Unless you see your neighbor’s cat actively taking a dump, there’s a very good chance it’s not a cat.

It's a cat.

They try to bury it in our flowers beds they have mulch. Then the rain comes and uncovers the foul smelling poop. You can still smell it anyway because their attempt at burying it only covers it with a thin layer that doesn't do anything.


It's not a damn fox. Our back yard is completely gated with a wooden fence and no spots where an animal has been digging. There are cats running all over around though.

Every hear of Sly like a fox?

After taking pictures of the destruction and their cats at work doing it the neighbor was still letting cats roam. I warned them we were going to trap. So we would trap and bring them over and knock on door. I warned them we would trap and take to shelter. When again nothing was done I trapped and took to shelter. Shelter called them to come get their cats which they never did.

Now no more cats! Better for the environment and the entire neighborhood.

That makes me sad. Hopefully the cats weren’t euthanized. Abs I’m not a crazy cat lady, FFS; I just really care about animals. It’s not their fault they had a-hole owners. We never let our cat out.

The fact that you considered poisoning it - ugh. That’s inhumane. I understand your frustration but you are cold-hearted.

We had nextdoor wars over this issue recently. Cat owners truly don't see an issue at all. I think one remedy was sprinkling a type of scary apex predator pee (mountain lion, I don't know) to deter them.

This is my question. Have you talked to them?

We've had outdoor and indoor cats. If a neighbor came to me and said, hey, your cats are fouling our yard or destroying our lawn furniture, I'd keep the cats inside for awhile and check in with them.

A quick google search suggests that cars dislike lavender, lemon and oregano among other plants. Can you plant some of these things OP?

Why should a home owner have to spend money, time, and labor in order to deter someone else’s pet from entering their private property? How about the pet owner keep their pet on their own property and clean up their own animal’s dookie? What gives pet owners the right to soil their neighbor’s yards with foul smelling excrement? Dog owners have to clean up after their dogs. Why are cat owners exempt?

Buy a trail camera and get pictures. You'll be amazed at all the creatures. Sadly, humans think their property is actually theirs, but you still actually share it with wildlife. You're fighting a losing battle and if you can't handle some poop, then maybe you should see someone because you may have OCD.

Let's stop with the "crazy cat lady" insults. I think it got started in the witch trials.

We have seen a fox in our yard and we have a 6 ft gated fence. I don’t know why they come in here because we have a dog. But a fence (and evidently a dog) won’t keep them out.

I had an indoor outdoor cat against my wishes. Trying to keep him inside was damn near impossible-he was fast and would dart out any door that was opened.

I also have no idea how to keep an animal from crapping outdoors. That is natural to them.

Luckily my neighbors were kind and understanding. I worried about him all the time between a busy street and possible nasty animal hating neighbors like OP.

Our current cat is kept indoors, as the previous 4 had been.

+1. I’d tell the neighbors first that it needs to stop immediately. After that, I’m grabbing the air rifle (lower profile than a .22, we live pretty close in).

Your inability to train and/or manage a pet is your problem, not mine.
