View Full Version : 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.)

Get a BB gun and give them a little motivation not to come into your yard. Just pump it once or twice, so it won't hurt them, and try to hit 'em in the rump with the BB.

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..

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.

there are also little motion detector that will go off automatically


i think they sell them to scare away the blue birds that eat goldfish outa people backyard ponds.


should work for cats.


i also think there is some sprays used to litter box train cats. you can spray it around the sand pits and its suppose to keep cats away.

In college, me and my roommates had to defend the volleyball pit from neighborhood cats. BB guns, slingshots, and a high powered hose did the trick nicely.

My buddies liked to shoot them and watch them run, but I liked to spring out from behind the fence, chase them into the corner and pound them ruthlessly with the water. It got the best results.

The problem is, the little sh!ts come over at night. I'd need night vision goggles. I have a pellet gun, but they'll probably hear me pump it. I suppose I could install motion detection lighting, but after a while, I'm not sure that would scare them away. My back yard is huge, so any kind of a barrier or perimeter approach would cost an arm and a leg. I wouldn't mind booby-trapping the horseshoe pits (their preference in crapping spots) and once they're afraid of those, move to the volleyball court. I tried mousetraps, but the sand screwed up the tripping mechanism.

We have quite a few cats in our neighborhood. They were quite a problem a couple years ago and one evening a cop shows up on the doorstep to tell me that my neighbors have been complaining about my cats.

Bear in mind now... this is a town of 2000 people. My neighbors know when I take a crap. These people know damn good and well they aren't our cats but at any rate... they're old so they figured to blame me and I'd take care of the problem.

The cop tells me to stop by the station and get one of their live traps so the next day I stop in and am talking to the chief of police about the situation and I ask him why its my responsibility to rid the neighborhood of these cats. He tells me that it really isn't but he'd owe me one if I'd handle it for them. Since it never hurts having the cops owing you one I agree and ask what I'm supposed to do with them once they're trapped.

I had to laugh because this is an answer you'd only get in a small town.

"Ah, hell. I don't care what you do with them. Take 'em outside of town and dump them by some farmers house."


Of course this is the same Chief of Police who told me to go cut down my neighbors tree some night when they weren't home because it was preventing me from having line of site to the wireless internet transmitter a local ISP had just put up.

Try spraying the intruder with a blast from the hose. Most cats will turn and run although some actually enjoy water, especially on a hot day. For them, you must try other tactics, like planting rue. The blue foliage makes this an attractive garden accent, but cats can't stand the odor and will make a wide berth around the planting. Thorny roses also deter cats.

Some gardeners use homemade remedies. Although I can't personally attest to the success of these methods, it won't hurt to try them. Sprinkle your plants with crushed pepper. It will irritate cats and may even produce a few extra pepper plants in the garden. Cayenne is also said to work though you will need to reapply it after every rain. Or try ground-up grapefruit and lemon rinds. Or make a tea of rue, hot pepper liquid, or lemon juice to spray on plants.

Commercial products like predator urine and cat (and dog) repellents also are available at many garden centers. Or try to get rid of unwanted cat visitors with devices that use sound, light, and/or water to scare them away. Another possibility is to lay down mats, which have soft upward facing points. It won't hurt you--or the cats--to walk on these, but most cats don't like to step on them.

If you have bird feeders near your garden, move them to a new location or hang them higher than a cat can jump. Otherwise, cats may continue to visit your garden in hopes of catching birds.

will these cats come up to you when you're outside?

Call one over, put on some welder's gloves because you're going to have a short fight on your hands, then choke it to death. It's quiet so nobody is going to hear the cat screaming.

Once its been choked to death, take it out and lay it behind the back tire of your car then back out over it.

Then, pick it up and take it to your neighbors while acting upset and apologize for running over their cat.

You could just lay it out in the middle of the street but they sound like jerk-offs so there would be more pleasure gained in watching them be upset about their smashed cat.

I'm not sure why you don't call animal control. They can't sue you for following the law.

However, if you've validated that it's Ok to kill them on your property then you should figure out what methods are allowed and dispatch of them ASAP. You probably only have to kill one or two of them before those f**kers next door will decide to keep the rest inside.

I'm sure I'm not the only neighbor they're irritating. I thought about catching them, and attaching a note to their collar stating something like "If I catch this cat in my yard again, It will be the last time". I thought maybe an anonymous threat like this might work. Hate to be a pussy about it, all incognito and all, but this guys a sue-happy little geek. Him and his wife LOVE their cats, and they say they have kitty litter for them inside, so maybe the fear of losing the cats will make them keep them inside, or at least inside their yard like people have to do with their dogs.

Another one I walked a friend through when he had cats getting in his garage and climbing on his car.
Take an extension cord and clip off the female end, lamp cord will work also. Connect an alligator clip to the white and black wires, then place in a good sized box a piece of sheet metal big enough to cover the bottom of the box. Place on the sheet metal a porcelain saucer or plate and place on that a metal bowl filled with milk.
See where I’m going with this?
Now using an alligator clips connect one wire to the sheet metal, the other to the metal bowl and plug in your cord to a wall socket. The saucer/plate will insulate the Neutral (white wire) from hot (black wire) until a cat comes along, stands on the sheet metal and puts it’s nose to the milk, completing the circuit. The box is to make clean up easier. ;)

I've been electricuted SEVERAL times. High voltage low amp from a neon transformer was the worst pain I've had. I've been hit by 110 more times than I can count.

I used to do consumer electronics repair and one of the "jokes" we used to play on noobs was hooking up a large (1 farad) capacitor under their chair with wires poked into the foam leading up to their ass. Basically a capacitor is a battery that discharges it's stored power nearly instantly. When they sat down they got one hell of a shock and a little "bang" to go with it. Of course I experienced this first hand.

Depends on the city. Hell, if he does it "the wrong way" he could even be subject to animal cruelty prosecution in some areas. His best bet is to find out from local animal control how far can go. However, none of that stops him from being sued. I could sue you for emotional distress from just the thought of you killing cats. Would I win? Who knows, probably not. However, you'd have to hire a lawyer and take time off work to show up in court, wouldn't you?

It would probably only kill it if it had spasms and couldn't get it's head out of the bowl. It very well could crap and piss itself, so the box is certainly a good idea. Household voltage isn't as evil as most people think.

We had an electrician wire up a rack badly one time and I grabbed it three or four times before I figured out that I actually WAS being electricuted and wasn't just having muscle spasms when I lifted my arm up.

True that 120 VAC 60 Hz at 20 Amps will suck enough to remind you not to do that again, but I guess the only way to know for sure is to get a cat and try it.

1. Buy various shades of neon spraypaint, some gloves and a cheap coverall.
2. Trap the kitties.
3. Carefully transform the kitties into your own work of modern art being careful not to get any paint in their eyes.
4. Get rid of the spraypaint and accessories a good distance from the home.
5. Release your newly inspired works of art. Admire your creativity as they playfully scamper back to their owner. Relish in your neighbors excitement when he discovers just how interesting and unique they look.

Why don't you just gather up your dog poop for a week and sling it over the fence, or walk your dog in his yard. If you have to pick up after his animal it seems only fair that he do the same.

Cats don't rule the fuggin neighborhood!! Revolution!

My concern is being sued over some bullsh!t like "emotional distress" or other crap once the city puts them down. I know they wouldn't win, but I don't feel like shelling out a couple of grand defending myself. These people sued the sellers of their home 5 years after they bought it because they thought the carpet wore out faster than it should have, and therefore the seller must have lied about the age of the carpet. They must have some a-hole relative who's a lawyer or something. I live in Phoenix, and these a-holes actually complained to my wife about some of our guests parking under the shade of their tree...even though it was in the street..."they liked to park there, and after all, it is their shade...from their tree..."

You wouldn't even have to get a lawyer on this one. Odds are it wouldn't make it into court in the first place before it was dismissed. Laws are laws, all you did was follow them. They could try suing the city, but a fat lot of good that would do them.

My thoughts, as a cat owner.

I keep my cats inside. IMO, cats are and should be INDOOR pets. This way, my cats don't f#ck with other people or their property, or get attacked and eaten by any number of creatures that might be inclined to do so.

But some people insist on letting them roam outside. Obviously no animal is going to respect property rights, and if these cats have zeroed in on this sand pit as a shitbox, they consider it their territory, and that's it. Perhaps some of the deterrant methods mentioned will work, but cats are very stubborn creatures (trust me, the spray DOESN'T WORK).

So basically this comes down to the pricks who own the cat taking responsibility. The onus should be on THEM, not YOU, to control their pets. It seems to me you've done enough to let them know that you don't find their cats shitting in your yard to be acceptable. They don't care.

So if I was you, first I'd scoop up the shit and pissed on sand and dump it at the base of their front door. That should be a strong hint that you've had enough. And If that doesn't do the trick, I'd them simply load up a can of tuna with some rat poison, place it near the sand and kill the f#ckers. Once you see the can's empty, remove it. Let these idiots prove you did it. Good luck with that.

Irresponsible pet owners SUCK. Sounds like a learning experience is in order.

This may work.... I did something along those lines with a neighbor that would let her dog out to shit in my front yard. One day they came home while I was flinging dog crap back into their yard. I just smiled at them and went into my garage. They kept a better eye on their dog. Another lady likes to walk her dog around the neighborhood and lets it crap in everyone elses yard. Well, one day when I wasn't working, I caught them in my yard. :D I told her that she was to take the shit with her, and if I EVER found anymore dogshit in my yard.... I would find her house to let my lab shit in her yard. (My dog outweighs hers by at least 25 pounds.)

I don't think I'd bother going up to their door though. I'd just fling the crap right over the fence and let them step in it when mowing their yard. :D

I would figure this story is appropriate:

My coworker had a problem with his neighbors cat coming over and taking a dump on his doorstep. So one day him and his buddies were having a few beers and saw that cat. They grabbed a can of white spray paint and gave the black cat a nice stripe from its head to its tail. A week later, they had seen no such cat and finally had a reason to go over to his the cats house. When he finally got there he saw this scrawny cat stumbling around without any hair. He asked what was up with his cat.
"Some asshole spray painted a stripe on him, so we had to shave off his hair. And to make matters worse, the spray paint chemicals got into the cats head and gave it brain damage."

My coworker and his buddies quickly got the hell outta there and laughed there asses off for the rest of the nite.

So since they already know you have issue with the cats, i suggest not doing anything to alter the cats.

In all seriousness, I like the suggestion of animal control sending them a letter explaining what would happen to their cats, especially one referencing complaints by neighbors. Every once in a while their cats will diappear for a couple of days and they freak. You can hear the nerd-ass husband out in the yard doing his 'tarded "cat call"...sounds gay as hell.

Get yourself a good BB gun.
Or, if you're afraid you may hurt them, an airsoft pistol.

The cost in both cases is about the same: ~$100. The former can injure/kill the cat; the latter will sting but not hurt them unless you hit them in the eye at close range. Airsoft = plastic BBs; the pistols operate on green gas... rounds travel approx 350-400 fps with an effective range of 30 meters. Some come fully automatic - can spray 50-100 rounds in a matter of a couple trigger squeezes :D
