You can get motion-controlled water guns which you can connect to a hose pipe - cats hate getting wet (and it scares them).
nice and easily moved soil
Nice and easy if it is your own cat crapping in your own garden.
I don't care if is "nice and easy" it is still the noxious shit of somebody else's pets that I have to clear up, or if I'm extra lucky have to wash off the kids shoes and scrub out of the carpet.
Borrow a hungry python and leave it sunning in a quiet spot.
New thread how to get rid of python poo!
Introducing a invasive species in an uncontrolled manner (with feeding through the lean season) to the local ecosystem is not nature.
FTFY.
A cat really is not an environmentally friendly thing.
Horses shit all over the roads and pavements where I live.
While I think an assault rifle is over the top, maybe a paint ball gun, with frozen paint balls.

Neither is a dog, cow, pig, child etc

Me too. Not had one do it on the turf next to my bin or on the front doorstep though.
Aggressive badger leaves unpleasant mess in garden.
Wish I could get my cat to crap on the neighbours lawn. If she’s out she’ll howl and scratch at the window to come in. She’ll take a dump inside then f back off. For reference, left unchecked, her toleys stink the entire house out. That’s even with the best poo tray technology that the internet offers.
As above just get one of those motion sensor water sprayers, the cat gets wet once and never comes in again, we had an ex neighbour who got two cats and they crapped on our lawn remorselessly until we got one of those, they never came in the garden again, tbh you nly have to have it turned on for a week and that's enough to stop them dead.

The difference is horse poop is pretty much compost.
Dog/cat poo is full of all sorts of stuff that will do you anything ranging from "a bit of an upset tummy" to "dear god, picolax would have been nicer", Campylobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia, E. coli, Cryptosporidium.
Also, no horses in my garden.

SubscriberAggressive Badger?
Has he been shitting in my garden too?
Dunno, but 'ours' is an absolute unit - there's a gap under the fence where it's on a slope, and to stop whatever had been enlarging the gap we propped a large stone slab against it - no problem, bosh, it's flat on its face and old Brock unimpeded. Next, knocked a bit of rebar in to hold the slab against the gap - bosh again, rebar proved no object. Frankly now I'm considering just offering a ritual sacrifice to it every now and again to keep it sweet...
One assumes, this being STW, that you have a coffee machine? Take the used grounds from that, spread around the garden beds and edges. Cats, foxes and the like do not have the same penchant for single-origin it seems. I used to get loads, now they merely saunter through the garden and go crap elsewhere. The hedgehog though is another matter.

As long as the producing horse has been wormed regularly. There's some nasties that pop through a horse unscathed (like cows) that you don't want in or on your person. Have a look at liver fluke or maybe not!
Update.
Been using "GET OFF" gel, as recommended in this thread, for the last couple of weeks. Initially in the area that was getting crapped in the most and then, following the genius logic of one of my kids, on the wall tops and holes in the hedge where they get in to the garden. I wouldn't put it directly on your lawn though as an accidental splash on a leaf did leave discolouration.
Not seen one of the hairy little shit machines in over a week! Result.
Offered to cut an elderly neighbour's lawn at the weekend. It was a minefield of turds. Probably from the the cats that we have evicted. 🙁
hairy little shit machines - I loved their first album
I'm pretty sure lilies are poisonous to cats, you should grow them.
UPDATE
I bought some "Get Off" as suggested and it seems to have worked. I also painted the top of my fence with anti vandal paint so at least I can find out where the little buggers come from.

We've had 2 poops in 6 weeks now - shovelling those away and apply a little more Get Off seems to work.
Thanks to this thread it reminded me to get the drive sorted. Ended up removing half a shovel full of crap. Now got a full bottle of get off down there and will be ordering a sprayer. The proximity of other houses prevents me from getting a shotgun
I like the look of motion activated sprinklers. Not tried them yet though.
Litter tray works well here. Cats use it and its nice and convenient to hoy the lot over the fence next door.
Wet and soiled catsan is a bit clumpy but the Flymo the neighbours have soon sorts that out.
