How would you feel if your neighbor’s cats kept wandering over to your yard?

Maybe it wouldn’t bother you if you like cats, but in today’s story, the cats are causing problems.

This woman is wondering if she went too far with her plan to keep the neighbor’s cats out of her yard.

Let’s read all the details to decide.

AITAH for installing a Motion -Activated Sprinkler to deter my neighbour’s cats from my garden?

I (36F) have a small vegetable garden that I’ve nurtured for years.

Recently, my neighbor’s (45F) three cats have taken a liking to my garden, often digging up plants and using it as their litter box.

Her neighbor doesn’t seem to care.

I spoke to my neighbor about the issue, but she dismissed my concerns saying, “Cats will be cats.”

I know that cat’s poop can contaminate the soil.

More so I don’t want my vegetables/ vegetable garden to be contaminated.

Her neighbor doesn’t like what she did!

Out of frustration I installed a motion-activated sprinkler system to deter the cats.

The next day, my neighbor confronted me, upset that her cats came home soaked.

I explained the reason, but she argued that I was being cruel and that it’s natural for cats to roam.

Am asking, AITAH ?

I think that was a smart decision! Hopefully it works, but if the cats are coming home “soaked” it may not be working.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

A cat owner weighs in.

This person’s cats like getting wet!

Now all I can picture is rainbow kitties!

This person thinks the neighbor is “cruel.”

This person would love to copy this idea.

The cats may not mind getting wet.

But if they do, perhaps they will learn a lesson.
