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.

Why he wouldn't? Can I go and shit at your lawn then? He has the right to not wanting a cat to take a shit on his lawn that's disgusting.

[-] Rekorse@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

He's free to do something to try and prevent it, as long as it doesn't hurt the cat and its a wild cat

[-] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yes of course and the suggestions have been non harmful such as sprinklers.

How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'll take a coyote over a cat. At least the coyote is native.

Yes he has a right to do that. Having a right to do something does not preclude a person from being entitled by doing it.
