Shooting a cat with an air rifle or poisoning it is animal cruelty of the worst nature. 

£5000 fine in the UK and a well deserved court appearance. You would also be prosecuted under the UK Firearms Act, which air rifles (outside of Scotland) fall under. 

A cat sh*ts in your garden. Get over it, frankly. That doesn't give you the right to kill or maim it. Have a word with the neighbours, take a photo, submit it to the Council, tell your neighbours that their cat sh*t is their property and you'll be returning it to them. 

Even thinking of shooting a cat for that is absolutely disgusting. Get a grip.

If you know who the cat belongs to you should attend the guy/gal to this and ask them to teach their cat to use a litterbox, since it is ultimately their responsibility, but if there's too many it will be hard to avoid.

Try googling for cat repellents - there are sonic devices and various other options. I believe lion poo also works (which you might be able to get from a local zoo).
 
Or get a dog.

As far as I'm concerned if they come onto my property...they are fair game. No one else seems to want to do anything about it....so it is what it is.

I'll try citrus peels......but if that don't work they are toast.

Citrus peels works !!!  Wink

The thought of killing a cat simply because it is sh*tting on your grass is ridiculous and makes me sick.

What a sad, unpleasant old man. *sigh*

The real Micky, however unpleasant he could be at times was at least somewhat funny.

Don't bother us anymore with this cruel sh*t, man.

The notion of killing a domesticated animal is abhorrent.   I'm sorry it's become such a problem for you as I know what it's like to own property and have my life profoundly affected by a bad neighbor ~ nothing worse than that ~ but this talk of poisoning quiet animals that control rodents and give love & companionship to those who don't or can't own a dog is appalling.   And I suspect rather illegal.  

If there were as many cat-lovers on this site as there used to be, you'd be the one who's toast.

Allowed or not, cats are outdoor animals and your neighbour is doing the right thing by letting them come and go as they please.

If you have such a problem with cats, maybe you should move to an area without any.

I live in an older subdivision and the man across the street lets his 7 or 8 cats just roam and live outside...they sh*t on our yards and flower beds. They sneek in when you are asleep or not home... have tried animal repellent granules...moth balls...sprays,,...I'm getting ready to take drastic measures .
Any fool proof ideas..? The animal control people aren't allowed to round up cats...just dogs in my area.

Yes use citris fruit,  old peels etc.  They hate it!!...  Trust me it works!!!.....    Lemons, Limes or Oranges,  etc ...

Good for the garden too!....Wink

Don't poison cats.   A pellet gun sounds far more humane, or maybe a sprinkler that's connected to a movement sensor, if such a thing exists.

I've owned Labrador retrievers and Belgian sheepdogs. Never had an issue with any cats surviving in my backyard. In fact, there's been a couple times the dogs killed them. Keep your damn cats indoors.
