My guy is building a sandbox for our little boy to play in. What should we do to keep the neighborhood cats from turning it into a giant litter box?

    Put up a sign that sez "ATTENTION! This is NOT a LITTERBOX!" Got that so far? Okay, now build a second sandbox next to the first one and put up a sign that sez "ATTENTION! This IS a LITTERBOX!" That's clear, right? Right. Go to it!

      landmines. Cats may not learn the first time, but by the 15th or 16th time they get the point.

    post official looking "cat hunting season" signs in the vietnamese section of town.

    include map & directions to your naighborhood.


    this may earn you a racist label but, you'll be free of those presents in the sand.

    Hey, there;s a cat around here who won't use a litter box--prefers a corner behind the door. So come right over in a van and help yourself. I'll even throw in a door with a cat-shaped hole in it.

      make a box filled with cat litter for your son. the cats will use the sand, cause they arent supposed to. that leaves the kitty litter clean and free for your son!

    First you have a BBQ. Chicken with BBQ sauce,mmmm. After dinner, crunch up the chicken bones into shards and slivers. Poultry scissors work great. Place the bone bate in the garbage can on top without the lid.......... You can make cool things out of their tails! Whut,...*bizt*..*bzzzt* or just make a lid for the sandbox,

    hook the sandbox up to your natural gas line, light it, then just keep the box on a low simmer at all times.

        Better a large snake to eat the children. Problem solved. The cats will thank you.

          Or just go the diplomatic route -
          Ring your neighbor's doorbell, smile, explain your plans for the sandbox and your concerns about their cats, then tell them you plan to poison the cats with arsenic at the earliest opportunity. You might even want to bring over some brownies or something to soften the message.
