Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.
I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.
What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?

Go with what…continuing to allow people to have strays? No thanks… relocate the cat or give it to the SPCA to be sold to someone who ACTUALLY cares about the animals wellbeing.
Don’t cater to neglectful owners by providing places for them to shit in the wild. Disgusting
Ignoring strays, you do realise there is no practical way for a cat owner to control where their cat takes a shit?
That is not negligence, it’s nature.
You can’t tell a dog where to shit, the difference being you’ll pick it up where you can, and it probably can’t climb fences.
There literally is. You can respect your neighbors by not letting your cat roam free, the same way I don’t let my dog roam free. I really do not understand why people have trouble with this very simple concept.
Yeah…keep it inside and give it a box of whatever to shit in. This also isn’t just about their shit but the utter disrespect for the animal to allow it to roam free, unsupervised and the disrespect to the other humans who are forced to live with the animal you chose to set free
The cat is happy to go outside. It’s their natural behaviour. Doesn’t mean I approve but don’t spin this as being neglectful.
No shit. Dogs like going outside too, but it’s considered neglect if you aren’t in direct supervision.
It’s neglectful. You don’t know when it last ate, you don’t know what diseases it gets…it’s uncaring, and neglectful to the animal.
Throughout history, humanity has had to adapt to nature instead of trying to change it to suit humans in various ocasions. Where a cat takes a shit is one of those times lol. That said, cats are normally clean as fuck. My cats live free in the backyard and I have never seen or smell where they shit because they bury it very well and never in the middle of the yard. I don’t know how op is having problems with that, it is just weird.
Cats are domestic animals. We literally altered nature then flew them around the world. They are not native to NA. Keep your cats leashed or indoors and monitored when outside.
They aren’t domestic animals they’re tame animals, they still haven’t diverged from wildcats and there are a bunch of wildcat/house cat crossbreeds because of that.
Cats are semi-domestic at best.
