I have the same problem with my neighborhood cats, I have tried the cayanne pepper thing and also coffee grounds both with no result.
I have often thought about mixing up a few cans of tuna with some antifreeze and crushed light bulb glass, if the antifreeze dont kill them the glass will rip apart their intestine track on the way out,
My wife did not like that idea when I mentioned it to her, looked at me real strange?
Wow! I hope your joking.
Joking or not, I don't think pet lovers (and yes I have a dog) realize the irritation to people when their animals defecate and piss all over other peoples stuff. We have a horrendous problem w/ dogs in our area. People leave for work and let their dogs roam town all day. One day I had 3 sets of dogs playing humpy monkey right in my yard. Just today I threw a block of wood at a dog that pissed on my kids sandbox toys. Dog had no collar and I watched the owner let his dog out and then leave for work. Have I called the police? Sure have, but the response I get every time is that they are too busy. I've watched patrol cars drive through town and slow down for stray dogs and do nothing about it. It's against state law for a dog to be unattended off his/her leash in public. But the law isn't enforced.
A guy up the road just got 9 months in jail b/c his dog was on it's chain and a neighbor dog who was loose (to whom the guy had talked to/yelled at often about his loose dog, and the police were called on 3 occasions) played humpy monkey w/ and you know it, the dog had puppies. He went over and castrated the dog and left all the puppies on the neighbors steps for him to deal with. He went to jail for animal cruelty. I don't advocate at all what he did, but he looked at the judge and asked him who was going to protect the people and enforce the law about stray dogs if the police wouldn't do it, and if it was going to take a kid getting bit or killed for them to wake up. Again, I don't think cruel schemes to inflict gross pain is necessary, but enough is enough in the pet world. My response has often been, don't whine to me about breaking the law to get rid of your dog or cat, when you are breaking the law to leave it loose.
