Cat shit in my flower bed

[Foul Mike]

Goddamnit, I have the Red Ass.
I have a flower bed only for myself and others that like pretty flowers in the spring.
It only has a few flower plants that come up in the spring and are very pretty, I love them.

The fuckin cat next door and all of it's friends from near and far have shit the flowerbed full over the winter. and I scoop regularly.
They are killing my fucking flowers and those that aren't dead already are having a tough time of it from the time of the turd drop and piss hit until I get it cleaned out again.
The filthy sonsabitches. Way too many cats.

I think it is time for my pellet gun to "Spring into action." Rant over. FM

A couple bowls of antifreeze goes a long way

 

[TheGerman]

Let's not shoot or poison them, ok.

Clean it out and spray the area with citronella, lemongrass, orange or peppermint. They'll find a new place to shit.

Or plant cat nip and enjoy cracked out cats in your yard.

 

[Mater2009]

Maybe you need a little electricity?

M14 Mine old but effective .

 

[TheBigCountry]

Motion powered sprinklers work wonders

 

[forrestgump01]

no pellet gun , that's what suppressed 22's are for .
little hint , they tend to come around after dark and early in the morning.
have a hole pre- dug and ready for disposal.
Cats are the most god awful thing ever created.
Dogs go to heaven and all cats will burn in HELL !

This is probably the most sensible solution.

However, shooting cats with airsoft gun makes for awfully fun sport.

Give them a break - they can't find any toilet paper.

I don't know, I can't stand humans but love animals.

It's kind of crazy. My wife made an example once of some homeless guy wandering into the street and me almost hitting him with my car. She said I'd scream and yell at him and make fun of him and call him names and shit and then nudge him with the front bumper to get his ass out of the road.

Same example with a turtle and I'd open the door and yell 'Im coming buddy! Dont worry!'

She's probably right lol

Yep, same here.

I will say that I'm usually a big animal lover, and also like animals more then people.

My wife will try and drive over any rattlesnake she sees on the road, yet I will swerve out of the way to miss them.

The older I get, the more and more I enjoy animals and nature. My property is full of all sorts of wildlife that I really love watching. Coyotes, bobcats, owls, hawks, Gila monsters, bats, birds, - I could go on and on. Inside the house I have a dog, 4 tortoises and a crested gecko. I want to get poison dart frogs and a saltwater reef tank.

Life just seems better with animals around. Feral cats used to bug me, they are pretty destructive. But since I've moved to the desert, you don't see feral cats around. They don't last long in the desert...

Upgrade to solid PVC paint balls. ?

Put a litter box next to your flower bed

Yup, pretty much this^^. Sometimes, I feel like I have more compassion for a kerr dog, than some humans I've met in my life. I know that if I feed, care, and provide a home for that F'n dog, that dog, 99% of the time, will lay it's life down for me. Certain people, probably not. Mac

Check your local ordnance’s.
We can furnish and set the traps and town animal control will come pick up what you catch.

 

[Skimafia]

I feel your pain. I am also an avid gardener with some neighbor cats that roam free.
I have churned up cat shit more times then I care to count. There is nothing worse than making a hole for an annual and grabbing a handful of wet cat shit when I'm backfilling

 

[Foul Mike]

I ain't gonna kill nor maim anybodies fur baby. Just pissed at them all.
I have an old 17 pellet pistol that you have to pump up. I will oil it's leathers.
I figure about 4-5 pumps with a well placed shot will put a welt on their ass they can lick for a while and remember where they got it.
In between licking their ass and the next time they have to shit I hope they leave my fuckin flowers alone.
If they don't, they get 2 places to lick but usually cats ain't that stupid.
You have to leave the window open a crack to get a second shot on the dumb ones. They run if they hear the window slide open a bit.
Most learn really quick. I should have been on this earlier but it is cold outside.
In the mean time I can hear the Cat Ladies squawking like it was their ass that took the hit. "Poor Fluffy does your heinie hurt?" Cat tells them, "Fuckin A. I got shot in the ass."
You have to be really sly and get up early and stay awake late to catch this Old Fart in action.
I have 2 good hits so far this afternoon. It is funny watching them run with a turd hanging out of their ass.

Great looking yard......we don't have free roaming cats in our neighborhood........, you are doing good.......

 

[Jgunner]

Damn nice yard. I hear cats make great fertilizer. Your flowers will love it!

How about some steaks marinated in antifreeze for your dogs.......these are companion animals........they are family members..........I am ashamed that a Marine has that solution to this problem..............FUCK YOU.........

 

[Sean the Nailer]

People want to keep cats, then THOSE people can clean up after their cats. Dog owners are liable and responsible for their dogs and its actions, right?

Same/Same.

Put the onus on the cats owners. Make them think/know that it is a good idea to keep the cat indoors.

 

[natdscott]

I don't know, I can't stand humans but love animals.

I’m with you.

Except that feral cats are not included.



Fire for effect....

 

[Ravenworks]

First off I don't care about your feelings.
If people gave a shit about their animals they wouldn't let them run wild.
Same responsibly owning a cat as
a K9.
Sponges won't kill the the cat but make it wish it was dead.

 

[Marinevet1]

Steak's will kill your dog........First off fuck your feelings............your words............once again FUCK YOU..........are really a Marine...........or you just a pussy that made it thru boot camp........

 

[Molina336]

I’ve heard you can sprinkle cayenne pepper in bark dust to keep cats away.

 

[Waorani]

Could be worse. I had neighbor's 300lb pot-bellied pig rooting up my yard many years ago. Could never convince her when it went missing that I wasn't serious about shooting it - and I didn't!

 

[BytorJr]

Not a big fan of cats here...kittens are cute though. Cats...suck. Dogs kick ass so long as they're > 30 to 35 lbs. Sporting/Gun dogs are my favorites. I'm all about culling the feral cat population, but I shudder to think folks are killing their neighbor's cats. Cats do serve a purpose as they kill the vermin and are actually pretty good at keeping snakes off premise. That said, one or 2 cats can patrol a LOT of neighborhood.

It floors me when people's outdoor cats go missing and they are distraught - like WTF folks...cars, owls, eagles, hawks, a few SH members...unless they're on a farm they don't really have a good chance. Granted, one has lived in my 'hood for 5 years and about the time I think it's been done-in, it pops out of the sewer (ewwww). Ain't no dog going to live in the sewer. .

Though I agree...if you have a critter it's your job to keep it on your property. I'm pretty sure though I could have told my boy (he's definitely in Doggie Heaven) to go walk around the block and he'd have done so with no problems. Sometimes I'd close my eyes and let him guide me home after our halfway point (I'd peak occasionally though...just to make sure).

[myronman3]

Years ago, i had my yard fenced in. Didnt stop every cat in the county from using my backyard as their own literbox. Front yard wasnt fenced in, and every fucking dog in town (and i never seen any of them do it) was shitting up my front yard.
Unlike many of you folks, i do NOT have an aversion to thinning the ranks of the offenders. If that makes me a dirty cocksucker, so be it. I will tell you though, i never smoked anything wearing a collar. I believe they were all either feral or coming from farms as i lived on the edge of town. It didnt take long for the situation to get sorted out.

 

[cattleman99]

What cat?

Our dog doesn’t let strays come close to the flower beds.

 

[Ravenworks]

I'm a Marine and was taught things like Honor and Respect.

You on the other hand sound entitled and butt hurt, get over yourself.

People don't respect what others have and after awhile it gets old.
Fuck that.
It's always nice to have some shitbird living in the neighborhood to prove this theory.

 

[BJG56]

I am one that loves cats (and dogs). I've owned 1 or more cats for the past 30 years. BUT, cats really should be kept indoors unless they're farm cats. Feral cats are very disease-prone and have short, hard life expectancies. Always wanted a dog but r/t work or living arrangements couldn't have one.

I absolutely hate squirrels. They are extremely destructive little assholes. If able to, I'd shoot every last one of 'em. Sure got plenty of 22lr ammo for the job.

 

[TxWelder35]

Probably my cats sorry.

just picked up 2 feral cats from the animal shelter. I feed em in my side yard, they control the rat population around here. Been wondering where they were shitting. Guess it was your flower beds. if they go missing...meh

 

[aam]

I had a cat problem many years ago. My front yard was a toilet for all the cats in my street.

So I started thinking, how I get rid of cats without discharging a firearm in a public place.



Cat trap!

Cats seem to like tuna in olive oil. I caught five cats in nine weeks.

Just to let you know I did not kill any cats after I caught them.

There is a place here in Australia called the RSPCA where people take stray or unwanted animals. People normally go to the RSPCA to see if their missing pets are there. If they are, you go in and pick them up free of charge.



I went to a different place called the Animal Welfare League. All the cats I caught went there. Why AWL as opposed to the other? I’m glad you asked.



AWL is miles away from my place, no one is willing to travel that far to pick up their cat, also if you happen to find your cat at AWL they charge you for the release of the cat, after they de-sex it and all other associated costs.



I have not seen any of those cats back at my place.

The CDC has a guide about Toxoplasmosis and its prevention.

 

[HiDesertELR]

Cardboard box "trap" - no cat can resist...

 

[MtnCreek]

I had one cat coming around fighting. I put up with it for a while then finally disposed of him. Next night I had more cats that I'd never seen before. My theory is I whacked the local cat warlord that was keeping all the other cats in check.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Reminds me of a recent squirrel story...

 

[supercorndogs]

I live in the mecca of stray cat neighborhoods. There are at least 20-30 cats on my block, and at least two people with giant cat feeders they fill. Many of them shit in my flower beds.

The best solution I have found is "dirty wood chips." Call your local city office and ask them if they have pile where they chip all the tree branches from around town. I asked my city, and they told me to go take all I want because they pretty much consider it junk. Cover your flower beds with 4-8 inches of it. The high carbon content will compost the cat shit, rather than loading the soil down with nitrates and killing your plants. Even without cat shit 4 inches will break down to probably about 1/2" to 1" of compost buy the end of summer. so you may need to check and reapply. My Tulips, daffodils, crocus, muscari, and irises look fine, with many neighborhood cats adding their sick to my beds.

You may be surprised how fast that composting on the surface can change our sandy Colorado soil a deep dark brown. I start new flower beds with this stuff also. I simply border the area and then cover the surface. Some of my beds are on top of old gravel driveway, and after two years you can stick your finger through the gravel layer that was compacted. All little bacteria and fungus this stuff feds will do more work for you than you would believe.

I am far ahead enough I can compost the chips on my own property for about a year before applying them now.

Its an important note that dirty wood ships has leaves and cambium layer in it. The small live branches from the tree are the best part. Something like commercial wood chips is too high in carbon and wont break down as fast, or feed the biology and plants as well.

 

[dtdk]

We have and love our cats but they are strictly indoor cats

 

[FS1]

You have to think outside the box...Just tell Bigfat and DirtyD there is some available pussy in your flower bed. Those cats won't ever come back after that.

It'll break down even faster if you add a bunch of N to it. :-D

My neighbor's cat likes to poop in my mulch. It was almost a nightly thing. I talked to my neighbor about it, he claims the cat doesn't belong to him, but he admits that he feeds it, gives it water, and leaves their garage open so it sleeps in their garage... I've tried putting cinnamon out, citrus out, cat repellent out, and this cat still poops in my mulch.

I eventually noticed that the cat doesn't like light. So I've left my front porch light on all the time and installed motion lights around my house that kick on when there is movement. Cat pretty much stays away now.

Was told by a friend...Build a little flower bed mine field out of a few rat traps.

Ill loan you one of my wolves. Nikita kills everything that enters the yard. Got 5 squirrels, a possum, a couple birds, and a skunk last season. Just remember she loves belly rubs.

 

[Lapuapalooza]

So what I hear you saying is you have sooo much pussy at your door you can’t keep up? And this is a problem??

 

[kenny1773]

people need to keep their damn cats under control

Paintball guns work well too, when fluffy comes home with blue and orange spots (and welts) the owners get the idea their cat is a fucking problem
