to throw all the cat poo back into neighbours gardens?

[misdee]

three houses either side of me all have cats.

there is a tiny flower bed type thing near my front door. its full of cat poo.

should i share it equally between the three houses?

I think if you return it by hand, pleasantly in a little bag that wouldn't be a problem. If you flung it over their fence, or stuck it through their letter box you would run the risk of the police knocking on your door. That is because generally cat owners are not considered culpable for their cat's actions, whereas poo flingers are. I think if it was a dog you might have more of a case, as dog owners are held culpable (you are expected to be in control of your dog in a way that you are not expected to have control of your cat). Unfair maybe, but there we are.

Misdee you can use shale or larger pebbles, just not the small scale gravel. Both will be an effective for the average cat who liked to dig a little hole and bury it (usually not very effectively) as the stones are too heavy. For the cats who just don't care, I don't think there is anything you can do, but these really are the minority.

Sorry that should say human poo flingers.
