Does anyone have any ideas that will keep cats from pooing in my garden? My whole backyard smells like a litter box and I'm loosing my mind.
Someone suggested moth balls?

I'm using another method which has been 100% effective. See my post under the "Cat Repellant" thread above.

Thank you so much! I will stop at Canadian Tire on the way home! My neighbours won't have to see me freak out in the backyard anymore.

any garden center but I have found it cheaper at Canadian Tire and Home Hardware. It is in a fairly small bag between $8-$10. One bag per season is all I use. You don't need to use that much at a time. Use a small scoop to gently sprinkle over the area. Those cats will hate you.

That is a great story. Where do you get bloodmeal?

This stuff reeks but is very good for your garden and repels most animals. You must reapply after a hard rain. It should be bloodmeal only not the bone and blood meal combo. My neighbour told me that cats are "creatures of habit" and once they decide to find another "litter box" your problem will be solved. Years ago, my elderly neighbour "planted mothballs" in his lawn to keep the skunks from digging it up. I found my 3 yr old sitting on the front step with her hands cupped and holding something close to her. I asked what she had -expecting a little toad or something. I was shocked to see her holding a bunch of mothballs and asked what she was doing with them. She said "Mom.. be quiet! I want the chipmunk eggs to hatch."
