... to put cat shit through next door's letterbox?

[LakieLady]

It's in poo bags!

I've just cut some of the grass for the first time, and have picked up 3 lots of cat shit from an area of lawn about 30' x 15'. I know it's from next door's cat, one lot was in the spot where I saw the beast squatting for a leisurely dump this morning, and the other 2 lots are identical in size, shape and consistency, plus their cat is the only one that dares to linger in my garden.

And we never speak, so it's not as though I'd be damaging our relationship, because we don't have one. Mr NDN has never spoken a civil work to me in the 30 years I've lived here.

Cat’s ARE vermin as far as I’m concerned. Filthy fuckers.

Cars are twats. There used to be one that did that in my garden, it doesn't anymore. We made it quite clear that it wasn't welcome
Nothing too bad, just made it abundantly clear that it wasn't welcome

Roll the poo in newspaper, put it on ndn step,set fire to it and ring bell.
Run away and hide.
Ndn will open door, see fire and stamp it out!

Whoops

And we never speak, so it's not as though I'd be damaging our relationship, because we don't have one. Mr NDN has never spoken a civil work to me in the 30 years I've lived here.

And how many civil words have you offered him?

If you'd been on speaking terms, you could be civilly asking him to pop over & poo-pick after his cat. It's not as if he can order it to poo elsewhere, but he could pick up after it if you'd bothered to talk to him about it.

Debag and return it to their garden, aiming for garden furniture or the patio.

Yesterday I picked two lots of cat shit out my strawberry patch, it's just absolutely disgusting. I wish people had to cat proof their garden and keep them in if they wanted cats. They're terrible for wildlife, they shit all over peoples gardens and they're always getting knocked over.

Unfortunately cat people are hugely entitled (as you'll notice from any thread on here) so putting cat poo through his letterbox is probably pointless, I fling it all back into next doors garden, but it sounds like you can't do that unfortunately.

Absolutely awful idea!
Get a water pistol to deter cat, or use a sprinkling of pepper or chilli powder where it has done it.
Putting poo through a letter box is nightmare neighbour from hell territory.

@KettrickenSmiled they could cat proof their garden so their pet can't get out.

I chucked it back over the fence when same happened here.

Our cat's used to come in and do they're business in they're tray then go out again. But not all cats will use a tray. They can't really control where they're cat goes to the toilet. Just put something down so it's not coming back to the same spot. And squirt it with some water if you really don't want it in your garden. You don't want to be on that programme neighbours from hell. 😂😂😂

I had a neighbours dog that crapped on my lawn. I picked it up and painted her door with it. I never saw her dog again.

the cat will be holding off the rats and foxes
Lmfao, my garden is essentially a toilet for cats thanks to entitled fuck owners and we still get foxes. What a load of shite, or should that be urine?

I can't think of any situation that warrants putting cat poo (or any other kind) through a letterbox. In you case it will either achieve zilch or provoke a response you'd rather not have.

We had a neighbour complain our cats pooped in his garden and that he kept getting it on his shoes and messing up his carpet....... Other than that our cats are female and generally cover up after themselves, and the fact it was more likely foxes anyway......the solution seemed obvious to us.......

He’ll probably make her deal with the shit then, won’t he? Just get a cat deterrent. Like a dog.

You can't control where your outdoor cat shits. That's just a fact of life. So your NDN will have no control over this, no matter how annoying it is for you.

YABU to put cat poo in their letter box.

AS others have said, get a water pistol and shoot the cat with water every time it comes into your garden.

Putting through the letterbox is unreasonable, they can't control a cat.

However, I'm all for chucking back over the fence into their own garden so they can clean it up and deal with the stench. God knows what cats eat, but their faces always stink to high heaven.

There's a cat in the garden
What are you going to do,
There's a cat in the garden
What are you going to do,
I'm going to teach that cat
that's what I'm going to do
I'm going to teach that cat...

When the cat comes over and shits in my yard,
I'm going to lob it back, back into Daddy's yard,
I wonder why it's me, that has it this hard,
From the stinking turds,
That has to be shared,

There's a cat in the garden
What are you going to do,
There's a cat in the garden
What are you going to do,
I'm going to teach that cat
that's what I'm going to do
I'm going to teach that cat... Meow! 🐈

I hang my head in shame.

If you don't wish to lob it back with a suitable scoop for flinging, you may wish to purchase rubber snakes and place them around your garden. That or grow cucumbers. Both of which cats seem to fear.

Hi op,

We had similar problems with a neighbours cat, despite keeping our grass short. I so wanted to boot that cat mid shit into its owners garden…but…I also realised that in reality, this would be a pretty awful thing to do. Similar to putting bags of poop through someone’s letterbox.

So instead I bought a few of those sonar things and placed them in the garden. With the exception of just a few occasions, it seems to have worked. Which reminds me, I have to renew the batteries now.

So, yanu for wanting to do it, but ywbu if you do it.

I really don’t like cats. I’m sick of finding their shit when I’m digging in my borders, it’s fucking disgusting. They destroy some of my perennial plants as soon as they come up in spring but just waking over them and crushing the new growth. And my porch often stinks cos they seem to spray in the doorway. I was hoovering our kitchen diner the other summer. It was roasting so I had the back door ajar. In walked a cat despite the noise of the hoover and my obvious displeasure at its presence. It just ignored me and lay down and didn’t bugger off for nearly an hour the little shit.

But you can’t put bags of cat shit through the letterbox. Even throwing the shit over the garden fence will antagonise. I would have no qualms about putting their cat shit in their wheelie bin, though, if they have one accessible?

“There is no way I can CAT SHIT” ( Catch it)

Cats shitting in gardens is vile
They DON’T Bury it.
Get a fast dog!
But then you have dog poop to scoop.

A water jet is the best deterrent apart from a speedy dog.

We used to get a neighbour’s un neutered Tom cat in our garden.
A visiting Lurcher ( Good with cats she knew) ensured it never came back.
It never dared show it’s massive battle- scarred face again on that garden!

Lol I've had a neighbour do this....even though my cats at the time both used a litter tray (fussy cats) and there were approx 12 other cats regularly passing through our gardens!

Buy a dog and let it shit all over his garden. What's good for the goose .....

Really annoys me that dog owners pick up their dog shit and every excuse in the world is made for cats. No. Not all cats bury their shit.

We had a repeat-offender cat, who would leave his dollops in the middle of our lovely, circular, front lawn each morning. Right in the middle, like he knew how much I loved that lawn, and how awful he could make it look. I would pick up, bin it (not thru neighbours' letterbox) spray the area with detergent to break down the smell, but the little scrote would be back next day.
After trying all sorts of expensive deterrents, none of which worked, I decided to try the water pistol method, and I stood guard at the open window one Saturday morning, SuperSoaker in hand, waiting for him to arrive for his morning toilette. At around 9.10am I needed the loo myself and whilst I was doing my business (in the correct place) the cat showed up and did his on my lawn. Crafty bugger.
After that, I left a bowl of water on the front step, so that I could grab it and drench him if I ever caught him at it, and that weirdly seemed to do the trick for a while - just the proximity of water seemed to put him off, but I needed the bowl for something else, so had to bring it in.
It was then that my DH caught him in the act one morning, and aimed a kick at him, hoping his swinging leg would scare the brute away. Unfortunately (for both parties, as DH has never quite recovered from the guilt) the cat was so engaged in its ablutions that it failed to register the danger, and DH's foot connected firmly with kitty's behind, hoofing him across the lawn and over the shrubbery, never to return.
I should make it clear that DH did pull back when he realised the cat wasn't moving, and sort of ended up shoving him heavily with his foot, rather than outright kicking him - he was unharmed, as we used to see him around the place, but the cat never again dared to despoil our lovely lawn.
