Cats using neighbours garden as loo HELP PLEASE

clancy

Ive offered to go half on a fence with them as i cant afford to pay for it myself, they said they didnt want to so what do i do????? and im not so lax about it cause if i was so lax about it i wouldnt be here asking for advice.. Im trying to help them in any way i can and yes i hate the fact they go in my neighbours garden and wish i could control them BUT I CANT.....

A fence wont stop them going in the garden and doing it

Well I hope people have some more ideas of what you can do because they are your responsibility and it isn't fair at all on your neighbours.

Maybe you could keep an eye on the cats and offer to clean their mess up.

Or maybe fix the catflap so it won't open and let them crap on your premises instead.

So why ask your neighbour to go halves on one?! :cool:

Why not go round to your neighbours garden every morning and evening and clear up after your cats ? Wouldn't be too difficult.

Mostly for Privacy, but i thought it might help keep them out some of the time

Blimey i come on here for some advice and i feel like im being a bad person for owning cats and allowing them outside.. never mind i'll just lock my cats up and let them watch life from the window.

Assuming it's just your cats who do it? Are your neighbours planning on growing grass? As at present their (dug up) garden is like a giant litter tray but with grass they wouldn't use it and the problem would go away of it's own accord?


We have the problem in our area but the solution seems to be that everyone gets a cat! Which wouldn't help !

See, you didn't need to come and ask anyone here for advice, as you could take your own advice!

I'm with you Clancy and I wish some of my fellow reading cat owners would care as much. If I catch my cat doing something I wouldn't like doing to my property then I get mad with him (a cuddle is punishment) and spray him with water (as do my neighbours) but there's little I can really do.

Good luck and let me know of you get a solution!
