Metro_Nome 17 Mar 11:02pm, 17 Mar 2024 7,409 posts	0 Metro_Nome Five cats in our garden! None of them ours. Now that a neighbour is breeding cats I think we can give up all hope of having a nice, stink free garden! I read in one of my trashy mags that plastic forks in the garden, forks up, is a great deterrent. Didn’t think anybody would particularly want that visually, but could be worth a try?
Surrey Phil 17 Mar 11:22pm, 17 Mar 2024 10,276 posts	0 Surrey Phil Nearly 30 years ago, a neighbour had loads of in-bread cats and made no secret of them using our garden as their toilet. As he thought that it was mildly amusing and that it did stink in the summer, anything I found while gardening was returned to the owner's garden.

I did that, along with old ground coffee, one or the other or the combination worked!
