Magpie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well I think I read about it somewhere. But its really a question of logic, and works on the same principle as that Lions Poo stuff, namely that cats keep away as they can smell that a bigger nastier animal than them has marked the garden out as their territory and hence keep away! Of course it does mean that my neighbours rarely meet my eye anymore . . . .

Magpie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cat owners always claim that cats bury their poo, when non-cat owners have direct evidence to the contrary in their gardens on a regular basisI am a cat person rather than a dog person by the way, but recognise the crafty nature of the feline terrors Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/12347-cats-at-war-barry-road-backing-onto-the-gardens-of-houses-on-landells-road/page/2/#findComment-343953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Like most cats, our cat prepares the way by digging an 8cm trench, with slightly sloping sides. Then, after she has carefully curled one down dead-centre, she fills-in the trench before topping with a layer of thin gravel and - finally - a piece of moss to complete the aesthetic camouflage.

DJKillaQueen Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cat owners always claim that cats bury their poo, Along with VETs and animal scientists, zoo-keepers.......and just about ever one that ever observes animal behaviour in cats. Sure, some might do it better than others but they do attempt to bury it. And the odour of poo depends entirely on diet so if a lion eats the same as a cat (and both are well) the poo won't smell a heap lot different.

*Bob* Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If by 'bury' you mean 'crap wherever they please before half-heartedly scuffing three crumbs of soil over the top then and sauntering off to be made a fuss of somewhere'.. then yes - they bury it.

Siduhe Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you have a more than one cat household, the dominant cat tends to only part bury, whereas the junior cats always completely bury. My understanding is that a cat which only part buries in someone's garden is saying "this is my territory".

Apart from archery practice and significant investment in high tech water pistols, didn't really know what else to do about it. *name not changed for legal reasons.

But, once they get into unclaimed turf it is territory marking time.(I've posted this before, but hey...) I once had a local cat make a permanent lounging area on one of my fence posts. To deter it, I stuck some of those anti-cat pellets to the post. The cat, in order to remark it's territory, crapped on top of the post. I don't have a clue how it managed this without falling off. Had a sneaking respect for the little bugger after that, though not enough to stop me putting the hose on it at every possible opportunity.

helly79 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Feeling the pain - live at 182 Barry Road - They really go hard at it then sounds like one of them jumps into a fence and then the fight stops... have heard them fighting in the day too which is a bit strange for cats!!
