How do you stop cats from pooping in your yard?

Answers:
Hi Sonya.Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.

"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.

Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.

For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.

Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

Many people believe mothballs work, however they are considered toxic. Here's more information on this:
http://www.cvm.uiuc.edu/ope/enotes/showa.
MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.

You can buy over the counter anti-cat sprays to discourage cats. I had a cat pooping in my flower bed and I sprinkled cayenne pepper all over the place and that solved the problem. This might not be practical for a big yard though.

Go to the pet store they have pellets that you place around for that purpose, sorry I can't remember the name but they will.

Get some very big dogs with a fence around it.

A pellet gun filled with rock salt?

It would be nice if people would take care of there pets and not let them into other peoples property destroying it. Cat owners are the worst (I am sorry for you cat owners that are not in this category, but the others give all cat owners a bad name).
Mr hit his hand on the big truck before going to work the other day, I was out there and asked him why he did this. He said so the neighbors cats if they are in the engine will get out before he starts the truck..HELLO if there cats ruin either truck they will have to pay for it! Doubt it would do anything to the trucks though? Plus there neglected pet will be dead (which will hurt my feelings).
I have bad ra and to hit the hood of the truck HURTS.Although the neighbors kittens are so darn CUTE I thought about grabbing one of the kittens and bringing it inside the house and keeping it!
