Wrap the poo in something tasty. Then the beat becomes a self cleanin/contained recycling center. Hopefully it drops its next load somewhere else.

paintball gun also works

I second this idea. With a paintball gun you can lay down some heavy fire power. That is if you own a semi auto or full auto gun. With a BB gun you have to reload if you miss and you might kill the cat. With a paintball gun you'll only give the cat a good bruising.

I got an idea. Let's all kick you first in the nuts. If you like it, then you may kick the cat.

hey Kiyup, wasn't your old logo a cat?

Anyway, I can tolerate cats, we have 3.

I have a dobermann Pinscher you can borrow....One mean S.O.B . I would guarantee that kitty would not come back ;) I do suggest that you tie him up with a stout chain and also make sure the stake is reinforced with concrete ;)

Heh, well some cats could teach dogs a thing about fighting. One of our neighbor's collies got out when the owners shut down the invisible fence. It came over when one of our cats, Scotty, was outside. The collie chased Scotty, scared the hell out of him too; well, the collie wound up running home with a damaged ear; Scotty was fine. Never saw the dog in our yard again.
Sounds like your doberman wouldn't be a good playmate for a cat though.:Q

If you ever do see the cat, try to find out who's it is, and tell them to keep their cat inside. It'll benefit them as well - if it doesn't go outside, it's less likely to bring in all kinds of fun parasites like ticks and fleas, which carry their own assortment of diseases. Plus, if the cat is like my other cat, Beverly, it loves to sneak outside, eat lots of grass, then come in and throw it up for us. Maybe she has a delusion of being a mother bird, bringing food in for the young ones.

st@b it. or you could put a fence around your garden with barbed wire. or you could catch it in a squirrel trap with cat food, and take it for a ride on the highway in the back of your pickup and let the cage shake around alot (turn sharply and honk horn often) - come back to your yard, and let it back into your garden. It will be the last time it sh*ts itself, and not of its own volition.

Ask the neighbor nicely to keep his/her cat on his/her property. No need to hurt the cat in any way ... :disgust:

A lady at work notified her neighbor that if the cat came in her yard she would take it to Animal Control. She went to Home Depot and got a cage made for catching animals and put some food in the cage near where the cat was pooping. She ended up catching about four cats in total.

paintball gun is the trick...and again, its really fun! Or kicking is good too. Practicing the discus with a cat also comes to mind. Or once, a cat got in my car and pissed all over...I figure damage was done and left the cat in there and set off the car alarm...cat freaked for about a minute straight before I let it out to scurry away.

I used to have about 10 cats that would come and harass birds in my backyard and leave little assorted presents for me to find. No cat touches paw in my yard any more...

And..don't even think about kicking me in the nuts...you'll break your foot on my BALLS OF STEEL!! :p:D

Plus..I'd shoot you in the nuts with my paintball guns before you got within 20 feet of me.

And for all you cat lovers...yes, I know they can be 'cute' but haven't you read Dilbert...cat's are users... they don't care about you..you are simply a tool to them, a means to an end.

<-- his mom had seven cats

I'm thinking heavy-duty pepper spray around the perimeter.

Even better, set up a motion detector to arm a 360-degree pepper sprayer.
