To throw cat poo over my neighbour's fence?

I suspect I probably am but have had a few glasses of wine so here goes!

My neighbour's cat turds all over my garden and it's really pissing me off, especially as dd crawls around out there and will eat anything. So, DH stalks the cat, surmises that, because it spends an inordinate amount of time statistically on one particular neighbour's flat roof, it must belong to them.

So, I tipped a whole bucket of saved up cat poo (I mean, what else can you do with it - it surely isn't nice to put it in the black bin with your food waste?) over the fence, so it is now sat there in a rather suspicious looking mound. Some of the turds have gone mouldy. I expect my neighbours will see it in the morning. I have now had to throw the bucket away. Do you think they'll think it's me, or just a rather large cat? AIBU for being a cat poo thrower?

Well keep them in then, don't expect other people to enjoy your horrible cats shitting in their gardens.

i would hope that if i shot at a cat, it would die.

i wouldn't otherwise want to cause it anymore misery than is necessary.

please throw a ball at the cats, don't shoot them. My cat was shot last year and it was horrible..

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 23:13

so because it is a domesticated animal's nature to stalk and kill it's ok to sacrifice what little wildlife is left in this country to them?

I have the same problem, bloody cats leaving piles of poo (and sometimes little pools of diarrhoea) in the gravel outside the front door and in the flower beds. it's never buried.
I wouldn't chuck the poo though unless I was 100% certain of the owner.

cats don't control the rat population...would love to know were the person who said they do, got their facts from.

I am not getting into this argument again with Kerrymum, we have been there before
but I really hope the people that think shooting cats is ok are joking

They're not killing for fun - they're following instinct.

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 23:08

dogs are pack animals and if you let them roam, as they would prefer to do, they would form packs and well, roam.

cats destroy an inordinate amount of migrating birds. they are tired, hungry and almost oblivious to the presence of a stalking cat.

the doormouse, some fieldmice and voles are high on the protected species list in the UK and cats take those home as presents to their owners.

would rather see a domesticated animal controlled than watch the wildlife disappear.
