My Neighbor's Cats...
I need your help.
My neighbor's cats like to come over and crap in my back yard. I have horseshoe pits filled with sand, and a volleyball court filled with the same. These cats use all three as their own personal litter boxes. I've spoken with my neighbor who thinks it's a cat's right to wander wherever they like. I have a dog, but the only way he occassionally helps out is by eating the cat's poop, which gives me even more reason to want the cats to stay out. I can by law trap the cat's on my property, have animal control pick them up, and they will contact the owners to pick up the cats until the third time, when they will put the cats down. I don't want to go this route for a number of reasons, frivelous litigation from my neighbor (they're like that) being among them. Does anyone know a proven, effective way to keep cat's out of your back yard? I can cover the horseshoe pits, but the volleyball court is way to big to cover. I am not above frightening, shocking, or catapulting the animals, as long as no long term physical effects are inflicted upon the fuzzy little bastards. P.S. I don't hate cats, just cats using my backyard as a toilet. I anxiously await the inventiveness of my fellow planeteers. (I hope this thread was OK to do here...I know some are sensitive to non-football threads. I apologize in advance to those offended.) |

I would suggest hiring either Bwana or Iowaian on a consulting basis.

Place some of those cat mats around the parimiter.
You know. They're those mats that give a little 6-9 volt shock when stepped on. In a few days you can take them away and the cats will never step foot in your yard again.. |

Three huge sandpits, and you are complaining?
Man if you had a toilet in your backyard, I might take a crap in it.

I am amazed at everyone on this thread that condones killing the cats and then gets up in arms about dogs being killed on different threads.
What the hell is the difference?

That’s because cats are an infestation along the lines of rats and roaches. Dogs are mans best friend.

I've yet to see anyone say they think a dog should have the right to run wild and do as it pleases, but maybe I missed it.

Get a sprinler system installed in your yard. Every time you see the bastards walking over, turn it on.
That, or get some hard plastic covers to put over the pits and court. |
