All the villagers leave two-litre (clear) fizzy drinks bottles filled with water on their doorsteps (lids sealed). I don't know how but it miraculously results in cat mess - free doorways and stairs. Keep up the good work!

I have one that's been doing it EVERY DAY on my lawn. I wouldn't mind the flowerbeds, but the lawn is sacrosanct. Thus I have bought a device called a Scarecrow, and it really works. Motion tracker sees cat on lawn and fires water at it. Brilliantly effective and highly recommended. I so sympathise with the cat crapping problem.

However, he has read somewhere that a guy had put coffee grounds around his plants to help the soil and this deterred cats as the smell is too strong for them. Haven't tried it myself...but could we worth a go! I read your blog regularly and just read the comment out to my boyfiend as we have cats and similar problems!

Some years ago we tried growing mushrooms with a kit in a cardboard box thingy. We were in a flat then and the only place to put it was on top of the fridge freezer. Mushrooms gradually started to grow but only ever round the edges of the box, we wondered if this was meant to happen and carried on harvesting them, yum yum. After a week or so i went into the kitchen to see a very happy , smiling tabby face peering from the box having relieved himself right in the middle! He thought he'd struck gold not having to go outside for a widdle when he didn't want to - thankyou mummy! We didn't eat any more of those shrooms! Oh how I understand THAT problem!
