How do I stop neighborhood cats from using my front yard as a litter box?

If you let your pets run wild, you take the chance of never seeing them again. Pretty simple. By the way, the law is 100% on my side both here and in most cities. All pets are required to either be on a leash or otherwise contained (fence, pen, tied out, etc) when outside. Your pet is not allowed to leave your property unless leashed.

If you think that letting your pets run wild makes you either a responsible pet owner or respectful of your neighbors, you are sorely mistaken. I do not own a cat, therefore I should not have to deal with a cat. Remember that just because you love your pet, doesn't mean everybody loves your pet. Many pet owners forget that simple fact.

Got it.....for the third time. You keep saying the same thing. BTW, if you followed the thread correctly you would have known that the OP said they were Feral, so your entire post is not even relevant. My issue was with the antifreeze not only being a very cruel thing to do, but also not a very smart thing to do. (maybe a neighborhood dog like yours gets out one day because your 5 year old daughter didnt shut the gate all the way, or some kid tries to drink some.) For some reason you cant seem to get past this and keep reverting to property rights. BTW, you did advocate in post 21 but now your backpedaling. I guess Im glad I dont live near you. God forbid my dog escapes one day and he ends up poisoned or shot because he stepped foot on your lawn.

I'm not backpedaling, my entire post was "Rofl". I thought Hugh's reply was funny, still do.

BTW, my posts no longer have anything to do with the original one. This is "off topic" after all. Lazy disrespectful pet owners who let their animals run free are just a pet peeve of mine.
