One of my cats, Archie, brings back sticks that you throw for him.
I used to play tennis with my cat
It would sit at the top of the stairs, while I was lobbing wine bottle corks and ping pong balls. It got so good at it that I could nearly always catch them. Then I would have to run up the stairs and pretend to chase it. I had to look for it and pretend I couldn't see it, but when I was half way down the stairs it would come scurrying out onto the landing, peering over the top stair, inviting me to chase it again. It found it a novel way of keeping fit.
If a cat craps randomly over your garden, I think it's best to take a pragmatic approach: dig a hole in an out-of-the-way part of the garden and fill it with sand. They'll soon see it as their preferred crapateria, so at least you'll know where it is.
My cat was an indoors cat (apart from the large terrace we had) and never crapped anywhere but her litterbox. Cats self clean more than any other animal out there, so it's a myth that they are dirty animals. If a person's house stinks because of their animals, it's hardly the animals fault, it's the owners! The same goes for people who let their cat out to crap in other people's garden's. They are the ones at fault, not the animal. How is a cat supposed to know humans get precious over their tiny little patch of insignificant grass?
Actually nature is at 'fault' here and even then, cats are no more dirty than humans were before the invention of the modern tiolet. If humans were kept indoors perminantly, it would be known as abuse and as far as nature is concerned, keeping cats perminantly indoors is debateably the same thing, unless you live on a busy main road.

Lucky you. I don't think that's the norm though. Earlier this year I went out into my garden to pick some lettuce leaves for my sandwiches and found that something had flattened three plants and taken a dump in the middle. 99% certain it was a cat. I often see them in my garden (at least four visit it) and have had to clean up cat shit more times than I care to remember.

Only a cat lover could think that even remotely appropriate. Why should I have to waste part of my garden (which like all modern gardens is already a bit too small) on a toilet for someone else' pet?
My two boy cats captured a frog and were playing with it in the bathroom, the little girl cat was supervising as she doesn't like getting her dainty paws dirty.
Guess who had to rescue kermit and put him back in the pond?.
We have two and if we get the laser measurer out one of them goes mental chasing it around the house, the other one just sits there and swipes at him as he runs past. He's too occupied chasing the red dot to realise he's being battered!

:mad:
It may not be an 'appropriate' action to have to take, but I agree that it's probably the most pragmatic one if you want to solve the problem.
That's unless you're planning to leave out bowls of cat food laced with strychnine or sit up half the night with an air rifle and night vision goggles.

I'd implore you to read some texts on cats and come back again and tell me that keeping a cat indoors is wrong. It's a complete myth that they have to be let outside.
Please people. this is a cat loving thread. I'm so ON to u cat haters. I'm simply saying that my cats drinking water from the toilet as opposed to their bowl confuses me.. Can we stop the cat hate please! they are beautiful creatures who actually keep rats and mice (who carry diseases) away from you. Don't ever disparage the cat. They are majestic animals that were brought to this island for a purpose. They never CHOSE to come here. So let's treat them with respect, please.

I hate cat poop in my garden as opposed to cats themselves. Sort that issue out and there'll be so many cat lovers you won't know where to look...

You have to accept that some people don't like them.
cats bury their poo. I'm sorry, but get over it! Domesticated cats as opposed to feral cats, are harmless. They keep people company, they are super precious to their owners. Some people don't have human companions for whatever reason, but they have their cats, cats they probably adopted from a CAGE in a shelter. These cats aren't just poopers in your garden, they mean a hell of a lot to their owners.....can we please show some compassion and less selfishness. No one will ever remember what your garden looked like when you die.....but they will remember that you looked after that cat that meant a heck of a lot to a person when they were alive....cats are living things, who love affection and companionship and are a huge, pure vehicle of love....i honestly couldn't give a damn about some poos and holes in your lawn. Lawns don't give you love. Cats do. Peace out.
Has anyone bequeathed anything to their lawn? No. But to living, breathing, sentient things? Yes. Your garden is a symbol of your vanity. Most likely tiny as hell for you to even notice that a cat has pooped in it. Grow up.

Wow. So much anger and resentment. And people wonder why some cat owners have a bad name?
Because they insist on sitting exactly where i don't want them to!!!! Omg. And why do they drink from my cups, from the toilet!!!!! From everywhere but the bowl marked 'cat, this water bowl is just for you and i refresh it everygoddamn day for you'.
I want to know if it is a black cat , nasty things :mad:
Never mind cat haters. Whilst they may occasionally do a tiny crap in your garden, at least they don't go bananas and kill children, like some dogs do.

True. Could be worse though. At least dogs and cats don't abuse you, shoot you, run you over, destroy your habitat, kill you for fun ...
The sooner people come to the rather obvious conclusion that the entire planet is one big toilet, filled with turds from all species known to man (and some that aren't yet known), the sooner we can get on with the important things. Tennis anyone? Oh no wait, a bird just shit on the immaculately manicured lawn.

"Crapateria" is now my official word of the day
Of course it isn't abuse.

Have quickly found that he doesn't like his water bowl near his food dish after he dragged it to the middle of the room.
Cats dislike our tap water due to what we add to the supply. Try collecting rainwater and in the mean-time don't refresh the water but just add to it.
True. Could be worse though. At least dogs and cats don't abuse you, shoot you, run you over, destroy your habitat, kill you for fun ...
Good idea.
Raining now, so will try it.
I have three fresh turds that would beg to differ with you :mad:
Yes, I am told on every cat thread that cats bury it. One of these days I'm going to take photos of the damned stuff on the lawn.
