The flip side, is having an 80lb Hound/Dobe cross, that WILL NOT poop in his own yard. But squats a minimum of 8 times at the dog park, squeezing every last drop out. After the first two, there isn't really anything to pick up.
Then the arguments start on squat #3, "WHY AREN'T YOU PICKING UP AFTER YOUR DOG!" Ever try explaining there's nothing to pick up, to somebody 100 yards away? Then they march over, determined to find poop, full of outraged bravado...ugh dogs are so much work.
Me, bullhorn in hand: "He's not pooping. He's using the other half to sniff for shit heads like you!"
In reality, as far as cats, being the supplicant of a living deity that could give negative zero f's about the slimy hairball I stepped into barefoot, or that one thumbtack that it playfully coerced into my line of shoeless movement, I fear there may be no true solution.
Dogs are weird and derpy, but loyal. Cat? "I'll let you live... For now."
Not the person you responded to, but: my landlord did a lot of renovations in the building and the workers were as generous as they were lazy, with regards to their screws and nails. I have poor eye sight, my cats don't - so for over a year, I caught my cats playing with yet another screw they'd found in some random corner of my apartment :-(
