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.

Ahhh yes because educating people about how they are neglectful with animals clearly works...I've been telling people for years and guess what, they still open the window and let them roam.

These people know it's wrong, but they don't care because look how cute the cat is...plus it won't shut up because they keep allowing the behaviours. If it truly is the case about people being ignorant about cats, why aren't there more dogs roaming....they know it's wrong, they just don't care.

The reason there aren’t more dogs roaming is because dogs are a completely separate species from the wild wolves they descended from, house cats still interbreed with wildcats because we haven’t domesticated them yet.

Ahhh yes, justification for people to be careless with the pets. Gotta love it.
