[tartanhaggis7]

let me start by saying i'm not a cat HATER but when uve tryed NUMEROUS ways to prevent them i can c why some become !!!! 2 days ago got a present so i moved some rocks around the f/bed my prob is ive got a cat that SHITS and can't be arsed 2 bury it !!!! IRONIC thing is its between a lavender bush & bowl with 3 cat " preventive balls " suppose i'm LUCKY its no shitting in the bowl HELP

We had two dogs and the cats still came in our garden when the dogs weren't out.

I dug a patch of ground over for vegetables and the next morning there was cat shit on it - cat shit really isn't safe in a vegetable patch as it can contain all sorts of nasty pathogens. It's absolutely vile.

I really wish cats had to kept on their owners property.

Cat shit isn't good for soil or plants or humans. It needs two years of decomposition to make it suitable.

Hmm, having picked up 3 on Tuesday DP said he picked up 3 from the drive yesterday and has just picked up another 4 when got home this evening - all fresh, and sloppy - that's not normal for cats is it?

Before this week we only had the odd one or two a month (one or two a year before the dog died in the Spring).

are u sure its cats i thought cats were the phathom 💩 but ltr fund oot it was a fox still giving me hassle!! buying a sonar repellant seems to be the only solution gud luck

I'd be surprised if it was a fox as it has been daytime, and my hens haven't been at all disturbed.

I'm now going to google animal poo (as I don't know where our pack of Plop Trumps are - I got sidetracked into goggling Plop Trumps, we got our pack through someone who knew someone and sold them through the PTA the year they came out https://www.bbc.co.uk/threecounties/content/articles/2008/09/03/peopleploptrumpsfeature.shtml).

Definitely doesn't look like fox, but on a cat poo chart it looks like that cat should be going to the vet!
I'll have a check this afternoon and if there is more of the same I'll post on the local Facebook page in case someone doesn't realise and their cat might be unwell.
