[Dailydrool] Cats & rock landscaping

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, clueless momPerson here,

Well, Snoopy is an occasional offender ... he won't eat his own but sometimes 
snacks on Cyrus'  I try to get there first with the scooper and also Cyrus does 
NOT like it and will poop on walks or the dog park or anywhere he's sure I can 
clean up ahead of Snoopy.  The issue is neighborhood cats.  We have to be SO 
careful on walks.  I would like to let the boys sniff to their hearts content 
but they they find these "treasures" and they both gobble them up.

The worst of the worst is that several of my neighbors have put in red lava rock 
to reduce weeding/maintenance.  These rocks are generally 2-3 inches in diameter 
and irregularly shaped.  The problem of course is that cats LOVE to use these 
rock covered beds for a toilet.  I don't know what my neighbors were thinking, 
they are literally FULL of cat poop.  And if you walk by the dog will lung and 
grab a turd AND all the rocks sticking to it and if you're not fast enough they 
swallow the whole scary mess before you can blink.  It happened to me a couple 
of times and I watched and worried for days hoping the dog didn't plug up or 
stop eating and waiting to see the rocks come back out.  So far, so good and 
every time it happens I add another house I cross the street to avoid on walks.

Sheesh.
