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?

    Doubt it. You’d 100% be telling someone to clean up their dog shit.

    Also, the shit is only a small aspect of the disrespect and neglect people push on their outdoor cats.

    I cannot fathom the low intelligence required when it comes to people not understanding why you should have cats unmonitored, unleashed and roaming free.

      Oh the shock and horror, the animal that hasn’t been fully domesticated yet likes to be outside. Just because you let your cat go outside doesn’t mean you’re neglecting it.

      There are 5 basic welfare needs: suitable environment, suitable diet, need to be housed with or without other animals (species specific), need to be protected from suffering/disease and the need to show natural behaviours. Sure most of them can be met indoors but you can’t provide a suitable environment or let them show natural behaviours unless you allow them to go outside when they need to or you live in a mansion that’s big enough for a cat to fill it’s territorial range.

        Cool, so they are not domesticated so we should consider them pests and have the population culled because it’s an invasive species. Thanks

          So all non domesticated animals are pests now? What about geese? Or deer? Are they all pests? They’re invasive species in certain countries too.
