To throw cat poo over my neighbour's fence?

[Sixofone]

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?

I think we have to shut up now or the Mumsnet pet lovers may delete this thread.

Nice to meet you all.

you have to post it if you do weebles, i shall be thinking of this tomorrow at work!

oh but ucm...you are a pet lover dont forget.

Our cat-next-door is called Saddam. Throwing his poo back could get dodgy...

I will post if I get a reply lol. Kittypoopoo might take offence at my question though.

I love pets - granted not a dog lover, but I don't wish them any harm

If you're off UCM, do give Mini and Stumpy a big fat kiss and cuddle from me x

YOU forget I got a bloody kitten 10 years ago when I was nice what had a weepy eye.

I fucking hate cats!!! I liked them once, they were sweet fluffy kittens. But now they want to sleep in the places that my beautiful newborn wants to sleep or play. I hate them.

oh and from me too because i have to tear myself away from this thread now. give mini and stumpy big cuddle wuddles and fluffyness from me. "MWWWWAAAAA"

Nite Girls.xxxx

no you dont ucm

ADMIT IT!!

Oh UCM, you are a girl

My poor little moggy came home one night with a bullet wound. It tokk the vet 4 days and a bill to get her back on her feet.
I would much rather if somebaody came and knocked on my door and said 'your cat has been shitting in my garden'. There are things yu can do to stop the poo.
I would gladly have a litter tray in my own garden for example.
In my village there is a problem with cats being tortured...heads found with no bodies, very nasty, and the assumption is that anybody who could do that to a cat could do that to a child.
UCM I hope to my god that I never live near you.
There are such things that we call food chains.
And the RSPCA would not let you have a cat unless it can go outside.

if the the rspca won't let me have one if it can't go o/s then they can stuff their bloomin cats.

too many cats, not enough recipes, i say.

Cats are a form of vermin. They think they own the world and can piss and shit where they please, the only good cat is a dead one. Now we have a dog and one of the first things we taught her was the phrase 'kill the cat'. They are alot less cocky now with a well trained boxer to bite them and guess what no more shit in the garden. My dog is walked on a lead and ALL her poo is picked up and disposed of in proper bins. Keep your damm cats in or suffer the consequences!!!

I feel a song coming on...'Love is in the air every where I look around. Love is in the air every sight and every sound....'

Hi,
This thread has made me rofl and lol so much. Just have to say to OP YANBU, but I would check that it was their cat before tho.

I'm a big animal fan,but must admit that I have never been a fan of cats, although I would NEVER hurt one. But I have been known to letb the dogs out when I see one in the Garden, So now all the cats pretty much stay clear.

'Cats are a form of vermin. They think they own the world and can piss and shit where they please'

Sounds like Humans to me.

I'd like to know how you can stop a cat from going just where it pleases! Or how to keep it inside too! My cats do tend to 'go' down the side of my garden rather than in other people's but if they did then I would be happy to go clear it up.
To the OP I would not have saved them up but if I thought it was my neighbours cat I then I may have been tempted to lob them over every time I found one!

Love your post 'misymoosal' and 'kiskidee' has been spot on too.
My dog has helped put off the huge numbers of cats which used to crap in our garden and dig up the window boxes but we still get problems. The other night there was one in my drive which I narrowly missed running over.I'm sure all the somewhat blinkered cat-lovers would have blamed me if I had and I would have had the distress of dealing with a dead animal.

I can't understand why some people say that all cat owners are selfish and why some people think it is okay to shoot cats. There is nothing wrong with people disliking cats but maiming or killing someone's loved pet and possibly deeply upsetting the owner's children in the process is not on. Yes having cat shit in your garden is anti social and people who own cats ought to have a litter tray but lots of us do! I have two cats who are both neutered and have always used their litter tray. They are in and out during the day, when I am here to open the back door, but are kept in at night. Very often if one of my cats is waiting by the back door to come in, I have opened the door and she has gone running through the house straight to her litter tray (kept in a downstairs cupboard and accessed via a cat flap so my young children can't get near it) and gone to the toilet. She has obviously been outside crossing her legs and holding on and will not go in the garden. Please don't group all cat owners together. A lot of us are responsible and don't want our cats using our neighbours' gardens as toilets.

its quite simple, get a dog!!! thats what we did, only knee high to a grass hopper but it's worked, was getting really worried re the poo from the neighbourhood moggies cos of the worms but couldnt bring myself to go and aske the owners if they worm their cat.

I'm not sure a bucket of cats poo is a very christian thing to do though

My friend's ex neighbour used to leave a pile of cat poo (possibly from friend's cat but who knows!) in a big pile outside friend's front door. Friend was obviously and heavily pregnant. I used to think the miserable cow was very mean considering friend was then forced to handle it, risk of toxoplasmosis notwithstanding.

Aren't cats meant to bury their poo?

My 3 cats do, in my garden, in the soil. I have 3 children, who are not allowed onto the flower beds as that's where the cats do their business.
We all use gloves when digging or planting.

You obviously don't know your neighbours well enough to know if it is their cat. You are not there to see it happen. It could be 10 different cats for all you know.

Cat poo in the soil is much less offensive than dog poo in the middle of the footpath!!

Once you know whose cat it is you should speak to them and maybe ask if they can suugest something that their cat doesn't like. Mine hate the smell of citrus, mainly oranges. There is also a plant called 'scaredy cat' that I have put in a particular bed that I don't want the cats to go on (not because of the poo but because they like to flatten certain comfortable plants!)

Yes, cats kill birds but birds kill other species that are decreasing in numbers. It's nature!
