So if you'll recall, we recently re-did our front yard to look oh so lovely, like this:
And we have one of these:
Which a certain feral animal:
Thinks is this:
And it's making me:
And also:
I've spoken with the "cat lady" across the street from us that feeds feral cats. Apparently their poop isn't her problem and she claims they would still be here even if she didn't feed them.
So I've had to take matters into my own hands.
I've researched several sites trying to figure out how to keep those dang cats out of my plantar box.
I wanted to do it in a humane way.
I put bamboo skewers, pointy side up, all throughout the plantar box.
They pooped in there anyway.
I sprinkled black pepper all throughout.
They pooped in there anyway.
I sprinkled red pepper all throughout (I read this may cause them to scratch their own eyes out. Being humane was becoming less of a priority for me).
They pooped in there anyway.
After checking the plantar box this morning and finding MORE poop I told Shane, "It's on. I'm going to war with the cats."
Shane just smiled his knowing smile because he knows I like a challenge...wait, or maybe it was because he thinks I'm crazy. One of the two.
Nevertheless, the war is on.
Watch out cats...you're going down.
(in the most humane way possible.)
