I remember when I was a kid, my Mum was always moaning about this. She bought a water gun!
I googled and one of the suggestions was this:
‘Ask the owner to ensure there's a suitable toilet area in their own garden.‘
Must’ve been written by someone who’s never had a cat!  |

"BB gun?
I would have said air rifle, but it means staying up all night waiting for the cat, like the world’s saddest sniper."
Get a grenade and it won’t seem so sad. |

"BB gun?
If I caught someone shooting our cat's with a BB gun or other I'd drag them to the local zoo and feed them to the lions or Tigers."
If I caught your cat shitting on my lawn I’d do something similar. |

"BB gun? that's painful to inflict pain on any animal
I didn’t say I’d do it. I just said it would stop it shitting on the lawn.
It's what you meant and you know it."
The question mark suggests otherwise. |

ive tried
the sonic scarers

any more ??????"
Have you tried the spray you can get from garden centres? Cats foul where they can smell other cats have been, the spray masks that. The one I used was a strong orange smell that was obviously pleasant enough for me but stopped cats being able to smell each other in my garden.
You spray it every few days and can even supplement it with granules shaken in problem areas.
It doesn’t harm the cats (or any animals) as it’s not toxic. Worked a treat for me.
Either that or you could dress up as scooby doo and patrol at night. |

I had an ex-racing greyhound and let him out to piss in my garden. I didn't see the cat, but he did. He caught it and threw it up into air into the neighbouring garden. A while later saw the same cat in the garden , with shaved fur and scars.
It obviously didn't learn from the experience.
Follow the cat to its owners and deposit one of your own turds on their lawn. |

Until owners are made responsible for there animals.
By a cat shelter/run or dog shelter/run and not use the boundary walls.
Its a shelter cage for there animals to be free enough but not cause an issue with neighbours.
You will always have the trouble.
The best way is a sprinkler connected to the water mains pressure via an electronic valve thats connected to a heat sensor device.
But remember to turn it off when your in the garden. |

Animals are animals full stop ... cats aren't that trainable and mine insisted on shitting in my own garden which meant I could clean it up. It's a continuation of dog owners that don't or even worse leave the poo in plastic bags! |

You can cat proof your garden, put some rollers on top of your fences.
Are you absolutely sure it’s cat faeces? Cats tend to bury their poop, however dog and foxes will deposit on grass. |

Jeyes fluid is poisonous, use that and the cat dies, you will be done for causing unnecessary suffering not to mention vet fees, and all sorts.
Owners can’t do anything about cats roaming as cats have the right to roam, unlike dogs. It’s true that some cats can be trained to walk on a leash, some even like it, but you can’t train them all, unlike dogs, they can be trained and at any age too. |

Some cats can be very lazy clearing up after themselves. Dogs will shit anywhere just like on the pavement. |

Think the same should apply to children then, maybe one of those long collars and leads they have on horses so they can roam round the garden but not escape to anywhere else  |

Oh I do love a stereotype.
As a dog owner for over 30 years I've never done either of those things.
It's a tiny minority that do.
My dog has never shit in a neighbour's garden or killed another animal.
Cats should be on a lead same as dogs. But oh no it's a cat, it's not natural. It wasn't natural for dogs at one point but it is now.

Let's face it cat's faeces is seriously bad for women that are trying to conceive or especially who are pregnant, leading to miscarriages
It's really not nice to have to clean up other people's pet faeces ...
But we can't stop cats being cats and we can't be abusive to anything, let alone animals
So let's read/Google the how to deal with this as educated, sympathetic human beings ... and there are ways including being better pet owners |

Obviously this 'tiny minority' must all live in Cheshire then, because the canal towpath near us, the public footpaths/trails that cross the fields, the hedgerows and woods are the favourite places for this tiny minority to rid themselves of the little green or black bags full of stinking dog shit! And the requirement to have dogs on leads is law to probably lessen the chances of them attacking other dogs and animals, and people?
If you or other dog owners don't like the rules of law in owning a dog, don't have one, plus how would you keep a cat on a lead, it would be interesting to hear your ideas on this? Just ridiculous! It isn't nice when cats leave a mess in your own or somebody else's garden, we're fully aware of that as we've owned cats for thirty years, but cats are a complete opposite to dogs and cannot be trained/disciplined in the same way as dogs can? As for being a stereotype, the homeowners that have to clear up the mess from the pavements outside their house would beg to differ on that tag? |

My cats must be a neighbours dream. They sit and wait for me to let them in and then use the litter tray .. then ask to go back out again.
Although both the bengals will use the toilet.
Its not acceptable to hurt animals and If I ever caught anyone harming one of my babies will be in trouble. Thing is I get animal shit in my garden but its not cats |

I’m not often flabbergasted by threads on fab but this one has done that. Some of the “suggestions” really do make me wobble my head. In utter fucking disgust.
Have a word with yourselves.
Cats are beautiful animals. Quite honestly some of those suggestions above want putting into a rocket. And shoving directly up those particular posters arses. Hard. |

Have a word with yourselves.
Cats are beautiful animals. Quite honestly some of those suggestions above want putting into a rocket. And shoving directly up those particular posters arses. Hard. "

"thanks for the advise
i do keep the grass short
lion roar pellets = doent have good reviews on amazon
what does jayes fluid do ???
i hope not a poison
Jeyes fluid is poisonous, use that and the cat dies, you will be done for causing unnecessary suffering not to mention vet fees, and all sorts.
Owners can’t do anything about cats roaming as cats have the right to roam, unlike dogs. It’s true that some cats can be trained to walk on a leash, some even like it, but you can’t train them all, unlike dogs, they can be trained and at any age too.
Train the owners then
To do what? Follow their cat around with a plastic bag?"

"BB gun?
I would have said air rifle, but it means staying up all night waiting for the cat, like the world’s saddest sniper."
Digusting.
I have seen the results of cats shot by air rifles and its not remotely funny.
I had one with a pellet lodged next to it jaw. |

The plants would be a safer option as they grow you can spread them around more each time just like certain bugs don't like them that leave parasite eggs on some it's harmless good for the environment and other insects |

Befriend one and hopefully it will keep the others away. I have a cat who has a drink of water from a tray I've put out. Been visiting for nearly 6 years and keeps rest out. They are also less likely to mess near a water source. |

"Causing injury or death to small mammals.
Total lack of empathy.
Disregard for the law.
These are the three clear signs of psychopathy, seems to be a few on this thread."
True but at least these threads are great for blocking purposes |

Alot of people have experienced a cat being shot, ran over, harmed etc so no it's not funny. |

Many people see cats as legitimate targets for their sadistic gratification. I've saved a few stray or feral cats over the years - they are often so traumatised it can take 3 months or more to gain their trust. K |

Sprinkle curry powder on your grass the cats don’t like the smell apparently. Tried it on our grass and it worked a treat only took a few applications over a month and they seem to have got the message. |

Quite so. I'm sure people on here are only joking about harming a cat, but legally they're classed as wild animals so have as much right to poop in your garden as birds, hedgehogs, foxes etc. The maximum penalty for cruelty offences (causing unnecessary suffering) was raised from six months to five years and/or an unlimited fine in 2021.

Start a poo patrol club in your neighbourhood.
Those with cats have to visit the gardens with the poo and scoop it away.
Combine this with the making friends thread and you've made friends for life! There'll always be a need for scooping poops |

"Y’know what annoys me? Horse shit. How come horse riders don’t have to pick up after their animals?"
Aye I can really see them dismounting in the middle of the road to scoop up shit
Scoop it up and stick it on your roses |

"Befriend it and start feeding it, when it gets comfortable for you to pet then pick it up and put it in your car. I’d then suggest a nice long drive and release it back into the wild "
My cats all have tracking chips in them. The alarm on my phone goes off if they go more than 500 metres away and I can track them globally  |

Is that in case they feel like getting a whimsical flight to Paris? |

Or join one of those community groups in your own area shit flyers just keep sending it back and forth... But if you find out whose cat it is box all the poo in a parcel box wrap up the box nicely in lovely wrapping paper don't forget to set the trap inside so it pops once the lid is open... You'll get some tips from those in USA who set these traps via YouTube |
