Neighbours cat fouling our garden

It is some what ridiculous. Don't throw the cat's poop in front of the doors of the owner of the cat. Try send the cat when it is entering in your garden for 2 or 3 days. Then the cat won't come for some days. It is a pet. The owner should trained it in a way that where it should go for poop daily as a toilet. Try to chase for some days. Then it will be ok!

I would return the "free spirited" cats poo to the rightfull owners property, video cameras that also work at night are cheap as chips nowadays if they wanted proof it was their cats poo

I like the cocktail sticks idea, though time-consuming.

My own thoughts are revolving around having something spiky in the garden on bare earth, eg barbed wire or those carpet gripper things scattered around. You would need to put something attractive over it, so that it looked nice from your pov. I wouldn't imagine any cats would want to repeat the experience of coming into your garden after one or two experiences of finding they had pricked their paws by doing so.

The only deterrent to a cat is another cat. And that doesn't always work...

Can I scoop the deposits and place it on my neighbours front door without being accused of trespassing?

Really? Really?

Whose the adult here?

Yeah good one, inflict pain and injury on an animal for defaecating on 'your' land. You could also keep a shotgun handy and watch out for birds that dare to do their droppings on your land, or even worse on the car.

I'd recommend printing a copy of your deeds and talking the cat through the finer points of boundary line legislation. Alternatively, accept that we share the planet with other species who have as much right to use its land as humans do.

My parents have this problem. They can see the neighbour's cats taking a dump in their garden so just shovel the poo back over the fence.

I bought them a cat scarecrow sprinkler:

My dad has had hours of fun watching it squirt water at the cats which tends to send the cats packing.

I don't have an outdoor tap but that looks fantastic. It would certainly keep away the cats + avon ladies, house-to-house preachers and other unwanted guests. :rotfl:

The spiky stuff would work but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to use them as I have little children.

You really are a disgraceful excuse for a human being.

Dogs are great.

Mine eat cat poo AND would eat a cat. I don't encourage either, but luckily the local cats have worked out it's best to avoid the garden these days.
