    Re: Garden= cat toilet

    The first thing that comes to mind is an Arduino-powered tripod-mounted mains-water-fed hosepipe with a webcam, actuator/server to aim & trigger the release of water jets. However, it would be subject to theft & abuse by local yoofs, and would also target children & postal workers unless you include a human-initiated sleep timer.

    I actually have an unused custom controller from http://projectsentrygun.rudolphlabs.com if you want to pursue this...

    Despite years of doing this I still find it difficult keeping up, climbing 2m high fences and running across them in a cat costume.

    Re: Garden= cat toilet

    I think i'm going to go down the route of making it hard for them to gain access by getting some of those spike strips, which will also help when the Zombie apocalypse comes into effect, then if if one eyed limping willy makes it through my defenses (i'm banking on him being the most trouble as he looks mean as f*** with all his scars etc) i'm gonna have some of that spray you can buy to ward the little ****bags off.....if they get past that than i think i have no options left but to buy 2 of those PIR noise cat deterrent gizmo's.

Once you've taught them where the toilet is, they'll keep using it (like realstock's cats going back inside to use the litter tray).
    Love this! But why not just put a litter tray in your kitchen and leave the back door open? Bribe them with bits of chicken and tuna to get them in and they will soon stop using your wood chips! Happy days!
