Our current cat is kept indoors, as the previous 4 had been.
Your inability to train and/or manage a pet is your problem, not mine.

+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).

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?
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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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