Cats are better than dogs ..
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 _________________ - Marc

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... _________________ - Marc

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  ). But the cats usually disappear as soon as I open the back door and come back when the coast is clear again... _________________ - Marc

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. No regularly occurring poop under my trees anymore.
Good luck! |
