Suggestions for repelling cats

[k0llectable5]

Dont get me wrong, I love animals BUT it seems the local wandering cats have decided to use the rock path at the front of my house as a kitty litter tray.  They are digging little holes everywhere and pooping in them.  Anyone know a safe and humane way to repel these little baggers and stop them pooping on my path?

The spray I have is called Keep Off made by Multicrop and the granules are called Skedaddle also made by Multicrop.

Thanks so much for the suggestions guys.  That gives me heaps of ideas to work with much appreciated 🙂

Sprinkles I'm hearing you.  Those types just dont deserve animals imo.  Cats can be very distructive to wildlife especially birds, it's just so irresponsible to allow your cat to wander like that.  I do understand that they can be hard to contain but still there are ways of containing them to your own yard.  My cat spends most of her life inside, she does venture outside here and there but never leaves the yard because I just dont allow her to.  

I'm going to put some potted lavender out there and sprinkle some pepper around aswell see how that goes.  If it doesn't work I will then purchase some of those sprinkles you suggested.

LOL Hawk, I have 2 big dogs that are confined to the back yard.  I have no front fence, hence why these cats can just poop willy nilly on my front path.

A nearby council is bringing in a 24 hour curfew for cats. I think that is an excellant idea.

LOL
I read the title as Repealing Cats. I thought they'd really gone too far this time 🙂 LOL

What does that mean a 24 hour curfew?  Does it mean that cats are not allowed out of the house at all? Or??

Its a shame people have to spend money to keep other peoples pets off their property.

My sisters kids' guinea pig was killed by the neighbours dog when one of the kids accidently left the front door open and it followed them in. Pet owners need to be more responsible and contain their animals.

It totally is punch, thats why I started this thread hoping someone may have a cost effective solution and something that works but wont harm the animal. I'm not in a position to spend heaps of money on a repellant.  And honestly I dont really mind the cats wandering around my front yard, I just hate the fact that they have used my pathway as a pooping station.

Oh really?  Thats terrible, the kids must've been devestated.  What happened to the dog? Did they report it?

The kids were really upset and the neighbours were very apologetic. Luckily the dog didnt actually bite the guinea pig, it scared him to death 😞
