I have a family of cats that I care for who live on my back porch. The mommy (Callie) was abandoned and later became pregnant. She acts almost ferile so we could not adopt her out so once her kittens were born and about 13 weeks we spayed her. (her kittens have since been neutered)
Now in the beginning of February Callie became ill. A nice lady from a rescue organization took her in her barn and cared for her while she recovered. This was about 2-3 months. I wish she had kept her but Callie was so depressed and spent the whole time hiding. She bit the lady pretty bad...enough to hospitalize her.
My point of this story is that the kittens (born in Septemer) were living on my porch and we never had a problem with poop in our yard...they did it in the back alley way. Now that Callie's back she's pooping all over the grass in the yard. (i've watched her do this) I have a 13 month old son. I don't know how to fix this without a) harming the cats or my son with chemicals, b) chasing them away from living at my place...they have nowhere else to go and the neighbors are terrible! I want them to still live in my yard but not poop on my lawn like they used to.
