I believe that is the reason some people put large bottles of water on the pavement outside their properties.

Dont ask me why or how it works but my understanding is that somehow the reflections put the cats off and they move on.

Law or no law, nothing will be done about it. Cats, dogs and horses seem to have more rights than human beings.

I found cat poo on my white stoned bed. Yuk. I’m sorry if this upsets some of you but I sprinkled chilli powder and curry power onto the stones. Cats stopped using it as a toilet.

I had a problem with a cat sleeping on the roof of my car thanks to local kids playing with it there too.It scratched the lacquer layer on the bonnet in this period. I stopped it by placing a small rubber mat on the roof every night with a container with earth, pepper and mothballs in it. Mothballs in the external area around the boot and wipers also for a few weeks. It stopped and has not been back. We went to Italy at Xmas and would you believe it, a cat started sleeping on the car roof again. Must be the colour, burgundy metallic. It never went on their cars, (black and white).

That looks more like dog poo. Cats will rarely defecate in open areas like that, where they cannot cover it,  but dogs will defecate anywhere, especially when on a lead

I agree with this comment. 

It is extraordinary for cats to defecate in an open area such as that in the picture. Cats are generally very private about their toileting habits (with the exception of urine marking) and choose under cover areas with loose dirt/clay/sand to cover their faeces. This wide open space with no earth...

... or clay to cover up, is a very unlikely location for cats to toilet. I'd suggest it is far more likely to be dog faeces.
