To want to cry over cat shit

I sound like a crazy cat lady but I'm the opposite

Cats will not stop shitting around my house

26 cat shits out of my driveway

Tell me how to stop them????? I'm so fed up of people up other people's cat shit

I have four cat repellent devices surrounding my house but they still get into some spots 😱😢

Lion shit

Tinfoil pepper plastic bags on sticks will work while the wind blows also get a auto water spray thingy

Cabinfever10 · 25/04/2020 13:50

Don't know I've tried everything even having a dog doesn't stop them. You have my sympathies Flowers

Definitely a water spray, cats hate them. Mind you the postman hates them as well.
Or get yourself a big muscular British Blue cat - they hate all other cats and will chase the others off.

Spread a rumour that someone is poisoning local cats with antifreeze and ask them to look out for saucers of milk with a coloured tinge in them.

Been a thread recently on this matter I got so annoyed at a defensive poster I threatened to dunk a cat in cold soapy water! Animal lover here but cat shit and their bat shit selfish owners drive me bananas!!

(FYI I never meant drown in, just bath it Grin and no i haven’t done it).

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 25/04/2020 13:57

me too ...I totally get you.We have four cats who regularly visit our garden and shit everywhere.It stinks and is just vile.I have to go out every day to clean up the garden before my children can play out. I ambeyond sensless with rage about this. It is awful and I cannot come up with any solution. My other neighbour has a solution he reckons he is so sickof it he is going to catch the cats and drive out into the country side and dump them somewhere.Bit extreme in my view but its driving us all insane.It is just disgusting. I am willing to try any solutions what ever the cost now,so watchingyour post with interest. I totally get what you say OP its just horrible.

Freddiefox · 25/04/2020 13:58

One of ways we stopped a car shutting in our garden was to make friends with the cat. She used to think the garden was hers and then started shitting else where.

Lavenderpurple · 25/04/2020 13:59

Yanbu. Same problem here in the back garden. Bastard cat shit. I’ve a 2 year old as well who likes to pick up random things from the floor Envy (not envy)

Branleuse · 25/04/2020 14:00

Get your own cats and theyll scare the rest off and hopefully shit in their gardens

Frariedeamin · 25/04/2020 14:03

Men’s urine. Sounds insane but collect it in a spray bottle and spray away!

Thickmuthafuckers · 25/04/2020 14:03

I fucking hate cats, my husband has 2 and they shit all over the garden one dogs, they are disgusting and I don’t let me children play on the grass because of them. Dirty filthy animals Angry

CaptainButtock · 25/04/2020 14:03

We have three of the bloody things next door to us Sad
Sick to death of having to pick it up/getting it on me when gardening..
DH throws it back to them over the fence. Maybe we should throw our dog shit over too...?

Put cat treats in the usual crime potty areas. Cats are clean animals and will not defecate near food.

Windyatthebeach · 25/04/2020 14:05

Stakeout
Garden hose...
Job done.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 25/04/2020 14:06

Can I ask a question of cat owners? Do cats poo on artificial grass or paved areas? I am seriously considering taking up my lawns and re doing the garden because of this problem.Would that be a solution?

Niyamamama · 25/04/2020 14:08

Get a labrador. Mine eats all the cat shit from my garden and the neighbours if he gets the chance.

Bloomburger · 25/04/2020 14:09

Teabags soaked in Jeyes Fluid worked for us. I hate cats. Think you should be allowed to text anyone with them and make them come and clean up the shit regardless of it being their cat or not.

HappyBuyer · 25/04/2020 14:10

@Sally
Depends on the cat, but most likely where they can dig a bit - like flower bed. Some prefer grass, paved areas - unlikely.

Thickmuthafuckers · 25/04/2020 14:11

And cats are not clean creatures whoever wrote that

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 25/04/2020 14:11

thanks happy buyer ...the quest to find a sensible solution will go on!!

JasonPollack · 25/04/2020 14:13

I am thinking of going myself to shit in the owners gardens. Seemingly can't stop the cats digging up my beds so fair is fair. Look out for me on the news Wink

Pika09 · 25/04/2020 14:18

Dog owners are worse. Letting their stinking dogs shit all over the place and not pick it up.

anxietrist · 25/04/2020 14:19

I had 2 cats when I was a child and they both used to dig holes and bury their poo. Why do cats not do that anymore?! I thought that was how all cats behaved until I started getting garden shitters. Saw one the other day from bedroom window and I banged on the window and shouted at it. He didn't even flinch, just stared me dead in the eye as he crapped on my lawn ☹️
