How to prevent cats from shitting on my lawn?!?
(lemmy.world)
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.
It's pretty amazing to me how angry people get about dogs pooping in their yards and owners not picking it up when anyone with a cat who ever lets it out makes zero effort to keep that cat from pooping in other people's yards and most people don't seem to mind.
The older the cat, the less they bury their excrement. Sometimes it's just enough to obscure it so you step in it. Sometimes it's notburried at all. It's so much more offensive to me than dog poop that I have to assume there's some sort of genetic marker that some of you lack that makes me smell it as one of the most foul smells i've ever experienced. I've lived next to someone with 20 some cats and barely any yard and they made it completely impossible to enjoy my yard at all, and unlike dogs putting up a fence does nothing.
