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?

my cat spends an inordinate amount of time on my neighbours garden shed - not a good indicator of ownership IMHO

Mix it up with some water and mold it into a life-size model of said cat.

Stick pins in bottom area in voodoo fashion.

Obviously.

sorry the rest of the gang but, i would hope i had the balls to do what sixofene did.

cats should be indoor pets and have litter trays.

cat owners are bloody lazy and are only pleased for cats to go shit elsewhere.

they are a menace to birds and a host of protected species in this country.

Can I just say how much I love your use of 'turd' as a verb? Am roffling to myself.

But yes, you are unreasonable to use cat poo. Use your own.

Sixofone · 20/06/2007 22:33

You don't put your own poos in the bin though do you for reasons of hygiene so you shouldn't put any poo in should you?

So what do you actually do with cat poo that doesn't belong to you? Any ideas?

Might just pop into the garden to see if it's full of cat shit....

It didn't actually smell that much, surprisingly!! Not that I actually went and deliberately smelt it. Now that would be pukeworthy, worse than smelling your own farts.

I'm sorry all you who do think it was unreasonable but the first thing that went thru my mind was...haaaaaaaaaaaahaahahahahahahahahahhahahaha! But i hope it really was their cat or that was REALLY nasty. They probably will know. It IS near your fence. A big Whoops on your behalf

Sixofone · 20/06/2007 22:27

Oh and, I kept the bucket down the end of the garden, by the fence where said cat jumps over, hoping that the smell might act as a deterrent but sadly not

hehehe yes, but you know how it is when yo've got a 1 year old, it's not like we have sex or anything!

Do the phrases
"So, DH stalks the cat"
and
"I tipped a whole bucket of SAVED UP cat poo"
not indicate to you that perhaps you should both get out a bit more?
