anyone found a good way of stopping cats messing on the plot (and gravel drive)

i'm having trouble with cats leaving their calling card everywhere. i find it on the drive, paths, beds, pretty much anywhere.

i use ground pepper around the beds that i have just dug and sown/ planted in and that seems to work until things grow enough so there's no room to do their business. but i can't really apply pepper everywhere.

this seems to be getting worse and worse. to the point now where when you walk up the drive there's a good chance you'll stand in it, and in the morning it always stinks with that awful aroma.



any help and ideas appreciated.

My problem is Foxes on the Allotment - at least they keep the cats away 

Can we suggest a Catapult which could be how it got it's name

No it didn't.

The word 'catapult' comes from the Latin 'catapulta', which in turn comes from the Greek καταπέλτης (katapeltēs), itself from (kata), "downwards" + πάλλω (pallō), "to toss, to hurl". 

Why do some members always become red-necked on the topic of cats and so cause me to lock what could otherwise have been a useful and constructive topic
