Cats are better than dogs .. Smile

Otherwise I heard that some cats get addicted to citrus and eat them up ...
Anyone ever heard of it ?

That happened in a house inhabitated by 6 cats in Germany ...

Some people want to get rid of mice, but I wish I could get rid of cats.
My neighbours' cats use our garden as a litter box and it really STINKS! litterally Evil or Very Mad

uhm ...

has it a special place ?

sometimes it helps to chage that place ...
for example plant a thorny bush there or make a hide out an open place.

I plant lots of thorny plants in the garden, but there's probably always a way around them. There's a particular place in the garden they like for their poo, under a cypress tree. Nothing grows under there and the soil is very sandy. I also frequently notice traces of cat urine on several objects in the garden, like my citrus containers...

Yes, they like it dry and sandy.

Keep it moist and they may stay off ...

The dog is in the house normally. When I notice a cat I send the dog out (she's conditioned to go after cats Twisted Evil Laughing ). But the cats usually disappear as soon as I open the back door and come back when the coast is clear again...

I don't want to sound mean and assume you already tried a diplomatic solution but your neighbors are not very cooperative, right? If this is a case, a small life animal trap with cat food inside and 15 km ride to the trapped ones do the trick. I have relocated this way one rat, two cats, about 10 possums, and... one skunk last year. Shocked No regularly occurring poop under my trees anymore.

Good luck!
