.

I didn't see the programme, but, as a general rule, avoid pea gravel and go
for at least 10mm grid chippings. None of my cats even like to walk across
the stuff, much less use it as a poop tray.

Not my experience I'm afraid :-(

Thats my experience as well - although I don't have cats of my own. Few
instances of poo when first laid down, but that stopped & its been clear
ever since.

Larger gravel also tends to stay put & doesn't move about & expose the
fabric underneath.

If it's a largish area, we've found that animals don't like to walk across,
or poop, on our 20mm granite gravel. Even our dog walks carefully around the
9" blocked border rather than crossing the drive. Having said that, 20mm
gravel looks a bit out of proportion is smaller areas.

I had a cat which used to poop on
the patch ground just outside the
back door.
I dug the whole plot out to a depth
of six inches, put in hardcore &
topped it off with portland
chippings. I then sprayed it all
with one of those Cat-Off type sprays.
It had no effect on the cat at all,
just made it more difficult to clear
up the mess!

next time you dig out, put the cat in first.....;)

ours climbs onto patio tubs on the terrace for a sh1t, leaving
compost, bulbs etc strewn all over - lazy bstad!

ISTR usual recommendation is 20mm gravel to deter the feline feckers

Some nice Lilly flowers will stop that.

I'd thought Cats never used their "own" gardens. They all use mine
