Un rouleur infatigable
I’d have loved to go out on the bike, but the alternating snow and sleet is a bit heavy. :sad:

When I went to put the empty milk bottles out I discovered that a cat has used the bottle container as a litter tray. Sorry to those who love them, but cats really are the most disgusting animals. If someone's dog had been let out to roam and do that there'd be outrage. xx(
You could argue it was quite clever and better than on your Doormat!

We called off this morning's ride because with the gale that is blowing there is a real chance that I would be fishing my retired ladies out of a ditch.

Its been a hard slow ride out, riding the farm road earlier on and across the top of the ridge I was up on the pedals flat out and still couldn't make double figures

Just as a thought experiment, if I had a small dog like a Chihuahua and just let it out every day to roam about and sh1t wherever it felt like it, would that be OK? How about a Jack-Russell-sized one? I have a real problem with cats filling my garden with their foul droppings.
It was an observation not mounting a Cat defence. Not a great cat lover BTW but it did strike me as it could have been a bit worse than in the milk bottle holder.

Have you tried this https://www.ocado.com/webshop/produ...=85471011&parentContainer=&voucherCode=&dnr=y

Suitably for the Mundane thread I knew the rather eccentric inventor of this, who much like you had got cheesed off with Cats fouling his Garden. Long since sold up,

I have tried something similar, and it didn't really work unfortunately. I think anything strong-smelling might deter them a bit but not for long. The only time I didn't have a garden like a cat-litter tray was while I had two dogs who loved to chase them.
I wish I could train ours to go outside, they even come in to use their litter trays (note plural) then begger off out again.

Many moons ago as Pet Product wholesale delivery driver I had a random new customer come up, normally wouldn't deliver to a home addresses it was in Peckham I had 30 x 25kg of Fullers Earth cat litter to deliver to a "Cattery" honest truth it was up 3 flights of stairs\lift and it was a one bed flat chocked full of litter trays and cats and the experience completely and utterly cured me of Cat Litter trays, forever!! I couldn't get he smell off me or out of my nose for bloody days there is only so much breath holding you can do whilst lumping 25kg bags on your shoulder. Stick the litter trays outside.. :-)

Back in the 60's and 70's it wasn't a thought experiment but dogs roaming the streets and leaving turds all over the pavement was real!
