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?

Cuddle the cat...you know you want to

get a gun then.

I think you need to start rumours that there is a lion in the neighbourhood.

Sixofone · 20/06/2007 22:23

Is it OK for dd to eat lion poo instead then or isn't that just as bad? I've tried: water pistols, holly on the ground, lemony smelling sprinkly stuff, sonic repellents, pretend ceramic cats, all the legal stuff!

oh how vile

what if it is not their cat????

there are things you can buy to keep cats off your garden

sorry, but YABU and childish

ViciousSquirrelSpotter · 20/06/2007 22:22

Hmm
It's a bit odd that you saved it all up. Throwing it bit by bit is not that bad (what else do you do with it?) but saving it up? Smelly, surely?

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 22:22

brave you are. you sure it's your neighbour's cat?

a cat used to do this once in a large flowerpot of mine so i put some cacti in it for a while.

cured the cat.

We have 3 bloody cats who come into our garden but wouldn't dream of throwing cat poo over the fence. DH says a shotgun would be much more efficient!

Very petty of you. Grow up. It's hardly their fault per se, is it?

Talk to your neighbour. Explain the problem. Ask them to pay for lion poo - it's known cat deterrent that you put around your garden.

I know!
