Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.
I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.
What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?
The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people's pets that aren't welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it's simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.
Put in a sand pit somewhere you are ok with them shitting. Training domesticated cats is an undertaking that in my limited experience comes down to giving them an option they'd prefer over their current behavior. Trying to dissuade a feral cat from shitting where they please humanely seems like a loosing battle.
It's best to just trap them and relocate them far far away. Or bring them to whatever shelter will sell these cats to more families that will then have more outdoor cats.
I m sure my neighbors will be sad. And later get a new cat.
Kill enough of them and they'll stop getting new ones.
So have you moved on from killing animals to people yet, or is that still a few weeks down the line?
Can't kill the nuisance invasive species cause it's to cute. Fuck all the local natural wild life it's killing though, birds are dumb.
That's a false equivalence, a hyperbolic statement, not worth consideration.
Why are you all over this thread sticking up for animal abuse? Creepy
Don't kill it. Just rehome it or relocate it to the wilderness far away where it can live in nature like the 'owners' want anyways
It's actually worse then that, they'll take it and dump it in a field somewhere to destroy the ecosystem there by introducing an invasive species.
