I would talk to the owners and if that doesn't work you can call your local dog warden ( about the dog anyway) if it's bothering you and see what they can do, they might fine the owner. About the cat, my cats also like to dig up the garden and use it as their bathroom, I bury old glass jars and leave them sticking halfway up and halfway underground, the cats seem to hate these and won't go climbing around in the garden, you just have to make sure that the end is burried good in case something climbs in them and gets stuck. Good Luck!
Reply:ID ask the owner of the cat to kindly keep it out of your yard, and tell the owner that if it happens again u would expect them to take responsibility for their pets actions and to clean out your garden them self. If the owner on the other hand refuses to get there cat out of your garden tell them that it is not fair to u and the hard work u put into keeping your garden beautiful for your own and public enjoyment.
Reply:Hi, angelhousewife. There is a product that 'Hartz' puts out clled 'Help'. It is a 'stay off training aid', it is pretty good; If you have a large flower garden it will get kind of expensive. However, I have found the most marvelous natural remedie it is called 'Dog-Be-Gone' but as you will see cats 'will be gone' too! I strongly suggest taht the family be away from home (or go outside) when you start mixing this! LOL



INGREDIENTS:

2 cloves of garlic

2 small onions

1 jalapeno pepper

1 tblsp. cayinne pepper

1 tblsp. Tabasco sauce

1 tblsp. chili powder

1 tblsp. dishwashing liquid

1 qt. of warm water



INSTRUCTIONS:

Finely, chop the garlic,onions, and jalapeno pepper; combine with other ingredients in a glass jar ( with a tight fitting lid). Let the mixture sit, in a cool place, such as on the ground in a shade. Be absolutely sure that jar cannot be handled by children and that you label it "FOR GARDEN USE ONLY". Let the mixture 'marinate' for 24 hours, strain it through cheesecloth or old pantyhose(be sure to wear gloves!!), then sprinkle the resulting liquid on any areas where these pests are a problem. I use a spray bottle properly label this bottle too, and keep away from children. After a few times coming into contact with this concoction your negbhors animals should get the message. If your negbhors have children, I would give them a heads up on the ingredients so they will know that if their kids pet the animals and start screaming they should wash it off immediatly with warm soapy water, and that it is all natural ingredients.



Good Luck!!
Reply:Consider this a treat! Cat and dog crap is one of the best fertilizers for flowers believe it or not!
Reply:For the dog, speak to the owner, or stand vigilant with the garden hose.



For the cat, put lava rocks in your garden as ground cover, or try spraying the plants with cayenne and water.
Reply:Talking to the owners probly won't help b/c they let their cats outdoor and will ignore what u say or deny their cats doing "it" in your garden. dogs and cats do not like ground peppers {dried} , especially cats. put some sprinkled in ur yard/garden - u won't notice it put the animals will! hope it helps. ~kristina~
