So, he's pasturized??:rolleyes: :D

Just for Leo:

pellet guns and rat traps also work

Thank you, NA. I do appreciate that. However, and I'm really not trying to be offensive, I just find it ridiculous that it should be my responsibility to keep someone else's animal from pooping in my yard.

I have tried a couple of things, but they fade over time or rain washes them away, requiring me to work at keeping someone else's animal from pooping in my yard.

I called animal control once to see what they suggested. All they told me is that it is legal to trap on my own property.

While I really dislike cats, it is not my desire to trap someones pet and send it off to a shelter.

You could get a badger. Tie it to a stake in your yard. That'll scare 'em away.


:D

Would probably scare my children away, too. That wouldn't be a problem, but then they'd just be in the house.

How about a scarecrow?

This works great on the seals in Newport Harbor. I bet it would work on cats.

That's a good idea! :)

My annoyance remains, though, that it is expected to be my responsibility to control an animal that belongs to someone else.
