Cat deterrent - Lion Poo

Whilst cats can be amongst the most loving and gentlest of pets when they are your own, there is nothing more annoying than to have someone else's, or stray cats, come into your garden and start using it as a toilet. The trouble with cats is that they are creatures of habit, so once they have visited an area you can guarantee that they will be back, which generally means your flower beds are going to be dug up nightly and you will have to suffer the the resulting mess and smell.

Gardeners and homeowners alike have searched for the perfect cat deterrent for years, solutions such as chimes or flashing lights right down to Lion poo, yes that right I said "Lion poo", believe it or not you can actually buy lion droppings to scatter amongst your prize blooms and rose bushes but whether it makes for an effective cat deterrent is anyones guess.

The real puzzle to me is, how on earth did Lion Poo come to be known as a cat deterrent. I mean did someone just stroll into their local Zoo and grab themselves a shovel full of Lion Poo and then drop it round their prize Begonia's. Some really creative thinking must have gone into that one.

This unusual form of cat deterrent known as "Silentroar" can be purchased by weight from several outlets including Amazon, it was the advertised item from Amazon that made me smile, there you can purchase it new or used, I would have thought that by the time the Lion has finished with it, it is already used. On the other hand wouldn't new poo just be food ?

The mind boggles.
