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.
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.
