    My cat keeps going to the toilet on my vegetable patch. Any time i catch her i run her and try my best to make the point that that is bad. Has anyone any suggestions in what i can do?
    Thanks a lot

    I have 2 cats and only grow veg in the ground that will be cooked. Salad crops are in pots. There are products you can put down, but they never work for long - rain washes them out.

    They seem to be hugely attracted to these areas. I had the same problem with a neighbours cat and rather than let it infuriate me I made a frame and got some neeting and covered the area. Left one small hole and he got in, but now I have sealed that so there is a truce :D:D

    Netting is really your only bet.

    Though coffee grinds (used) keeps cats away too.
    If you ask your local coffee shop they will probably be only too glad to give you there leftovers.

    Orange peel works too :p

    Train it to use a litter tray with fullers earth material (Lidl) Keep it in at night, it will use tray, the scent will make it use it all the time. My cat come in to use the tray!
