To feed the cat over the road so i wont shit in my garden?

[TheNewSofa]

The gardner complained last week that he had to pick up cat poo from my garden.

He made it very clear that he doesnt like doing it and wont do it again.

I know exactly which cat it is as i ve seen it sniffing round my garden a number of times.

If i was to feed the cat, would it then not poo in the garden as they dont poo on their own territory?

I think investing in a super soaker would be more effective than forking out on cat food.

Blimey the gardener is being a bit precious isn't he? I am sure he will know something about how to keep the cats out though, being a gardener and all.

It is a myth that cats bury their turds.

Sparkling cat poo thread!!

Your Gardner sounds a bit upperty op!

I also know a disabled lady with a dog

Obviously she cannot clear her garden of dog poo, but her gardener is funny about picking it up too

He only does it because she physically cant

It will make me sick cleaning it up, but im worried the gardener will stop coming if he has to pick it up

Got to love a cat poo thread thebody.

My cat buries hers. I have seen her do it Jones.

We often have fox poo on the lawn. But I feed them so I shouldn't complain really.

If they didn't poo in their own territory then litter trays would be rather pointless.

Sparkling i know you love a good cat poo thread, we have both been in discussion about it on a few threads

There hasnt been one for ages

I do think a gardener should be prepared to do it Sofa. I am sure gardeners have to do all sorts of unsavoury tasks. It's not all lawn mowing on the sit on mower.

Our cats poo in our garden and appear to have invited all neighbouring cats to do the same. Cat poo is bloody rank can't say I blame your gardener tbh. Are you sure it's cat poo if it's in the middle of the lawn and not fox poo?

I ve never seen a fox in my life (only on tele)

So i dont think there is any foxes were i live

Don't feed someone elses cat i never feed the lovy ginger that frequents my garden in an attempt to steal him

It won't stop it or you shiiting in your garden.

No - please don't feed the cat*! Use cat deterrents like those mentioned above. Whichever cat is responsible is marking territory so just make the area unpleasant for it.

*You seem really nice and obviously don't want to cause any harm to cats, so here's a slightly cautionary tale. I have a Manx cat who has various bowel conditions which, although pretty mild, mean he has to be on a controlled diet. My neighbour really cheeses me off because she leaves food out for him which he sometimes eats, then I have to clear up the resulting poonami .

Our cats don't bury theirs but have seen the older one kinda gently stroke the ground next to it as a gesture of pretending to bury the evidence

Upthe

I never thought about the fact the cat could be on a special diet.

I would go for the water pistol approach, you don't want to encourage it with food.

I came onto the thread to say special diet - I had a cat which had an awfully dodgy tummy and would poo horrible poos if it were fed anything other than its special diet food (which it hated and would beg for food from anyone else) I spent a lot of time clearing up awfulness from my garden / litter tray etc. Eventually he came home with a red velvewt collar on with a phone number inside so I could explain properly.

Tell the gardener to get a grip, it's only a bit of cat poo. It's not like you're encouraging it, it's a part of nature.

We have fox poo and badger poo too.

It's like shit city here. Gloves op gloves.

Still think your Gardner is in the wrong job though.

Get a new gardener? He does sound a bit precious Surely if you're a gardener you expect to come across various animal poo? Perhaps he just doesn't like cats.

Epic typo in the title!!

My DB was having similar problems, in that cats were pooing in his garden. A colleague of his recommended "treating" the area with human urine! So, over the course of a week, he peed in various bottles, before sprinkling the contents around the boundary of his garden. Apparently it has worked perfectly and there are no more cats!

So, peeing in your garden appears to be the answer

umm, why would you shit in your garden in the first place?

and how does exactly location of catfeeding effects your toilet habits?

I have no wise words. instead I'm just laughing so hard I have cramps!

Please don't feed someone else's cat...I don't know why people do this, it seems to happen a lot! You have no idea if the cat is intolerant to something, the owners won't know it's already eaten so will be getting doubly fed and it will keep coming back to you for more food/attention and you'll never get rid of it! I don't think feeding it will stop it shitting in your garden either tbh

Well, I congratulate your dirty protest.

However, if they are not feeding their cat, I suggest you shit in THEIR garden. Bastards.
