How My Landlady dealt with Cat Poop

I've already shared in my previous post on cat poop about some ways on how to stop cats from pooping on a ceramic doorstep. The fact that it's ceramic, it's difficult to keep a certain strong scent to shoo the cats away. So the cat kept pooping once in a while. Lucky for us, our landlady patiently cleans the poop for us.

One day, I saw our landlady asking her son to catch the cat and put it in a sack. She wants to lose the cat in a far place so that it can live away from our doorsteps.

That night, we didn't see the cat (it's orange) however, a black and white cat lurks the place. I thought the orange cat asked the other cat to guard the place while it's gone.

Two days later, the orange cat is back. Landlady Plan A didn't work.

Landlady Plan B: I went home one day finding pieces of bread on the corners of our apartment building, stuffed with rat poison. Would rat poison effect on rat predator? Not really sure about that in other circumstances. I just know that 3 days after, there's poop again on our doorstep.

Landlady Plan C: Our landlady met me one day and told me that she just cleaned poop on our doorstep again. She said, she wants to kill the cat.

I must admit that it also crossed my mind -- I had this imagination that I could hurl the cat to the wall if ever it crosses my path while I'm in a really, really pissed off mood. Yet, we could not do that to a living being like a cat, right? Just an imagination anyway, no worries.

How do you deal with stray cat poop?

Cat Emotions, Cat Drama

I found this really adorable video on Facebook.

At first, you could only think of how cute it is. But later, I thought of how amazing it is to really feel the cat's emotions. The tones go up and down like it's really talking. The gestures of the two cats are communicating.

Just amazing.






disclaimer: the video doesn't belong to me.

Getting Cat Poop Out of Our Doorstep

Three days days in a row that we're having stray cat's poop just outside our apartment door. It's ceramic tiles and we're on the third floor. If I have to clean it, I have to bring the poop 3 floors down and by the time I get upstairs again, I'd smell of cat poop. Eww.

There were 2 poop spot outside our door this morning and the stink comes in up to our bedroom.

Good thing our landlady came in yesterday so she took care of yesterday and today's poop. With my best friend Google, I searched for ways on how to keep the cat from pooping on unwanted space.

There are two ways that sounds easy:


>>> dissolve pepper in some water and spray on the ground
>>> make the space smell like lemon or other citrus fruits

Apparently, cats hate the strong smell so lemon is good. Put lemon juice on the ground. I wonder if lemon-scented liquid soap will work? Some people in forums suggest to leave orange peels in the area. The smell of ammonia should work too.

I was just thinking, how can I keep the scent on ceramic tiles?

By the way, there is also a suggestion of a chemical that can stop cats from pooping wherever you don't want it to be. Check out stopcats.com

This is the reason why I don't like having pets. T_T


Any suggestions for this problem?
