How to stop my cat from pooping on the lawn instead of the yard?

Question

Hello. Please can you help? Our much loved cat keeps on pooing on our lawn. Is there any way we can get him to stop? He has a garden to go in, with soil and space to go - but he seems to insist on going on the lawn. We don't know what's the best thing to do without getting a cat deterrent - which would stop him going outside full stop! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 11 lbs

You may just need to limit Marley's access to the lawn by either placing fencing up, or trying to encourage him to go where you want him by placing deterrents on the lawn but not in the garden/soil areas. Placing out a litter box, or bringing him indoors to use a litter box may also help. As some cats do have substrate preferences, you can try placing a bit of sod in a box in your garden area, to see if he'll start going on that bit instead of the lawn you use.
