How can i stop my cats pooing in next doors garden.neighbours are getting very angry.am i obliged to clean it?
Answers:
You can buy a certain spray from either a pet shop or a garden centre. Don't know what they call it but it is not harmful to plants but keeps cats away.
You could buy some of this and give it to your neighbours to use.
Of course are obligated to clean it. You are responsible for your pets.
There is not much you can do. They can put down orange peel or lion poo (for sale) or squirt them with water if they catch them in the act. Cats poo - it's a fact of life. If we didn't have cats, the rodent populaion would be greater so maybe you should point that out to your neighbours.
You will never stop your cat so to keep the peace i would go &
clean it
cats never poo in their own garden!! it might be an idea to offer to clean it up on a weekly basis and see what your neighbour says
The expect humans to have animal instincts and animals to have human instincts. Nobody is bound for anything as long as animal kingdom is with us, the only fine line between purity and impurity. Thanks. anjum
There is cat repellent you can purchase to spread over area. Just check nearest specialty pet store. Also make sure their litter is cleaned and accessible each and everyday. If they are outdoor cats, put a litter inside and outside so they don't get lazy and poo in the neighbour's yard out of convenience.
And yes you are obliged to clean it up. They are your cats and your responsibility.
I have 3 cats and I'm not saying they've never pooed in someone else's garden but I do keep a litter tray which they use most of the time. That would help.
put a fence in, so they can't get over there! why is your neighbor complaining? thats ferterlizer!
Yes you have to clean it. Leash them.
buy your neighbours water guns and tell them to squirt them with water when they catch them in there garden.
this way your cats will assoichate there gardens with something bad and will avoid them.
also you can litter train them by putting there poop in a litter tray this way they wont need to use others gardens.
also appoligising to your neighbours is a good start and offer to clean the poop up.
dont feed it
What you ARE obliged to do as a cat owner is to keep it inside!!Your cat should NOT be wandering about outside. Keep it inside, where it is safer, will live longer, and won't have the opportunity to bother the neighbors.
A friend of mine said that having curry plants growing in the garden kept cats away . Another one I have heard is to sprinkle some pepper in the area where they wish to deposit their little present to you !
as a friendly neighbourly gesture,it would be a good idea to offer to clean it up. Also try putting scent pellets down to discourage the cats from pooing in the neighbours garden,also try making an area in your own garden and try to encourage your cats to poo there.
our neighbours at home used to throw shoes at our cats whenever they entered their gardens. it worked. so, allow your neighbours to do that, and before the cats have learned their lesson offer to clean up the poo.
I would have a word with your vet about finding something to encourage your cats not to poo next door. Of course the best course of action is to have litter trays and indoor cats- they are much healthier, live a lot longer, are not so prone to cat-killing diseases, and death by doc, car or pervert. Good luck.
One decision every cat owner must make is whether or not their feline friend will be allowed outdoors. Many people feel that keeping their kitties indoors deprives them of a full life. However, one must consider that the average life span of a totally outdoor cat is about a year and a half, while a totally indoor cat is expected to live upwards of 15 years.
Aside from the obvious dangers of car fan belts and tires, toxic plants, dogs and cruel people, there are many hidden dangers to cats allowed outdoors. Life-threatening dangers include:
* Diseases for which we currently do not have vaccines for (Feline Aids),
or vaccines that are not reliably effective
(Feline Leukemia, Feline Infectious Peritonitis).
* Heartworm. Yes, it is true that a cat can get heartworm, through mosquito bites. Shorthairs are at higher risk than longhairs.
* Antifreeze. Its sweet taste is irresistible to cats, and a cat who has walked through a small pool of antifreeze and cleans its paws has ingested a fatal dose.
* Skin cancer. Light colored kitties (especially white) are at risk for skin cancer of the ears due to exposure to direct sunlight.
* Hanging/choking. Those neat little cat collars which do not provide breakaway or stretch releases have killed many a cat.
* Fighting among outdoor kitties not only spreads disease, it can result in painful abscesses which require medical attention (an untreated abscess can kill a cat). Unaltered tom cats are prime candidates for such fighting, not to mention they will impregnate any and all receptive females they come upon.
* Toxoplasmosis. A single celled organism that cats can ingest while eating prey that has been exposed. Not only can it kill a cat, it is contagious to people and can result in severe birth defects to human babies whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. Wearing rubber gloves while handling litter pan duties and gardening is highly recommended for pregnant women. Finding another home for your cherished pet is NOT necessary.
As if that is not enough food for thought, consider our wildlife. Cats kill many songbirds each year, plus rabbits, squirrels, mice, chipmunks, reptiles, etc. Most areas are not overrun with these creatures, and cats are not performing a necessary service by killing them.
Being neat creatures, cats bury their feces. It's not a lot of fun to be digging in your garden and get a handful of that! Not to mention that kitty excrement is not an effective fertilizer, or that your neighbor will probably not see the humor of their gardens being dug up and destroyed.
Non-life threatening things outdoor cats are exposed to can serve to make our human lives miserable also. Fleas, ticks and mites would just as soon bite you as they would the family pet, and getting them out of your home is expensive and time-consuming. These parasites can also carry life-threatening diseases. Kitties who come inside with motor oil or used chewing gum on their bodies and sit on your antique sofas cause quite a stir, also. Ringworm is sometimes contracted by a cat while outdoors digging in the dirt; this fungus is very contagious to humans.
Cats do not observe property lines by any means. To them, a fence is something to climb on, not a barrier. Your neighbor may not have a problem shooting, trapping or poisoning your family pet.
There are so many obvious benefits to keeping your cat indoors. Indoor cats are no lazier or less happy than their outdoor counterparts. Provide a window perch for them, put out a bird feeder for entertainment. There are so many toys available for cats now, both the interactive kind (a stick with a string with something fun on the end), and the toys that do not require human intervention. Avoid toys which have small parts that can come off and cause choking or gastrointestinal problems. A paper grocery bag will provide hours of entertainment for your kitty. A scratching post of some kind is a necessity.
An indoor/outdoor cat can easily be made a totally indoor cat with perseverance on your part. They may resent their confinement for a short time, but they will adjust. Another option is a safe outdoor enclosure. It must be carefully constructed, as you need to keep other animals OUT, as well as your cat in. Screen porches work well, too, just be sure to give the kitty some way to get back into your house if they need to.
Many cats live their entire lives without ever setting foot on grass. The difference in their life expectancy as well as quality of life speaks for itself.
