FabSwingers.com forum: Neighbour's cat

How do you keep the neighbour's cat from shitting in your garden? This is why I dislike cats and cat owners. You don't see my slinging my rottweiler's load on your lawn? So why is it acceptable for your animal to shit on mine????

Because you can control where your dog shits, cat owners can't. Get a cat repeller or plant lavender or lemon plants.

Chilli powder and not the stuff you get from the supermarket. Go visit an asian shop if you have one nearby and get the extra hot stuff. I know some people say it hurts the animals but it makes me sneeze from a distance so an animal with a more sensitive nose shouldn’t want to come near to get injured

Keep a water spray handy and spray it when you see it. That's what we advise our neighbours to do if our cat is unwelcome in their garden. Cat shit is deeply unpleasant we understand our neighbours don't want to deal with it.

We got some of those ultrasonic cat-be-gone things. They didn’t seem to work.

Some people say, lion shit but that’s difficult to come by and also your garden will smell worse!

So, I don’t know.

I,'ve got 4 cats, I,'ve left a lot of my garden unplanted this year so my cats can shit in it. They also have a dirt tray indoors. I overheard my neighbour who was meant to be my friend last being very nasty about some shit in her garden, saying she could kill the cat telling her daughter to throw it over my fence. There's loads of cats around here, so could have been anyone's cat did it She knows I heard because she saw me in my garden in tears looking for the lobbed shit and gave me some plants . I avoid her now. She feeds hedgehogs which shit in my garden, which is just as unpleasant. The laugh of it is she encourages one cat into her garden so she can pet it. X

This. Please don't be cruel. Whether you like cats, love them, or loathe them, they are an animal with personality and a soul like your dog.

Please be kind, and please consider getting a cat from a rescue. They are very self sufficient, and will indeed mark their territory so another cat won't poo in your garden...

Lavender doesn't work btw - I've got tons of lavender in my garden, my 3 cats LOVE it!

You can buy plastic prickle strips that you can stick along your wall or fences to deter cats from jumping on them to access your garden, Amazon does actually sell lion manure if you fancy using that

Lion dung is meant to be good. You can buy it from a garden centre or online.

My Dad also swears by citrus peel blended and scattered in his planters.

I have three dogs that can come and go in and out of my garden. They usually get rid of cats between them. The Lurcher of mine is like a missile.

I completely understand the frustration of having an animal that is not your own leave mess in the your garden. However, being rude & insulting is not going to make the issue disappear. I am far from dumb.

Cats have souls and personalities the same as every other animal. I have four, and there is only one of them that would even tolerate being put on a lead, and even he wouldn't allow himself to be pulled around on it. It takes an exceptional cat to use a lead.

As for keeping them in, each to their own, and although some house cats have lovely lives, my cats couldn't be kept in without some form of barricade on any door or window that might be opened as they made dashes for them from the second they noticed them.

How about instead of making rude sweeping insults and moaning, you educate yourself on cat behaviour & dislikes and take steps accordingly.

When my Old English Bull dog was in his prime a cat used to taunt him by sitting on top of the fence. Cats absolutely rule the roost.

However my dog figured out if he hurled his 9 stone against the fence it would catapult the cat a considerable distance. The cat then switched his taunting to the rather more solid structure of the barn.

We use a pest off jet water sprayer from Am. Only costs £18. It attaches to a hosepipe and has a motion sensor that triggers a squirt of water when a cat or fox crosses in front.

Our garden was like a cat loo last year and since last July when we fitted the spray we hadn't had one poo. The cats have learnt to go around our garden instead of through it. We move it around the garden so they don't know when it's going to get them. Doesn't hurt them and doesn't use chemicals so all good.

It also gets us when we forget it's on!

In all fairness we’ve had people letting their dogs crap on the grass too so the chilli powder is a deterrent to them as well.

We have a young daughter and frankly her health and safety from not getting the crap on her hands and blinding herself is more my concern than any animal ever will be.

Selfish? Maybe but that’s life.

How about instead of making rude sweeping insults and moaning, you educate yourself on cat behaviour & dislikes and take steps accordingly. "

I'm also a lifelong cat owner and totally agree with all you wrote

Contrary to 'popular' belief amongst some, not *all* cat owners are dumb, selfish or oblivious to the fact that not everyone is a fan of cats. Some of us are considerate neighbours and do all we can to minimise nuisance and maintain good neighbourly relations. For me, this has meant *talking* to my neighbours - to make them aware of my concern - checking if they've encountered any mess, offering to clear their garden borders if required (though as I can't identify *my* cats' poo, it could be other animals' I'm picking up), reassuring them that shouting and/or spraying water to deter them is fine, and offering to buy commercial deterrents.

There does seem to be a particular form of spite reserved for cats and their owners which I don't fully understand. You could just as easily point to irresponsible dog owners (not ALL dog owners obviously) who allow their animals to poo in people's open front gardens (and that's on the end of a lead!), or in public parks where kids play, without picking it up. Of course, badly trained and/or dogs brutalised by scummy owners do much much worse than that and whilst most people would rightly be horrified, overall ... it feels as though cat owners, generally speaking, still get it in the neck more often than that type of dog owner does.

Point is, if you *see* particular cats using your garden as a loo and you know who their owners are, just *speak* to them. What do you have to lose? They might be willing to employ litter trays for example which could solve the issue, and/or provide a sand or earth box in their own garden. If they're like me, they'd apologise profusely which might help you feel a bit better. If you don't know who they belong to then there are plenty of humane deterrents you can use. Some have already been mentioned, but if you have largish areas of bare earth you can also put cats off by covering these with piles of woody twigs, or holly sprigs, which they're unlikely to dig in.

Agreed. This plus the plastic strips should be more than enough to deter any animal.

If one of my neighbours came to me politely and told me my cats were a problem I would happily pay for a non-cruel fix such as these. If they came to me with a bad attitude and called me dumb my response would be very, very different...

I bought a realistic lion costume from China and I sit in my garden all night long. I collect my poop from the toilet and when a cat comes by I roar and throw a little turd at them.

I've tried loads of methods but I would give this one an 8 out of 10 (I'm leaving 2 points out as it gets chilly and lonely at night in the garden and I feel kinda mean) but it's great to establish dominance.

Next door has about 8 cats and they were crapping all over my back garden, i planted 4 leylandii next to the fence between our properties and they are about 9 ft tall now. There's no height limit to how tall you can grow a hedge if you use these tress btw.

I also got some cheap bushes from poundland which grew really fast before the trees got tall, this helped too. Buddleia grow quick and wide also, and are good for the environment as they attract bees and butterflies (and moths).

I noticed my boyfriends dog likes to roam when i let her out on the front, luckily for me she likes to go for a dump in next doors garden so i leave it there. She seems to naturally enjoy roaming and sees their garden as a toilet for some reason, i let the dog act on her 'natural instincts'.

Good luck with the consequences of your leylandi in a few years time. When they’re 50 feet tall, cover your garden with shade and suck up all the moisture so that nothing, not even grass, grows. Oh and when you get fed up and want to get rid of them you’ll find that the cost is prohibitively high, like our new neighbours have found. They have inherited 4 of the damn things at the end of the garden. Nothing grows at the end of their garden or ours (fortunately our chickens live in that corner of our garden so not too much of an issue for us). They have had 7 tree surgeons come and look at them so far, 4 of them said they won’t touch them as it’s too dangerous to cut them down due to proximity to other houses. The others have quoted prices between 10-25k to get rid!

I planted them close together so they won't grow that large or fast. They're only 9ft tall 7 years in.

"We use a pest off jet water sprayer from Am. Only costs £18. It attaches to a hosepipe and has a motion sensor that triggers a squirt of water when a cat or fox crosses in front.

It also gets us when we forget it's on!"

I might get one and put it in the garden by the front door. I have a mucky Postman who keeps dropping his rubber bands all over our path!

Hahaha

your postie will probably enjoy that if the weather gets hot again. Contact rm customer services and they’ll have his manager remind him that it’s not acceptable

That's the beauty of having cats as pets, they always do their buisness in someone else's garden.

A good way to stop it is to get a bigger cat yourself. Your cat will shit in others gardens and other cats will not shit in yours.

We had a similar probe in a new house 3 or 4 local cats and we don’t have a dog.... solution is simple we borrow a friends pair of springer spaniels and let them run around the garden every couple of months, not see a Cat dare enter since they visited us

As much as I agree with not wanting cats to shit in gardens etc.

Without free roaming cats we would be plagued (much more than already) by rodent vermin.

Free roaming cats help keep their population numbers lower.

"I bought a realistic lion costume from China and I sit in my garden all night long. I collect my poop from the toilet and when a cat comes by I roar and throw a little turd at them.

Also a bit tricky if you get the squits after a hot curry or an upset stomach though.
