Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.
I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.
What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?
The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people’s pets that aren’t welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it’s simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.
I m sure my neighbors will be sad. And later get a new cat.
Don’t take your neighbours pet away. Don’t punish an animal that doesn’t know it’s doing anything wrong, punish the owner… by reporting them. Or relocating the cat shit to their front step. Or you can start by just talking to them
It’s not a pet if they let it roam and don’t even know where the hell the thing is or what it’s doing. They are the neglectful owners and shouldn’t have a pet. Keep your cats indoors or risk losing them.
The neighbors will be sure to tell their cat to stop shitting in the lawn. The cat will listen, and stop, surely.
Maybe they don’t realize how far they’re wandering, it’s just worth a shot is all. It’s not the only option available anyway, people absolutely can get fines handed out as well. I have more aggressive location ideas where the cat poop can be placed as well…
Who cares if they don’t realize it, they shouldn’t even be letting cats roam in the first place …they are neglectful about the cats well being by even letting it roam free outside unsupervised.
The reason to care about that is to improve your chances of solving the problem. If it turns out they are doing that unintentionally, talking to them may fix or reduce your problem, pretty straightforward.
Life has proven the opposite to me. I have multiple examples of people not giving two shits about their cats well being even after being confronted, although they claim they do but their actions are the literal opposite.
Kill enough of them and they’ll stop getting new ones.
So have you moved on from killing animals to people yet, or is that still a few weeks down the line?
Can’t kill the nuisance invasive species cause it’s to cute. Fuck all the local natural wild life it’s killing though, birds are dumb.
You must have real anger issues to be this into killing cats. Or you’re a little kid trying to seem edgy on the ‘net. Which is it?
Really not that into killing cats man, am into helping to environment though, and sometimes that requires culling invasive species. Why are you okay with an invasive species killing the local wildlife?
Why do you make costumes out of your neighbors cats you sick fucking freak?
They keep me warm at night, plus the meat makes good stews.
Die mad about it. We’re done.
That’s a false equivalence, a hyperbolic statement, not worth consideration.
Why are you all over this thread sticking up for animal abuse? Creepy
Don’t kill it. Just rehome it or relocate it to the wilderness far away where it can live in nature like the ‘owners’ want anyways

It’s actually worse then that, they’ll take it and dump it in a field somewhere to destroy the ecosystem there by introducing an invasive species.
