Neighbor PLACED cat/dog poo on my doormat...what would you do?

[happygirl]

If you have proof. Then I would go to managment.

I'm not sure you have any proof.

 

[wvjules]

Much a-poo about nothing.

*haha I slay me* <--said in my best Stephanie Tanner voice.

I have 6 cats so I have a lot of poo expeirence.

OH TAG FAIRY

OMG you people are soooooooo rude... The OP was just looking for some advise not to be shredded!!! I can guarantee that if this had happened to you, you would have assumed the exact same thing and been just as ticked off.

I think I would wait and see if it happens again. If it does then I would contact whoever manages the apartments. It would be awfully hard to prove that your neighbors put the poo on your mat. A kid goofing around could be the one who moved the poo. I would have been really mad too so feel free to vent away. Poo stinks!

Except that she asked for advice on what to do about the neighbor that left poo on her doormat when there is no indication that that is what really happened.

If I found poo on my doormat, I don't think I would have automatically assumed that some other human put it there.

Seriously????? Wowwww.... I guess the OP and myself are the only ones who would have "assumed" the neightbor was being a complete a** and put it on my doormat.

The OP herself said that she thinks a stray cat pooed on the neighbor's doormat. Why wouldn't it be reasonable to think that the same cat also pooed on her doormat?

Your neighbor jumped to a bad conclusion. You are also jumping to conclusions.

I have a pet. I can see how someone with no pets might assume that since I have pets that is the source of the poop. Although it would make me mad, it seems like a somewhat logical assumption to me. You are angry about the poop on your porch - imagine how angry a non-petlover would be! They probably didn't even stop to think, they just jumped to a bad conclusion and reacted.

Personally, I'd knock on their door and tell them someone put dog poop on your porch and ask if they've had any problems with that. It'd be kind of fun to see their reaction.

Coming from someone who has had her own problems with neighbors -- yes, I could see someone doing that with errant poo. I can't imagine why they would touch it just to prove a point, but after seeing what my neighbor did to me to prove a point, I obviously have a limited imagination.

I don't think you can prove that your neighbor did it, unless you saw them with poo in hand (such as it was). If it happens again, or if your neighbor verbally confronts you, inform the building.

I own a co-op and my neighbor tried to have me evicted. If he succeeded, I would have lost my equity or paid even more money in legal fees (yes, I had to get a lawyer) to retain my rights. Eventually, we got a new building manager who put a stop to it. Now my neighbor and I are just silently hostile.

Well, it certainly looks like you are. And since the OP has already realized she could be mistaken, why don't you relax as well?

Poo threads are always the best threads.

Seriously, if there was cat poo on my door step, I would just clean it up and go on with my day.

 

[cm8]

OP, I hope that you have resolved this issue!!

And yet it is shocking that the neighbor ASSUMED that the OP put the poop on their mat???

[OK!]

Was is swirled exactly the same? Same color? Same smell? How do you really know it was the same? Personally, I'ev never examined cat poop closely enough to notice any of its attributes. Kudos to you for being so detail oriented.

I normally only see readily-distinguishable poo ca. Christmas, when my cat opts to festoon his litter box with Tinsel Poo. Otherwise, I wouldn't know one of his poos from any other.

And I'm also not in the camp that would assume a person's behind the poo on the doorstep. Perhaps it's time to ramp up Poo Watch 2010!

NO!!! No Poo Watch 2010!! I still haven't recovered from that darn neighbor with the paper bag in the window watch whatever-it-was called!

I missed that one. I think the most recent watch I was involved in was Dead Neighbor Watch, but I don't remember the year. It was truly fantastic, though; sadly, it did not feature video of the goings-on, as did Poo Watch 2006.

Sometimes just getting it out helps. .

This cracked me up. I first thought you meant getting poo out helps. My next thought was, well, yeah, being constipated stinks!!
