Stupid Cat

super soaker + your own pee = :D

We had a problem cat that kept getting under the cover of our garden swing and peeing on the seats, in the end I tied a cord around the bottom of the cover and when the cat was in there, I pulled the cord tight and poked a fairy liquid bottle loaded with water in there, you should have heard it go. I was only 8. Im sure I could think of nastier things to do with them. :D :D

What about a water hose? I'm sure cats don't enjoy those.

I do think there would be any issues with doing that, I've used it myself to keep rogue cats from coming near our cat flat and I can't see it doing them any damage. A much better solution than a BB gun IMHO

Dont shoot at it with a BB gun, already tried and it doesnt work. We have the same problem as you with it crapping in our garden every day. Next time i catch it its getting wet.

Interesting. Maybe a huge catapult.

Definitely the way to go if you want to ruin your chances of a happy neighbourdom.

I bet 90% of people who go on about this don't actually speak to the cat owner, just go on about it without ever trying to sort the problem out amicably. I'd be pretty hacked off if someone came and threw cat poo/posted it through my door when I didn't have a clue it was going on. People should act like adults and try and sort it out. If you get nowhere, then by all means, fling it, send it, whatever, but at least try first.
 
We aint approached the neighbor, but only because we ont know who the owner is.

We put these garlic pellet things down and they worked for about 5 months then the cat must have got used to it and doesnt care now. They smelt really nice too, and kept amking me hungry :p
 
Firstly cats are deemed to be free roaming creatures which is why you don't have to report an incident if you accidently run over one, unlike a dog. As anoying as I know it is, your neighbour cannot be held responsible for the poo.

Secondly, a water pistol / spray gun is very effective as I have found out.

Thirdly, it is far more embarrasing when your pet chickens jump the fence and eat all of your neighbour's grass while they are at work. Image the scene. They leave in the morning with a lovely green back garden and come home to a brown wasteland. And to make matters worse, it had been raining so the whole thing looked like a bog. Ooooops.

lmao! Post of the day :D
 
A cat isn't a domesticated animal, you never really "own" it so you can't really stop it from doing anything. They cannot be trained like a dog.
 
My misses is a keen gardener (whereas I am vaguely aware of something green at the rear of my prpoerty) and she has had the same problem. Her solution was to buy some plastic toy snakes, I laughed at first but, apparently cats hate snakes and they stayed away from our garden after she put them on the lawn.

I was very disappointed; my super-soaker was filled and fully pumped, ready for action. :p
 
Not quite sure why you would do this.... :confused: ...tell someones workplace that they have a cat and that it poo's in your garden? way to lose credibility and look like a crank trying to cause them problems imo. I'd just laugh if that happened to one of my team, and worry that someone was out to cause them trouble.

And... just out of interest ... when you say message understood and carry out all these little acts - what is it you expect the cat owner to do? It's not exactly sorting out the issue - have any of you tried talking nicely to your neighbour and explaining the situation or are they taking no notice?

The whole point is that people have been asking nicely and getting no where!

What would your encredibly noble and wise self recommend? because talking to them doesnt seem to work...just out of interest :)

Ok, it just seemed only one person said they had spoken to the neighbours, i didn't see anyone else saying they had :confused:

Edit: I just read back, of all the people in this thread, only scuzi says he's spoken to the neighbour involved. Stellios doesn't know who the cat belongs to and the OP hasn't commented :)

If the neighbour isn't interested, then it's up to the person having the problem how they deal with it - I can understand it must be really frustrating, and if the 'owner' isn't willing to even talk about it, then they kind of leave themselves open to having poo flung at their doors etc. I'd just hope it wouldn't come to that.

Oh and btw, I'm not incredibly noble or wise, but thanks for saying so ;)
