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?

minkGrundy tell me about it - I am having my front garden paved over because I get cat crap right by my front door in the flower beds and everyone's rubbish blowing up the street gets caught in the grass and flowers and I'm sick and tired of litter picking and getting rid of cat poo. For once I want to come home or step outside my house in the morning without a pile of rubbish and a stinking fresh poo pile by my front door.

I've also ordered 6 bags of slate chippings to pour over the back garden flower bed areas once I have replanted my garden yet again. Last year I had put some spare medium sized gravel stones down in my small garden wall but they dug it up along with all my lilies (clearly I didn't put enough down).

Other than the neighbour being elderly, I have no problem with people shoving cat crap back to the person who owns the cat.

Where I live, it's considered cruel to allow your cat to roam anyway as they're so likely to get eaten by the local wildlife. The neighbourhood is still full of homes with perfectly happy cats that just don't go round crapping in other people's gardens.

YANBU - my neighbours cats shit all over our flower beds and one pissed right on my front step. Do you know how much that fucking reaks!?

Its hard to know what is more irritating....the cats and their pervasive shit all over or are the inconsiderate assholes that constantly leave little bags of dog shit next to and scattered around my back bins.

Elderly ladies not withstanding, a large number of people with pets should have animal shit thrown directly at them IMO.....certainly shovelling back in their own yards seems reasonable.

All of MN is now AIBU.

Sparklingbrook · 02/04/2015 07:17

You are not wrong JD.

housepicturesqueclub · 02/04/2015 08:25

So you look down on your elderly neighbour because she 'only' has an '82 metre sq house' presumably yours is much bigger and you've worked out the exact sq. meterage? 82m.sq is probably about average!

Box5883284322679964228 · 02/04/2015 08:27

You could have just put the poo in the bin. Your actions make you a bitch

Box5883284322679964228 · 02/04/2015 08:29

What do you do with fox poo or bird poo or other poo from other creatures.

Box5883284322679964228 · 02/04/2015 08:31

Also how do you know it was the old ladies cat poo and not some other random cat from elsewhere

housepicturesqueclub · 02/04/2015 08:36

Your Dogs eat up your cats shit?? MN Platinum.

Do you let them lick your face afterwards? ;)

ThatBloodyWoman · 02/04/2015 08:36

I have a tiny house.
I have 2 dc's,a cat and a dog.
My garden is like 50 shades of shit -cat,dog,fox,chicken,pheasant,rat,woodpigeon....
In fact,its all too much and I'm going to start bagging up the pheasant shit and handing it back to the gamekeeper.That'll teach him and sort the problem.

ThatBloodyWoman · 02/04/2015 08:37

Thst'll teach him,actually,not that'llch him...

IKnowIAmButWhatAreYou · 02/04/2015 08:37

Ah, the old "Fox Poo" argument.

If the OPs garden is anything like most, she's not inundated with Fox Poo as they don't come in there, whereas the cat does. And Bird Poo? Not something that you generally put your hands in when doing the gardening - unless you have ostriches or the like indigenous to your region....

I sympathise OP, and have done the same to my (middle aged) neighbours.

Micah · 02/04/2015 09:30

It's definately foxes in my garden. I've seen the little buggers come in and do it. Often 2 or 3 at a time.

Maybe I should bag it up and post it to the council offices.

Instead I just flick it to one side.

How big are some of these cats anyway? I've never come across a cat that can produce enough poo to destroy entire gardens and wreck lawns. Even when I lived in a vastly over catted street it was only a matter of finding poo once in a while. Certainly not half an hour a day clean up job some of you seem to have to do.

nunkspugget · 02/04/2015 09:53

Micah....the cats obviously used another garden as their shitter. Just because you were lucky, does not mean your experience is usual. My last house had a gravel drive which was freshly shat on daily by about 5 cats, who came at least twice a day. I used to shovel them all next door, be they her cats offending or not, as im damned if I'm housing shit when I have no pets.

Apatite1 · 02/04/2015 10:26

82 sqm is 882 square feet.

That's my valuable contribution to this marvellous thread

Blu · 02/04/2015 13:35

Why does it matter if the neighbour has katshit in her garden but it doesn't matter in the OP's garden?

Hopefully by placing the shit in the neighbours garden her own kat might rekognise it's own garden as it's khazi and stop shitting in the OP's garden altogether.

I doubt this will shorten the neighbour's life, or mean she has to go into a home.

SuburbanRhonda · 02/04/2015 14:45

mintyy, I think it was a quiet night last night.

My post got deleted because I asked whether the OP felt brave enough to talk to her neighbour about the problem, or just "brave" enough to throw poo in her garden.

Apparently that was "quite attacking of the OP."

Box5883284322679964228 · 02/04/2015 15:52

We get lots of foxes in our garden. They trail through all our gardens into the park

HopeClearwater · 03/04/2015 12:47

I don't get why all the extra special treatment for the old lady. She's got cats which shit all over other people's property. She's never tray trained them. My ancient and lovely neighbour adore their garden, the borders are beautifully kept, and they are fed up of having to dispose of other people's pet cat shit. We don't approve of pet dogs roaming the place and leaving piles of turd around, why should it be acceptable for cats to do it? There are too many domestic cats in this country, and too many negligent owners.
