Cat poop or wild animal droppings? Warning; pile picture!

It is my garden, it is my rules! Steven

Ha, keep dreaming. In this state, nothing belongs to you until you have eaten it up. You certainly are not allowed to set rules. Where would we be then?

to hoist a flag and secure "your country" against unlawful intrusion of any life forms.

Hello Fuchur

my peaceful property is clearly marked.

Steven

Our cat is part of our family, if you do something to it, from our point of view you are doing something to a family member.....

Mhm, and just because your family has a disturbed, anthropomorphizing relationship with cats that should matter to the rest of the world. Here on Melmac cats belong in the cooking pot. Regards, Alf

It’s my garden, my rules!

Be assured that there are clearly more things you are not allowed to do in your garden than things you are allowed to do. That you would be allowed to make the rules there, for example, is wrong.

What you do and what you are allowed to do are, of course, quite different things. For example, you are not allowed to kill cats with a spade just because they poop on your lawn. Of course, you can still do it if you are fast enough...

If you know the owner, you can certainly hold them responsible. But the owner is unknown here. So?

Why you complain about buying a scented water but would still buy a live trap, you have not explained yet. Hardly something one can explain anyway. You are not supposed to buy a liter of Chanel No5.
Cost/benefit with your method is simply totally screwed.

( I’m just imagining you trying to sue the owner in court for reimbursement for a live trap for cats ).

Yes, and that is exactly the problem with Google "knowledge." Google has nothing to do with established case law. On the contrary: in most federal states, a hunting license is required for the use of live traps, and there are also a few operating obligations. Your legal tips went badly wrong again..

Setting traps for cats has NOTHING to do with hunting. 1. Cats are not game. 2. Hunting in protected areas (which is 100% the case here) is prohibited. 3. If at all, only the hunting rights holder for the territory, i.e., the leaseholder on behalf of the hunting association, would be authorized to hunt.

If you know the owner, you can certainly hold them accountable. But the owner is unknown here. So? Why you complain about buying a scented water but would still buy a live trap, you haven’t explained yet. ).

Hello chand and that is exactly the crux of the matter: I don’t know the cat owner. That’s why the live trap. If I have the cat, the owner will look for it and identify it. A win-win situation. If they don’t look for it, it will be given to an animal shelter. Around here there are plenty of garden owners with live traps. These things cost 50 euros and last a lifetime. Why should I and not the cat owner buy and set out the scented water? Please explain that to me! So far, here the cat owners are always quick to shout “my right.” No one has said yet: “That is MY duty.” Why not? You keep cats. But you want nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the damage they cause. Now it’s your turn again. Steven
