aibu to resent neighbour slinging cat shit into my garden?

[wipeyuppie]

I have 2 cats and an elderly neighbour. I have noticed that our side passage is littered with cat poo but my young ds told me today that he saw *** (our neighbour) throwing poo over the fence into our garden and that he thought it was disgusting. There are several cats in the area. What do you think about that?

I used kebab sticks as a deterrent when they got fond of one place. Pointy ends up, of course. It could work in a veg plot, I think.

We have bark down on our front garden. We accidentally created the biggest feline toilet within 8 miles. White pepper in abundance and a normal feline deterrant spray is working so far. Next step is planting something very spiky. Step 3 is water cannons. Little fuckers.

Stop this crap about cats burying their poo.

I have seen cats shitting in my flower beds and they might flick a bit of dust onto it. It still smells and it is NOT BURIED.

Bollocks bluebobbin... the cats that shit on our bark are very careful to bury it. We smell it as we walk out of our front door, but can't see it anywhere... we have to dig about to find it FFS.

I'm really surprised by the cat owners who say they didn't realise it's considered anti social not to train your cats to litter trays - as others have said cat shit is highly toxic as well as stinky and generally disgusting. It doesn't compare with wild animal shit. My NDN cat shits all over my herbs - it really pisses me off. My mum has 3 friends who all have cats, they have all trained their cats to litter trays and have put netting over their gardens at 7 ft fence level so the cats can't get out and mess up other peoples gardens.
At the end of the day if you choose to keep a domestic pet then you should clean up after it - same as dog owners.

Buried cat poo has gone the way of white crumbly dog poo. Fact.

I'm an animal lover but FFS, if that bloody cat shits all over my garden again I will feed it poison..

If it was dogshit everybody would be up in arms about it. My house, 10 inches from my fucking front door and I have to look out for vermin shit.

If you've never given a second thought to where your cats shit goes then I've frankly no sympathy for you if it comes back flying over the wall.

It's a bit of a no-brainer I'd have thought.

I'm not sure why you are saying something I have witnessed with my own eyes is bollocks. Fine - the cats that shit in your garden bury their shit. The cats that shit in mine don't. I have a flower bed a few inches from my front door and cats like to shit there as well - I see turd on the suface of the compost! It is not buried! Do you think I am lying or something?

I despise cats. However I do draw the line at your comment re poison. I wouldn't put an animal to a painful death regardless of the fact that I think cat owners (with some exceptions) are selfish and ignorant about their animals crapping in people's gardens.

I detest cats and it's solely because they shit all over our lawn, too. The dirty little bastards.

I find it utterly amazing that some cat owners posting here believe that their lovely little fluff balls only ever shit in a reasonable place and then cover it up, despite numerous other posters telling them they have shit covered lawns!

Our next door neighbour has a huge tom cat that's not afraid of anything. He'll squat there on my front garden and shit while looking me in the eye!

Luckily for him, months of rushing out there howling like a banshee seems to have finally convinced him that our garden is not worth the hassle - next step was luring him into a carry cage and releasing him over the other side of the city.

I've never had cats, I'm allergic to them, so I've not been exposed to toxoplasmosis and am unlikely to be immune and neither have my kids. Have you seen the awful things that bug can do to an unborn child! There's no way I want any of us getting ill from it now either.

Op I can't believe you never knew that you should have a litter tray for an adult cat! Where did you think it was shitting?

"I'm not sure why you are saying something I have witnessed with my own eyes is bollocks. Fine - the cats that shit in your garden bury their shit."

Because I've seen it. I have EYES that can SEE

Fucking little bastards dig a hole, shit in it, then cover it over. Stop calling me a liar.

...and I don't give a shit. They're vermin.

I didn't say you are a liar. What I said is that I accept that the cats that shit in your garden bury their shit. I said that's fine, but the cats in my garden don't bury theirs. They are different cats, I have accepted they do different things.

Not sure why you think I have called you a liar.

next door neighbours cats dont bury it either ,they just leave it on the lawn for me to move

Sorry, I misread your post.

That's OK. I think we are together in not being cat lovers anyway .

They're still little furry shits though.

(and to anybody who thinks I'm being serious, I wouldn't actually ever poison a cat, or a rat or a bat or anything)

Just fucking sick of having to avoid piles of stinking hell every time I walk outthe front door with my 3yo.

I wish they would just leave it on the lawn... at least then I would be able to shovel it up, and stick it on the doorstep of it's owners..

It's funny how all the people who moan about cat poo and think cats should be trapped inside their own gardens with netting (wtf?) are also the one's who think they are disgusting vermin.

Personally I think that a person who has so little fondness for a living creature is . . . well probably someone I wouldn't piss on if on fire. You are not nice people. You won't accept that of course, but then scumbags never do.

TotallyLovely are you joking? Do I have to provide a public convenience to all the cats in the neighbourhood in order not to be a "scumbag?" I don't think cats are "vermin," I think some of their owners are lazy, irresponsible, and selfish.

What we are all scumbags because we dont like cat shit in our gardens when we dont even own one ! That is very rude of you and your name should be totallyrude We dont all hate the cats we just hate the cat shit !!!

'You are not nice people. You won't accept that of course, but then scumbags never do.'

Have you got access to a mirror totally? A scumbag is one that thinks leaving shit on someone else's property is ok.

Small urban gardens here back to back. No hedgehogs. Chance would be a fine thing DC would love to see one in their own garden. We hear foxes from time to time but they do not really hang about in the garden, they use it more as access to get from one road to another iyswim. So the only shit to be found (yes UNBURIED) is cat shit. I see them loitering in those spots.

and yes there is a big difference between cat and fox poo.

Well there are a hell of a lot of posters up around our area lately whinging about missing cats. When my ex was living here and his disgusting shitty pests one of those went missing too. He swore I had something to do with it (I didn't exactly keep quiet about my hatred of cats) but I told him it was probably down to someone who had simply had enough of cleaning up other people's cat shit. I hope the missing cats were not killed but I do suspect someone was making them "disappear" on purpose.

One morning last week I had 5 different cats in my garden all belonging to different neighbours. Shitting on the grass, killing the birds, stalking the guinea pigs, sprawled out on the kid's trampoline for fucks sake. I intend to buy a cat carrier this weekend and if I catch the fuckers I will be taking them far, far away and releasing them miles away from my house.

Cat owners don't like it, they should keep the fuckers indoors.
