is it definately a cat? could it possible be a fox? i may be wrong but i think cats prefer somewhere they can dig and foxes i think will do it anywhere and the poo looks similar but very slightly darker.  just an idea. in another thread someone said that man wee is good for detering foxes. if it is a cat though i think maybe if you catch it doing it then a quick blast from a water pistol might do the trick.  :)

But would a fox keep coming back to the same garden?

there are two cats around here that always poo on the lawn the only permenant cure i have found has been to get a dog, i have used the green gel successfully but it dries out after a few days or washes away in the rain
i did put those bamboo kebab skewers in the garden not sure they helped and did stab myself a few times with them too so not too successful
good luck
