Our neighbour has been throwing cat shit across the fence into our garden. It started about a month ago when I was hanging washing out on the line and was hit in the face by a bit of cat shit thrown across from the neighbours garden. Admittedly, I should have said something about it at the time but was pretty shocked and preoccupied with getting my face clean!
Since then, we've had a growing collection of cat turds gather by the adjoining fence- it's not fresh iyswim so definitely not been laid there by a cat. After not taking the opportunity to say something the first time DP and I were waiting to 'catch them in the act' before saying something, but this morning I've gone into the garden and there are about ten turds glistening in the light scattered around the bottom of the fence; some delicately balanced atop our thyme plant and a few on the bench by the fence- there are hundreds of bluebottles making themselves at home. I've no doubt that the neighbour has chucked them over being annoyed at finding shit in his garden.
We have two cats that we rescued in November. They are outdoor cats but have plenty of space to do their business in our garden, which they take full advantage of. There are lots of cats in the area and we often have some do a business visit our garden too. The neighbours have a cat as well- although I haven't seen it for a couple of months so it might no longer be with them.
I know not everyone likes cats and it's not nice to have cat shit in your garden- but I feel like throwing shit into someone else's garden is petty and rude especially considering there are a number of cats in the area (possibly including theirs), and it's quite possible the turds don't belong to our cats.
Wibu to say go round and say something to them today or am I completely in the wrong for being annoyed by this?
