Mortified

Absolutely mortified and not sure what to do next.

I let my Bengal out this morning and he headed straight across the mews to my neighbour opposite and climbed up into his flower pot and proceeded to poo :eek:

I shouted through the window for him to stop but he just turned round, looked at me and continued doing his business.

By the time I was dressed and ready my neighbour was already out there so I couldn't remove the offending article without drawing attention to it. Neighbour seemed fine and dind't mention a thing but I'm so embarassed.

What do I do?! How can I stop him from doing this?

He has a litter tray that is obviously not good enough anymore.
I have a simple philosophy:
Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

    Huge apologies to neighbour and maybe ask her if you can stick some wooden skewers in the pot to stop cat from doing it again?

    I think you are over reacting here. Why didn't you just say sorry to the neighbour and remove the poo? I'm sure the neighbour would be happy that you had actually bothered to remove it.

    Because I was really embarrassed. I feel somewhat responsible for my cat and his actions - I know, I know.....
