Surfaces on which cats will not crap!

[Lucypop]

Hia

We are getting a large chunk of our garden dug up (it is on a slope and I want some flat) I don't want to lay a patio as sometime in the long term future I plan to extend the house so its not worth the expense.

Is there any surface that anyone knows of, stones or bark type stuff that the cats will keep clear of? I have 2 small children and one due in 6 weeks. Next door has around 7 cats, I HATE them!!!!! God I am going to have to stop myself ranting on about having to pick up other peoples cat crap.

I could turf it but thought some kind of stones would be more practical.

Thanks in advance!

Lucy

Cat's (being tidy and hygenic creatures) like to dig a hole. So a loose material they can dig a hole in will be attractive to them.

In the Batman films you may have noticed that Catwoman carries a small spade in her utiity belt

We obviously have some cat lovers here!

The cats living near me are neither clean nor hygenic nor do they bury their mess, quite often they just do it on our grass, thats why I find it so annoying!

Buy a cat of your own. It will defend its territory and keep the other cats out, and you can teach it to use a discrete patch of ground behind a bush which you can fork over to loosen the soil, it will then dig its own holes.
