i am going thru the same thing, except i am the neighbor. talk to them. here it is a fine if animals go into someone elses yard. (see my thread)

if that does not work, do like i did when someones cat pissed in my porsche and kept peeing on my front door, haul it off.

look up battery powered motion sensor activated cat mace.

They been there for three months.

There are some spray products which are obnoxious to cats. They sell them at pet stores. Spray your deck and spray the area around the sand box.

I knew it.

That exactly what I am expecting.


I am just tired of picking up someone's dog siht, cat siht. Especially in places where my kids play. I am sure, to them, my kids are secondary compare to their precious cat.

Airsoft AK47 gun. Very quiet, but after about 3-4 of those little yellow balls zinging at his head, he'll figure out that your yard is a place of pain

Have had cats 15+ years (two now) and totally agree. But talk w/your neighbors first; anticipate the "how do you know it's our cat?" retort w/pictures. If this doesn't fix, then humane trap. But the cat -- unless it's retrained -- will likely just come back to your yard.

I've had some success disincentivizing unwanted animal intruders with a pellet gun. Airsoft is okay but doesn't sting enough to make the appropriate impression IMHO. Using a pellet gun loaded with a Beeman cleaning pellet (made of dense felt) and sprayed with a drop or two of WD40 will not only clean your pellet gun's barrel, but also provides an accurate, stinging, yet non-inurious and non-lethal option to nuisance animals in your yard. A last resort, to be sure.

I'm mortified.

Had me a neighbor from hell with 30+ cats. Seemed she encouraged her cats to take the sun on her car. Of course, it wasn’t long before my car was the host to thousands of little paw-prints. Neighbor thought it was funny. City hall had no cat related bylaws (only dogs). The local SPCA lent me a cruelty-free trap where I spent the summer capturing felines and bringing them in. Cost my neighbor $25 a pop to get her cats back.

Solved the problem by moving.

I have to do this around my cars. Someone in the neighborhood has put up a cat hotel and all the local cats come and visit. Once they have eaten and scratched the post left for them, they wander around, but don't seem to go back home - I wonder why! The car cover for my 911 is an open invitation for them to spray. I had to pick up a new bottle of stuff to keep them away the other day. I picked up "Boundary" at Pet Co. Smells like the other stuff I had been using, which smells like a watered down pepper spray. It does seem to work, but you do have to use it repeatedly around the areas that are affected.

Looks like I am taking a trip to the pet shop this afternoon. How often do you spray it?

It amazing how some people feel that their pet or animals are the king of the university and have not a care about how it effect others. People who have walk their dogs so they can pee on someone else's door way, like the steps on my front door instead of their own.

I spray whenever I remember. :D I usually get vigilant after I notice renewed cat activity around my cars. The directions say to spray daily, or as necessary until undesirable habit is broken. It's supposed to work for up to 24 hours. I probably spray around my cars a little more than the directions want, since this is outside, but it seems to work.

I had a tomcat spraying and crapping in the raised rose bed right by my front porch. To go inside my house required walking past the stink. I had no idea who's cat it was. One day when that cat was in mid dump I let my Doberman out. That cat jumped further than I figured was possible. I had to trap the cat and took him to the pound. Never saw it again. My rose bed smelled like roses again.

A guy at work had exactly the same thing but with cat piss. It was driving him crazy. So one night he set a humane cage trap with food in it and woke up the next morning to find the offending cat inside the cage. He said he emptied his bladder on the cat while it was in the cage and then let the cat go. He said the cat piss episode stopped immediately after that.

So maybe you could do the same but take a dump on the cat instead! :D

get a cover for your sandbox

Pussy problems? I can help. That pussy needs to be punished and you are the man to do it.

There's some good advice above. I like the air soft gun option. A pump air soft gun can shoot a load 325 fps at that pussy. It should do no real damage as long as you aim away from the face. Tag her in the rear, maybe.

The other option of covering up your property before the pussy comes along is a popular defense as well.

In the end it just comes down to you and the pussy.

Let us know how it goes.

You may even choose to make friends with it, yet another option.

Oh siht, that funny (have hot coffee in my hand right now. thankfully I didn't take a drink yet) and I really want to do that.

Oh no, I don't want to get into using any type of paint or air soft guns. They and many of them here seem to be the real tree huggers / animal lover type. The neighborhood will hang my ass dry if they found out I shoot, even if it is was harmless, at a cat.

I am an animal lover type .... so i use a Daisy bb gun pump up type rifle. You can see the bb going through the air, so can the animal. Now all I have to do is shake it ( BB sound). :)
