Hey everyone! I'm really struggling with a situation where cats are pooping all over my garden. It's reached a point where I can't even let my son play outside! I'm looking for any effective strategies or tips to stop this behavior. Are there specific plants I can use or any tricks that have actually proven to work? Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried cat repellent? Just scatter it around every few days, and it trains them to stay away since they’ll associate your garden with something unpleasant. It’s pretty effective!
One thing that really helped me was covering any bare soil with something prickly, like holly sprigs or rose prunings. It’s not foolproof, but it’s worked for me in the past! You could also consider growing plants that are thorny along the edges of your garden to act as a natural barrier.
These motion-activated water sprayers are great! They’ll scare off most cats without hurting them. I've tried all sorts of things like chili powder, but they just ignored it. The water spray is the real deal!

Totally agree! That motion-activated sprinkler will keep them away for sure—it’s a game changer!
