Cat shi#te on drive way, hidden camera?

wall

I think the cat from across the lane is shi#ting on my gravel, or it could be the jack russel next door, how do i find out who it is? Its not every day so i cant do a stake-out.

Cctv?

My friends mum used 2 fill bottles of water and put them on the lawn, said it 'deters' cats...

It did...

wall

How or where does one get cctv, what kind of cost would it be?

cctv is a bit ott. what are you going to do when you find the culprit?

wall

If i found out who the culprit is i would ask the neighbour kindly to stop their animal ****ting in my garden, if its the dog next door they can stop it by keeping their little front gate closed and let it **** in their own garden or they can walk it on a lead past my house. If its the cat, i dont know yet, its a big headed/bossy cat so it needs bringing down a peg or two. I have a 3 month old daughter, i dont want people walking poo into the house as she will be crawling soon enough, so it will stop, i just hope in a nice way.

try the water bottle thing i **** u not

demanufactured

A cats owner cant stop them ****ting anywhere , and if its gravel i doubt its a cat as cats bury there **** and prefer soft ground , id say its the dog , cctv is a bit ott though the water bottle is a good idea

Kimbot

water bottle works for dogs and cats. Its weird but true!

Well its worth a bloody go b4 u go buying cctv to snipe a terror cat tis it not

wall

I`ll put a couple of bottles of water out tomorrow but i`m not going to leave them there, they look stupid. I too would have thought that cats liked pooing on softer ground so it could be the jack R. I hav`nt had the pooing before this week for about 2 or 3 months, its the same type and smell as before, it stopped last time around the time when i said aloud outside my neighbours open window what i would do to the animal if i caught it in action. I`d like to find out who it is as i should not have to stop it, its owner should.

I bet its the dog. cats are v private about their toilet - generally would not do it on a driveway. they like to dig a hole, do it and cover it up as they are clean. they like sand or clay not gravel.

I suggested CCTV because the OP specifically asked how to find out who it is, not to stop it. a bottle of water isn't capable of relaying a good description of the offender.

Not the cats that live near me, they're indiscriminate ****ting machines

Do go on. What about the taste? That might help narrow it down.

The cat in question is quiet arrogant, when i was digging the garden for the gravel 3 months ago it went to the toilet not 5 feet away from me on a few days, its not a very private or discreet specimen. I`d prefer to get the cctv to identify the culprit so if it happens again when i get rid of the bottles i would know who`s door to knock on.

If it's a cat. Ring the zoo and explain the situation to them, tell them you're garden is over run by cats etc and you can't leave your kid out in the garden (not that you'd want to in this weather).

They may be able to help you with some "big cat" spray i.e. lions / tigers piss. Hey presto no more cat**** anywhere near your place once you spray that. Or so I've been told.

I'd try the water bottle thing first though, it sounds easier.

Cats and dog shyte are aromatically different - cat shyte has a very distinctive smell, you can't miss it. It's also always covered over with soil or sand. It's also not typically curly!

Amazing - but I used to do a lot of weeding on my parents veg patch...

Now that you ask, its a bit like tuna patee, but a bit of tabasco sauce is required to make it half palatable.

Cats are people too!

This shyte is a bit of a curler, i`ll try to get a photo of it tomorrow and post it to see what you think.

cazzy

I still think it was the dog .....

I think you should take this further,... I wouldn't be happy if I was you. A residents association meeting is definetly on the cards!!

I mean cats and dogs ****ting!!! Its disgraceful!! Those pet owners should be ashamed of themselves!!

wall

I think cat shyte normaly smells like gear oil, this does`nt, i`ll get a better sniff in the morn after breakfast and give a better description tomorrow eve with a photo hopefully, thanks for all your assistance, better sign off now and get a cat-nap before work..

armour87

Didn't they used 2 use cats piss 2 wake up a KO'd boxer the smell was that bad?

cazzy

Male cats that havent been neutered smell. They spray the place to leave their scent and mark their territoy to get the ladies.
(ok i made up the ladies bit - I think its to tell other Tom cats to PFO)

Photos? Brill. Pity we don't have scratch-n-sniff in this version of vBulletin.

To get a proper ID of the culprit - leave out a tin of Whiskas & a tin of Pedigree Chum on your driveway. If you hear the dog-owner complaining that his/her tin opener is missing - you'll know it is the dog. If not, then by a process of elimination it must be the cat.


Best of luck!

I always find these guys have some neat stuff at good prices ...

Be careful about winding up the neighbors though, they might decide to get an alsation and them boys leave a fair calling card behind !

I'd check to see if Mr. Whippy lives nearby and has a cat.
