Neighborhood cats shit right in the middle of my lawn. It stinks and the robot lawn mover makes it even worse.

I do NOT like cats, and this is not helping.

What works to keep them from shitting on my lawn?


The votes have spoken. Some people are cat lovers; thanks for the great advice from the rest of you! I will not go out of my way to accommodate other people’s pets that aren’t welcome on my property. My first weapon of choice will be chili because it’s simple and cheap. Other ideas have been noted.

It’s like an outdoor Roomba. Very common in Europe, nothing special at all.

“nothing special at all” he says…

I grew up using a push mower.

So did I. Now I am old, and will enjoy the modern world.

I mean, good for you and your good luck in finances. This isn’t something we can all afford, though. A lot of my neighbors used rusty reel mowers growing up. Even the gas variants were out of reach.

Special if it works, the damn wire needs to be redone completely each spring because it somehow breaks somewhere.

I feel like this can’t possibly be true… The cheapest one I can find is $650. Like, these are not affordable for most folks.

But that’s the price of a regular half decent roomba. Consider that they have a house with a lawn, 650 seems cheap. Houses with lawns are expensive.

I’m from the UK and I’ve never seen an automatic lawnmower unless it was on tv
