Really gross, but how to clean old mushy cat poo off the grass?

Next door's cat likes to poo on our grass.

It's got to that time of year when it's nice enough for the dc to play out and I need to cut the grass.

If I do it with the soggy mushy piles of poo I am afraid it will splatter everywhere.

So how to remove it without, you know, actually touching it?

Well I have cats and I think if it's a regular problem I suggest you should mention it to the neighbours and ask them to make sure they have litter readily available. It's not nice to have to deal with it all the time - it's not even your pet.

In the short term scoop up the worst of it and throw it over the fence and get a hose pipe on it or slosh some water on it.

Sympathies. I would want to know if it were mine and I'd do all I could to stop it. Unusual for a cat not to instinctively dig a hole. They don't often behave like that, although there are always exceptions.

I have a cat who always seems to poo in the grass, and it's usually mushy . I just have to scoop it when I see it. The lawnmower copes with the remainder, I've never seen catshit splat.

I think that whole thing about "cats digging holes to poo in" or covering their poo with soil is just a lie propagated by cat owners to make themselves feel better about their cats shitting in other people's gardens. In our last house we had a herd of cats who used our garden as a toilet - it was disgusting and one of the reasons we moved
