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?

I saw one go on to the school roof and come down with a baby bird out of the nest. then it went back four times until the nest was empty. how do you explain that to ds's who love the birds?

UCM I really hope you were joking.This is what happens when a cat is shot with a high powered rifle

cats keep the rat population down so neutering all the cats will see the current increase in rats carry on. Song birds are disappearing cos we build roads, houses, everything, in places where greenery and trees used to be.

the cat who goes in our garden, or should I say went didn't bury it, since we got a scarer thing, its not been back, I know when the battery runs out, as a turd arrives next day

Cats are the reason all our songbirds are becoming rare. All cat owners should neuter their cats to get the population down a bit.

I'm shocked - BB guns are dangerous - you could easily blind a cat by shooting plastic pellets at it

cuppa UCM?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 22:55

dogs are wanderers by nature too but i don't see anyone advocating letting them roam free like cats are allowed.

Sixofone · 20/06/2007 22:54

Sorry UCM, but that's just scary...

errr, UCM? You're sounding a bit crazed?!

pointydog · 20/06/2007 22:53

hmmmmm. Leave a crazy daisy on all day

No I regularly try to shoot strayers into our garden with a BB gun. (They are yellow plastic and from the distance that I go from, can't hurt, certainly couldn't penetrate a cats skin) I have tried it on me.

Our neighbour once complained about catshit and I offered to go pick it up, but was pg at the time and she said no.

However I am thinking of getting one of them lead pellet things........ with gas. Apparently you could actually shoot a person with them, and they would die. Well, if I find a straying cat or a geezer on my land I will shoot the fuckers.

Do you ever see the cat in your garden, six?

If you do, get a water pistol and squirt it when you see it. Might just scare the cat off.

dinny · 20/06/2007 22:50
