Hi everyone,
Our next door neighbor feeds 4 stray cats and, as a result (since cats don't understand property lines ) these cats have decided to journey to our property whenever they need to do their business. They've made our lawn, landscaping and sides of our house a litter box.
So, we're looking for a safe, harmless way to keep them off of our property.
We have asked her to stop feeding them, but she has refused to stop.
Technically, we could file a complaint with our local police dept - but we don't want to resort to that unless we have exhausted all other options. We don't want to be "those" neighbors - we just don't want to be cleaning cat feces nearly every day when we don't have cats (and based on what I've been cleaning up, it doesn't appear these cats are very healthy).
We don't want to hurt them - we just don't want to have our small kids keep stepping in cat feces at every turn when they play outside.
Any "cat deterrent" that you've used that works?
