Neighbor throwing cat sh!t on my yard

motoguy510 said:
The cats have boxes and are inside all the time now. I just saw the neighbor outside and let her know that we're taking care of the cat shit issue and that they're inside now so there shouldn't be any more problems.
One of my friends came by earlier and was asking what was happening with the neighbor. I told him that it sucks that they don't have pets but a lot of the neighborhood cats shit in their yard so I'm doing what I can to stop my cats. He started telling me that I should be fucking with them and having loud parties and all kinds of other dumb shit. I told him that it's done and taken care of and there's no reason to fight with the neighbors over something stupid. I've pretty much smoothed things over with my neighbor but now other neighbors on the street are having arguments over cat shit.:laughing

Good to hear you were able to have a conversation with your neighbor. It really all starts there, open communication.

Now go get some chocolate and melt it on the cat turds. Offer them to the neighbor as a almond roca peace offering.

:thumbup Good on you, dude! I'm all for cats being allowed out doors but there are just places that doesn't work well for anyone including the cats.

If my neighbors would have the same approach you just did I wouldn't want to stick an icepick in their ear. Sadly, I think there would be very little resistance on the icepick. :laughing
 
So if I let my dog shit on your lawn all the time, you won't have a problem with it?

I don't have a problem with free roaming or wild animals shitting where they like. If someone were to actively direct a domesticated animal to shit in my yard I would be angry about the disrespect shown by the act of directing the animal where to shit but I wouldn't care about the actual shit. I've never directed an animal to shit in a specific place just to piss someone off like you're suggesting.

So if the dog were off leash and unsupervised, it'd be okay?

I don't get angry at rats pooping in the yard, raccoons pooping near the garbage cans, or squirrels on the porch...they're wild, it happens. But YOU are responsible for that domestic animal, and his/her actions.


If I were you, I'd go talk to them let them know I see what's happening and what I've done to prevent it. Nothing pisses off a home owner more than a crappy neighbor.

This.

OP: Sounds like you've taken the proper approach and I hope it all works out for you. :thumbup

And yes, if it's a wild animal like rats, raccoons, possums, etc., then that's part of life. But if it's a neighbors pet, which shouldn't be on my property to begin with, that's a different story. And as I've mentioned before, cat shit in particular is just plain foul.

I'd be more worried about finding the owner so they could get their dog home safely. I wouldn't go looking for them so I could give their dog's shit back to them lol.

Did that earlier today. The neighbor and I are ok with each other now but now other people on our street are having heated debates over cat shit.
 
Good job keeping things cordial with your neighbor! You were right to be the bigger person and now your kitties are safe from psycho fucks.

If they end up trapping the strays or everyone takes them in, joke's on them when rats, voles and mice come by and sparrows fill their gutters. But you know, hanta virus rodent shit and corrosive bird shit is so much better.
 
Is this a troll thread? I would shoot cats with a bbgun for just being on my yard. I'd shoot them multiple times if they shat in my yard

It's called a Scarecrow and they're at the hardware store.

I've got a next door neighbor who's a bit of a weirdo and one of his cats was always shitting on my lawn in front of our living room window. I finally got one of those Scarecrows and it's worked really well. I just have to remember to turn the thing back on after the gardener turns it off to mow the lawn and also to check the battery from time to time. And the neighborhood kids get a kick out of seeing how close they can get before it turns on and sprays them. Great fun.

Like I said I've never met anyone who has seen cat shit a something to "deal with". It's never been an issue for me. My issue is that there are multiple cats on our street (along with the occasional raccoon or possum) but they keep singling me out and throwing it on my yard. If i was that bothered by a cat shit I'd just throw it in the garbage and consider it to be nature doing what comes natural. I don't care whose cat shit in my yard because that's what cats do. I am just now getting other points of view so in order to keep the peace and try to be a good neighbor my cats will be staying inside.

If you never saw it as an issue would do you care if he throws it onto your lawn?

Keep your cats in for a month or so and if they still throw shit, tell them you've been keeping your cats in and they either need to deal with animals having to poop somewhere or you'll pursue some sort of action against them.

Better yet, let them sh!t in your house for a month. Then come back and tell us there's no problem.
Cat droppings are not the same as other pets. They smell for the rest of time. Their piss is oil.

A suggestion:
create a little 2foot by 2foot 4 inch deep sandbox somewhere in your yard, the cats will use it as long as you keep it clean.

And be sure to go talk to your neighbor and let them know you built an outdoor crap trap for your cats, so any crap they find on their lawn is from other animals and need not be relocated to your lawn.
