Hi all,

Just looking for your opinions here - neighbours cat recently (2 weeks ago) taken to defecating on my lawn, it's digusting and am dry reaching on collecting it's "presents" - how do I approach the owners without obviously saying to them what I would like to say, but so that there is no falling out over it as I wouldn't like that.

I personally think it's wrong that animal owners let there animals stray around the place and do their business everywhere except in their own garden !! How and ever, my question is how to approach the neighbour without sayinf what I'd really like to say :) -c-h-i-n

If your lawn is small then I would spray water around the edges of it if yo have a hose. Cats don't like togo near wet ground so it may work.

If that fails...buy a dog

DK. I had the same problem a few years ago,with a cat.One of our small ones spent over a month in hospital, as a result of picking up some bug from cats business. I tried all the different ways, ie plug ins/scary toy dog/sprays and gels/ and clear bottle of water.None would work.In the end,I got aloan of a battery electric fence from a farmer,and put fence right around lawn, about 4 ins off ground.I waited till I saw cat about to come into garden, and turned it on and went indoors.I watched from inside, and cat approached wire, and then went up to wire.He touched the wire with his nose, and boy did he jump, with the shock, and ran for his life from garden, and never again came back.I left the wire in place for about a month,without been connected up. I never had my cat back again.
Hope you find a way, to rid this cat,as they can be quite dangerous for some children.

Buy yourself a Supersoaker and spend the weekend lying in wait, every time you see the cat blast it with water - it will get the message
