Hello everyone,
(Hope I don’t get banned right away for posting a bunch of crap…)
Some animal is leaving a pile of droppings on our lawn almost every night, strangely always in almost the same spot (plus or minus 2 m (6.5 ft)). At first, I suspected the neighbor’s cat, but the pile seems too large for a cat, right? Also, don’t cats usually go into garden beds rather than right in the middle of the lawn?
Question: Can anyone tell me if this could still be cat droppings? If so, I guess a conversation with the neighbors is due.
I’m getting tired of cleaning it up every morning, and even more worried that my kids might step in it while playing or that my son might try to taste it. My nephew once caught worms that way, which was quite unpleasant. That really shouldn’t happen.
And if it’s something else: what could it be and, above all, how do I get rid of it?
Barbed wire, spring-loaded traps, anti-aircraft guns, nuclear bomb?
Best regards,
Andreas

So, how much does a lawn damaged by feces and urine cost? How much does a cat from a shelter cost?
Steven I would say we are far from lawn damage.

Further: do you really believe the cat owner would install motion detectors and water deterrents in my garden at their own expense? I have never heard of that happening. If you do that, hats off. Who still does that?
StevenWell, for me, my cat would definitely be worth that if there were no other solution. I would even buy one of those beepers for the neighbor. It’s a small price to pay compared to losing the cuddle buddy.Steven schrieb:
The judge wrote handwritten on the ruling: "What use is a fire selection lever if you don't want to install it?"You see. There was a ruling, so the search was not unlawful.Fuchur schrieb:
You see. There was a court order, so the search was not unlawful. Hello Fuchur
The court order specified the purpose of the search as the seizure of the Glock 17 serial no.: XXXXXX and the fire selector lever suitable for a Glock 17.
These two items were immediately handed over after the door was broken down and the dog was killed. Nevertheless, the search continued for hours without any justification. No imminent danger was mentioned either.

then you are the exception.
I don’t think many owners of outdoor cats would buy equipment costing at least 1,000 euros (about 1,100 USD), install it, and maintain it just to keep their cat away from the neighbor’s garden.
That said, your comment “if there was no other solution” makes me a bit skeptical again.

Another solution: a small animal electric fence along the privacy screen direction that some people put up around their house.
I'm glad to live in the countryside. The question here is cat or mouse poison.
No one minds animal droppings – it's just part of it, end of story.
