I've just shovelled next door neighbour's cat's poo back in to her garden

That's fair isn't it?

Every day I get home and the next door's cat stared at me like 'what are you doing here in my bathroom?'

I have already spent a fortune on that green stuff, get the fuck out of my garden it's called. But it only lasts about 3 days, then the smell goes and it gets rained away.

I will carry on smiling and nodding when I see elderly neighbour. I don't want to speak to her about her krapping cat. I want to say hello neighbour. How are you. Fine. I'm fine too. I don't want to be put in the position of having to raise it with her that I can hear her dog barking all night and her cat is now crapping by my front door.

Why do people who live in a 82 metres sq house think they should have three animals? Confused

If her pets are 'cooped up' how the hell is the cat shitting in the garden?

MyArksNotReady · 01/04/2015 21:21

It wouldn't bother me if op gave me back my cat's poo. Seeing as op is cleaning it up it would be not more work to bag it and ask I dispose of it.

BitOutOfPractice · 01/04/2015 21:23

OP the reason why people are pointing out the Capital N is that if we have our settings to highlight all posts from the OP as I have, name changing (even slightly - changing an upper case letter to lower case for instance) half way through a thread , means that your posts won't show up as being by the OP as well as making folk suspicious about what you're up to logging in and out in the course of a single thread

YANBU the neighbour opposite me has 4 cats and they all shit in my garden and have now started shitting on the lawn because I put nets over my flower beds. Do people even know how disgusting it is to pick up fresh cat shit out of a lawn, the smell alone makes you want to vomit. Then you have a choice either put a carrier bag over your hand and pick it up in the hope it doesn't smear over the lawn or use a trowel and dig out the lawn and be left with lumps in your lawn that you then have to fix at your own cost.

It is all well and good saying its not the ndn fault and yes cats are roaming animals blah blah blah but I don't see why

  1. I have to deal with the shit - if I wanted to pick up shit I would get my own pet
  2. I have to spend money doing what I can to prevent them shitting everywhere uprooting my plants and fucking up my lawn. Last year I spent £60 replanting my back garden of which 80% of the plants were uprooted and destroyed by cats. Every time I want to use my garden I have to de-cat poo it and over winter where I haven't been the crap has piled up and the other day I managed to fill an entire bin bag full of crap. I was even taking out some old deep rooted bushes and they have pissed all over it the smell was all over my hands its fucking disgusting.

I have to right to enjoy my garden and not expect it to be destroyed.

If it was a dog you would all be saying its irresponsible of the owner to not pick up its shit.

If OP knows and has seen ndn cat pooping in her lawn than there should be no problem in chucking it back over. You own an animal you deal with it.

Carry on OP I support you fully just because she is old doesn't mean she can just be blaze about her responsibilities as a pet owner.

Talking to cat owners never helps they just shrug their shoulders and couldn't give a fuck because if the cat is shitting elsewhere its not shitting in their garden and doesn't affect them.

MyArksNotReady · 01/04/2015 21:53

What do you do if a bird shuts on your garden furniture or car?

PatrickStarxx · 01/04/2015 21:53

I cannot believe the op is being called names. You're adults FFs!

I used to love my garden, I grew flowers and vegetables but the local cats destroyed my hobby. No matter what I used the cats continued to poo on my garden.

It's not fair and it's antisocial behaviour.

DanGleeBalls · 01/04/2015 21:57

So you can prove that she is the only person in your whole neighborhood who has a cat? How do you know it was her cat? You were out.

You seem a nice person. No wonder we are so crap at looking after the elderly in this country. Perhaps you could give tips on how to be nice to older folk to the Government.

Sarah7510 · 01/04/2015 22:02

Oh gosh. You did that? And tomorrow you'll smile at your elderly neighbour and ask her if she's fine?

Wow. You learn stuff about human beings every day.

You can buy little battery operated devices which send out a feline-heard alarm to make them steer clear of your lawn. Maybe it would be nicer to try that investment instead.

DanGleeBalls · 01/04/2015 22:03

PatrickStarxx
How bright you are. Give the cat an Asbo eh?

It's a cat! Get a life! Shit is 100% biodegradable and it's great for your plants so all of you, stop moaning.

RaphaellaTheSpanishWaterDog · 01/04/2015 22:06

OP, what do you expect your elderly neighbour to do with regards to her cat's poo? Go round after said kitty, scaling fences/walls and suchlike armed with a trowel and poo bag clearing up after it?

Shit happens....literally!

PatrickStarxx · 01/04/2015 22:14

Dan why the nasty post? Why feel the need to be so aggressive?

All I want is to be able to enjoy my garden without having to pick up cat crap. My rabbit was attacked by my neighbours cat and needed treatment.
My son has Duane syndrome and he has had a hell of a lot of operations on his eyes. The poor lad couldn't even play in his own garden without it being disinfected first.

So don't start saying it's just cat. It's a pain in the arse!

LilMissSunshine9 · 01/04/2015 22:15

Sarah7510 they don't always work and I have at great cost tried everything.

Covering up my flower beds and now it looks like my lawn to - great way to enjoy my garden! not! but hey ho mustn't make the owners responsible especially if they the elderly. How about I just shove the bill through the letter box of my neighbour then? Is that fair? How about I put the bin bag of poo on their doorstep after all why should I have to make a special trip down to the recycling centre to get rid of it because if I put it in my bin for 2 weeks it will stink out my garage until the rubbish guys come.

How about cat owners buy the bloody alarms for those neighbours who have to put up with their cat poop instead - why should I have to fork out my money.

FY - I know its my neighbours cats because I see them whilst I am in my lounge jump out her window walk across my fence into my garden, they even peer through my doors before sloping off to do their business where they can. Today I saw one of them testing the netting before going off to do its business elsewhere but I chased it out the garden. Thankfully said neighbour has the For Sale sign up and I will super happy when she goes and pray whoever moves in doesn't own any cats.

I even have people who can't be bothered to secure their rubbish in their bins properly blowing all over my front lawn every fecking day I have to litter pick - this morning following the gales I have a large 4 pack croissant container, 3 cans, lots of torn up paper pieces, crisp bags and a few plastic bottles. Unfortunately for me the wind blows up the road and swirls into the corner by my front door due to the garage so there is nothing I can do about it except ask the neighbours to make sure they get their bin lids on their bins.

BuggersMuddle · 01/04/2015 22:18

Slinging shit into the garden of the elderly? That's charming.

You obviously had picked it up anyway, so at that point you could have binned it. Why you went down the route of PA shit-slinging, when you don't intend to have a conversation about it is something I cannot fathom Confused

All you've achieved is two lots of picking up shit being needed rather than one. Well done OP.

Mintyy · 01/04/2015 22:37

So ... where is op and is he/she going to answer my question about the mid thread namechange?

And why have there been thread deletions already so quickly on this thread? Even though we are in the late evening dead zone. What did the deleted posts say, I wonder?

SO MANY questions to be answered! They're never going to be though, are they?

JuliaDream · 01/04/2015 22:50

Wind up thread . Like all the others that have been all over MN the last couple of weeks.

PannaDoll · 02/04/2015 00:13

I find the mud rant declaration about cycling as bizarre as the constant name changery.

PannaDoll · 02/04/2015 00:13

Mud = mid

Sparklingbrook · 02/04/2015 00:20

What is going on on MN lately? I thought in Property/DIY it was all Farrow and Ball paint and how to achieve a light airy room.

Now we have kat krap name changing weirdness.

PacificDogwood · 02/04/2015 00:22

How is slinging Kat Krap over the garden wall less effort than bagging it up?
Annoying yes, but really?!

UAprilFool · 02/04/2015 00:29

Fear not OP, I have a solution that works wonders, doesn't involve any crap flinging and can be quite amusing to watch. You just need to buy a motion activated water jet thingy ..or something similar. I have bought a couple and they work brilliantly, they are harmless but effective.

The price of the one I've linked to goes up,and down in price - I have seen it a lot cheaper than it's currently advertised on Amazon.

LilMissSunshine9 · 02/04/2015 00:43

£50! Far cheaper to fling it back over to the neighbours. Why should we have to fork out £50. Any of you cat owners willing to fork it out for your neighbour who has to put up with crap all over their garden?

momb · 02/04/2015 00:49

YABU I'm afraid, and I speak as one whose potatoes have all been dug up by neighbours' cats pooing in the tubs.
Cats are feral, and legally protected as such. For example f a dog runs out into the road and cause an accident the owner is liable. If a cat does it he owner I not deemed liable.
YANBU to be irritated b the cat poo in your garden. YABVU to throw it into you neighbours' gardens, whether or not they are the owners of a cat. The fact that you know the neighbour is elderly makes it even meaner.

minkGrundy · 02/04/2015 00:55

I am having to dig up all my grass and put down slabs and petennials because all the local cats poo on it. My kids cannot walk on the grass at all.Sad

I wouldn't throw shit in the neighbours garden but it would be nice if they got their cats a litter tray.
