Lawn Cat
-
Anyone here remember the lawn wolf? I salute your memory if you do. Anyway there's this cat (stray or maybe a distant neighbor's) that thinks our garden is its own personal loo. The Mrs is besided herself when it uses the flower beds, and once it peed on some of the kids' toys that we forgot to bring inside. Stank even after washing several times. This morning there was a big one right on the lawn. Stupid moronic animal, aren't cats supposed to at least bury it? Any ideas on how to repel it (without causing grievous bodily harm)? The locally available cat repellent (a) doesn't work and (b) stinks, making the cure worse than the disease. Googling reveals some rather dubious suggestions, and I don't want to spend hours guarding the lawn just to soak it with a hose.

As far as cleaning stuff they hit, normal soap and water doesn't work. Head to your local pet supply store and ask if they have any enzyme based cleaner for pet messes. Might take a wash or two but it gets the stench out.

It's all a matter of making you're area less pleasant than your neighbors. During a sojourn in a rural area we had racoons marauding our garbage at night - and they weren't shy or easily scared. Solution was a bit of lysol concentrate in water, which was squirted into each garbage pail followed by putting on the lid. When the raccoons popped the lid they quickly stopped coming back. Considering how it smells, I'd probably have been even more successful with Gin. As for the large moth . . . after checking your bio I determined your best option would be to await nightfall then hide a tweezers in your hand and lay down naked on the lawn. When he lands on you, you know what to do with that tweezers.

Something that was brought up by JSOP, I think, about the 'lone wolf' terrorist meme being spread by the mass media. I forget the details.
