To throw cat poo over my neighbour's fence?

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 feel strongly about how people control their cats.

i don't feel strongly about cats.

i used to have one.

it had a litter tray.

i didn't let it shit in other people's gardens or allowed it to hunt.

he was a beautiful cat and had a great life.

and i treated him well.

still wouldn't expect anyone else to pick up after him.

that is why i kept him in.

how many of you cat owners who feel strongly about my posts allow your cat to shit over the neighbourhood?

own up please, then i can put your posts into better context.

my cats have a litter tray, are neutured, mircochiped, they like to sit outside in the garden, my male cat wandered off one day and got shot...

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 23:27

yeah, magpies regularly have their owners by them magpie food at the local shop.

Noellefielding · 20/06/2007 23:27

the cat owners I know all look carefully at the ceiling and whistle when asked about their cats pooing in other people's gardens.... it's like: " out of site: someone's else shite" to clear up!
Cat Owners - selfish selfish selfish!!!!!
A lot of Brits love their pets more than they love people - easy to love furballs that can't talk!!

Yes but how many of you love your magpies like you love your cats. Can't imagine a magpie curling up at the end of the bed or on the sofa unless you drug it.

I've never followed my cats around to see where they crap. I really must make more of an effort.

They undoubtably do some of their crap in my garden. Probably don't do it in the garden of the house to the left because they have a cat. Definitely don't do it to the house on the right because they're scared to go in that garden - they have a huge rabbit!

They could possibly crap in the garden behind my house

sparklygothkat · 20/06/2007 23:29

if my neighbours came to me and said that my cat had shit in their garden, I would go and clean it up, the same way I clean up my dog shit when he goes for his walk

You can't involve yourself with a racing pigeon, they are on a race, like the cyclists in the yellow tops. That IS bad.

kiskidee · 20/06/2007 23:31

i don't know, i never asked the magpies.

i know that well fed cats take home baby birds to their owners and the owners don't eat them.

UCM · 20/06/2007 23:31

Ok so where is the story about either Magpies or cats eating babies.....

Katiekin · 20/06/2007 23:32

No harman because the population of cats is increasing due to human interference. Magpies are still working under the laws of nature. By the way glad to hear you have neutered your cat.

I used to have a cat and was quite glad when it used to go elsewhere to shit. However, if a neighbour had slung it all over my fence I would have had no problem cleaning it up.

Not for the sake of the birds then?

Exactly, thereby getting the population down and reducing the number of strays - so good for cats too. - I don't approve of shooting them, I just want owners to be responsible.

Getting dh to stand on a ladder with a rake to spread it about? Hmmm...I think this is Twig again.
