Question
We have a lot of neighborhood cats who are using my yard and planters as their bathroom. Some of them don't even cover it up. How can I stop this?
Hi Susan,
Cats don't like to step on aluminum foil, is there anyway you can put that down for awhile until they stop? Also, moth balls are a good deterrent. I have even put pine cones in planters because they don't like to step on them. Hope this helps!
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
