I’ve no idea where my cat poops.

[EleanorLavish]

We have a cat flap and he saunters outside occasionally. I presume he poops out there. But I have no idea where he actually goes.
I’m always seeing people on here talking about cats pooing in their own garden, or the neighbours garden or the flower beds,and the angst it causes.
Don’t cats bury it? Are they doing it on the patio? How do you know where they go?
So as not to drip feed he does wander in my neighbours house and garden, but they adore him and have never complained about him pooping there. He doesn’t really go anywhere else.

Mine only uses his tray. If he's outside then he nips back in to use it and goes back out again. I'm fully aware he is not the most normal.....

I just had to pick up a sodding cat turd from the front garden. I don’t mind picking up after my dogs but this is not on.

I think I’ll let the dogs deal with the bastarding cat. I’m sure they can sort it out.

Ollie probably wonders why you are not providing the best quality paper to wipe and a proper flush.

@YetAnotherSpartacus along with his lightly warmed towel for rainy days
He comes running back in, uses his tray and then runs back out

When did we start calling poo “poop”? I read it in an american accent and it’s weird.

I have never noticed cat poo in my garden. Foxes, yes. I think I’d rather have cats as fox poo absolutely stinks and is disgustingly sloppy with bits of bones and animal fur.

The lightly warmed towel is a basic feline right surely?

As o said before cats do what the fuck they like! Someone suggested we pick up our cats pop. How can I do that if I don't know where she poos?? Cats are climbers and jumpers, they can't be contained easily like a dog.

Easy.

Keep the bloody thing indoors.

We have had our garden gravelled it looked lovely until it became a litter tray for the neighbours cats.
If you let your dog poo in the street without cleaning it up you get fined but because cats just fuck off where they want it’s ok. It drives me mental.

My house backs onto acres and acres of farmland so one uses that. The indoor cat uses her tray then shouts for me to come and clean it.

I don't believe understand posters who claim their lawn is covered in cat poop

@Broken11Girl No worries, give me your phone number, I will phone you every time I find a cat shit on my lawn and then message you a photo of it with the date and time on so you can see I'm not lying.

I am just conjuring the energy and enthusiasm to go and shovel this pile of shit that some cat has deposited in my nice barrel planter. It’s right next to my front door ffs. My 3 yo daughter planted these plants and now they are covered in shit.

Honestly, this happens every fucking day- the temptation to go full cayenne-pepper is v v strong. I don’t care if it makes the cats paw sore, I don’t want my kids getting toxoplasmosis from their own garden.

I don't know where mine go either, not in their litter tray or garden!

This is so odd.

If I were to post that I have no idea where my dogs shit I would be slaughtered here, and cat owners just drop in and boast about it.

They go in my vegetable patch, drives ddog mad, he has to scent Mark all over it of course which drives me made!

chardonnay maybe cat owners are just like actual cats in that respect.

Effectively, we are all just to put up with other people’s animals shitting on our homes. Nice.

Yes, shit and run seems their preferred modus operandi.

Brexit if there is a litter try available for them to use at home but they are choosing to do it elsewhere what do you suggest cat owners should do to stop it? I’m not bragging I just don’t see how I could possibly prevent it.

Our two go in our garden, unlike every other cat who goes in others. We try to pick most of it up
Otherwise the dogs eat it not jealousy

Keep the fucker indoors.

I'm fed up with the amount of cat poo in my garden, there's a 'path' that neighbourhood cats take across my garden and under the fence. I am constantly having to pick up cat poo along this route (and a dead mouse the other day, can't say for certain it was dropped by a cat tbf) they use the path across my garden at all hours which makes my dog bark. To top it all, I'm terrified of cats.

@BrexitBingoGenerator does cayenne really work? I have cat shit all over and the cats use our garden as an unofficial spaghetti junction. I wouldn't mind just one cat visiting (as long as there was no shit) but they fight and squeal at each other) and scare the beautiful birds.

I don’t know scrubby because I don’t have cats; it’s therefore should not be my fucking problem to have to deal with their fetid shits all over my garden. Maybe you should invest some time thinking of a solution, since you supposedly think yourself a responsible pet owner.

Don't mean to scare people but my DM neighbour from about 20 years ago used to threaten to poison her cats. Luckily these were empty threats as he was just frustrated and one of her more decent neighbours .

Ours always pooped in only our garden, never the neighbours. Bastards.
