Someone with a robot lawnmower whining about cats?
Wow, entitled much?
There is no way you genuinely believe OP is entitled for wanting to avoid piles of shit.
OP has a robot lawnmower. This means they could absolutely afford installing a fence.
Think about that before you defend their whining again.
How does a fence do anything about a cat?
You're either overestimating thr cost of a lawn roomba or vastly underestimating how much it costs to get a fence put in
A robot lawnmower costs between $700 and $3000. A fence starts at around $5000 and can get into the $30,000s easily. It's almost like you have no idea what you are talking about. Additionally, if the person needs a lawnmower then having a robot one isn't a much bigger expense.
Finally, to really highlight how stupid your responses are, you do realize that cats can jump fences, right? A normal house cat can jump 6ft quite easily, and outdoor stray cats jump onto our 8ft tall privacy wall all the time.
lol I hope you don't think I'll respect your tone.
A fence is a lot more expensive than a Roomba, and isn't necessarily permitted where they are.
You must be kind of stupid.
Why he wouldn't? Can I go and shit at your lawn then? He has the right to not wanting a cat to take a shit on his lawn that's disgusting.
He's free to do something to try and prevent it, as long as it doesn't hurt the cat and its a wild cat
Yes of course and the suggestions have been non harmful such as sprinklers.
How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?
I'll take a coyote over a cat. At least the coyote is native.
Yes he has a right to do that. Having a right to do something does not preclude a person from being entitled by doing it.
exactly, and who wants to clean cat shit off a lawn mower blade in the hot sun?
