Sweet Pea
So. What I need to know is (as I head to Petsmart), what do I get to keep Sweet Pea outta neighbor lady's yard?
Kitty Ping.
Mom. Why is my ass burning?
Haha. You can't control cats just offer a better option. Maybe kill the neighbor and hope the new ones are more cat friendly? The cat likes to do its business there. You aren't gonna change that.
Kitteh needs to take an arrow to the knee!
Yeah I know some cats can't handle that. We have three that have never been outside and they're used to it.
You could buy her a scarecrow... motion detection water spray would scare off any cat. Google it.
Why don’t they get a dog? I’m not sure dog urine odor works with cats they might need the real thing.

Take a washbasin and wash the cat in your neighbors yard (with neighbor’s permission) and wash the cat several times in a row over there, soon the cat will associate her yard with getting washed and it will stay far far away from it.
Does Sweet Pea (darling creature, btw) not have a litter box at your house?
You never know what bad neighbors might do.....
I don't have an answer but I think you are at the right place to find an answer. It is your responsibility to find an answer suitable to your neighbor, yourself, and Sweet Pea.
Offer to pay her a usage fee.
Anything you do for that neighbor you’ll need to do for all of them. Keep kitty inside. They simply are not wild animals to be left wandering around.
Spray some coyote or cougar urine at the yard border. You can buy these urine sprays online, just google it.
Keep the cat indoors, it is better for the cat and neighbors.
PING this one over to you. :)=^..^=
I have had that problem with cats in the tomato garden, not mine, she is a total house cat.
To keep cats out of a flower bed or small area, just put some orange peels or grapefruit peels in the area. Put fresh ones out when the old ones dry out.
This works. Most of the stuff you buy to keep cats off furniture or off other things is made from citrus oil.
My standard reply.
All kittehs should be indoor kittehs unless they’re on mouser duty in a barn away from a road or other predators. Letting a cat out in a regular neighborhood is a bad idea.
1) They get hit by cars.
2) They can have more than one home.
3) They do do their biz but they usually cover it up but how much can a kitteh leave? I can’t believe it’s a Saint Bernard load.
4) They live longer, average outside lifetime is around four years I believe VS fifteen or more indoors.
5) Someone thinks it’s an abandoned cat and keeps it for themselves.
You are of course free to do what you want but if your neighbor is complaining about cat sized loads, they might ‘accidentally’ leave some anti-freeze or other poison around; her “or else” comment.
Is she a good neighbor otherwise? You know how some people need to have drama.
BTW, that’s a good looking kitteh.
There are additions you can add to your fence that stops them from being able to go over them but if you let em out the front door it’s kind of pointless.
Get her a paint ball gun to “touch” kitty. That’ll do it. And minimal if any harm at all to keteh. Perhaps even an airhorn so that keteh associates her yard as a threat.
If you love your cat, keep her in the house. If you don't, sooner or later she will be hit by a car, poisoned or meet some other dismal fate.
