Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.
I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.
What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?
The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people’s pets that aren’t welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it’s simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.
Doubt it. You’d 100% be telling someone to clean up their dog shit.
Also, the shit is only a small aspect of the disrespect and neglect people push on their outdoor cats.
I cannot fathom the low intelligence required when it comes to people not understanding why you should have cats unmonitored, unleashed and roaming free.
I’m glad you and the fictional version of me you’ve constructed can carry on this conversation without my continued involvement.
Don’t need your involvement to know you’re full of shit and that if your lawn was covered in dogshit from your neighbours that you wouldn’t be pissed off.
I don’t care if an animal shits on my lawn. I’m not rolling round on it, and I’m not super precious about my bougie lawnmower like OP.
Are you incapable of imagining that there are people out there who aren’t joyless karens?
Tf are you talking about joyless…there is no joy in someone being careless with their ‘pet’ and neglecting them while letting them roam because look how cute fluffy is.
Oh the shock and horror, the animal that hasn’t been fully domesticated yet likes to be outside. Just because you let your cat go outside doesn’t mean you’re neglecting it.
There are 5 basic welfare needs: suitable environment, suitable diet, need to be housed with or without other animals (species specific), need to be protected from suffering/disease and the need to show natural behaviours. Sure most of them can be met indoors but you can’t provide a suitable environment or let them show natural behaviours unless you allow them to go outside when they need to or you live in a mansion that’s big enough for a cat to fill it’s territorial range.
Cool, so they are not domesticated so we should consider them pests and have the population culled because it’s an invasive species. Thanks
So all non domesticated animals are pests now? What about geese? Or deer? Are they all pests? They’re invasive species in certain countries too.
