Hi folks,

My wife and I live in the countryside and have a fairly
large garden.   We don't keep any pets or animals but there
are several cats belonging to neighbours who regularly pee
all over our garden.   I assume this is some sort of
"marking the territory" behaviour and I'm sure it's normal
for the cats to do this but it is a bit of a pain when your
front door stinks and you are afraid to leave things lying
around in the garden in case they get soiled.   I was
planning to buy one of those 2-seater beach chairs and make
a small sandy area by our pond but I'm sure the cats would
pee all over it.

Does anyone know of any way to stop the cats doing this?
We are looking for an effective solution which does not harm
the cats in any way.   Not being cat or animal lovers we're
not sure what to do.

Many thanks for any help you can give.
