Next door is very proud of his garden and goes mad (rightly) when he finds cats' mess in his recently laid gravel flower beds. We've tried some jelly stuff from the pet shop, mothballs, spikes on the wall (The cat just takes a different route into the garden!) Throwing water when seen! Swearing and gesticulating! Nothing works! No, I can't tell my neighbour to get a dog! There must be some way without declawing (which I will not do.), euthanasia (out of the question!) or firearms (NO!)! Any new ideas? I had to go into next door this morning with an apology, rubber gloves and a plastic bag! HELP!

Theres not a lot you can do really, though im told you can get a thing you put in you gardent that deters cats, not sure where you'd get one from

The only thing I can think of is to keep a litter tray indoors and train your cat to go in that. After a while when he/she is used to going in it you could try placing it outside your back door. Good luck!
