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?


The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people’s pets that aren’t welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it’s simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.

    I mean, good for you and your good luck in finances. This isn’t something we can all afford, though. A lot of my neighbors used rusty reel mowers growing up. Even the gas variants were out of reach.

      Where are you from? These days, Gas and electric mowers are the standard everywhere I’ve lived here in Canada.

      My daughter has two reel mowers. (She had one, and I gave her mine.)

      They don’t get used much though, it’s more for nostalgia along with my scythe.

        I’m imagining that you have a grim reaper outfit to go along with that scythe. And that you do your lawns at night.
