Yep, one of the most prominent features of Victorian architecture was the forest of external soil pipes on the rear of each property
You cleaned up there, too? There couldn't be much more rasher things to do.

Nightmare - don't like 'em. People tell you that they're clean animals - that's because they go and poop in other people's gardens, not in their own.
I used to shovel up the s**t and throw it back over the fence where we last lived, as the next door neighbour had at least three cats. Now I just throw anything at any cat that ventures into our garden. Most of my neighbours know, and all of them still speak to me
- the neighbours, not the cats of course

Another good tactic with cats is to get out into the garden quiet like then start going whaaa and waving your arms around as you chase the cat out of the garden, works quite well though if the neighbours see you you have confirmed to them that you are nuts.Nightmare - don't like 'em.

I recall as a much younger person, my father had the old 0 gauge in the garden simply laid in the grass, for those less familiar with 0 gauge of 50 something years ago they used 24v DC with a capacity to to handle motors drawing 5amps, as we know grass can get damp and visiting cats would sit on the track, father would turn on the track power and pussy cat with wet bum didn't sit on the track for long.
This would probably be frond upon these days but it was an effect means of deterrent.
The other option I have used is water, when I moved to britain and became a victim of the garden cat problem I rigged up an over engineered water spray bar operating off an outdoor light PIR, just remind other household residence to turn off before going outside, if not you only laugh once

Now retired - trains and fishing
When I lived in Cyprus feral cats were an issue, with early morning catchers going out, and poisoning the cats with carbon monoxide from the engine, in a sealed container. Households had their own methods, though I can't tell you what was done with a dustbin lid, rubber matting, aluminium foil, and two wires.

Spanish metre gauge in G scale (on the cheap)
Useful bit of kit, those plug-in monitors - used mine on the old freezer to discover a new one was 7x more efficient, so that had to be replaced
It's one of the things I need to do...I know I can alter the ampageHave you thought of hooking that up to Lazy Grange Bay when you're hauling a full load of puddings?
