The cat <em>(Felis catus)<\/em> is a domesticated species of small carnivorous mammals and is commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat Cats are not walked, so the cats that are allowed outside generally do their business outside. In cat-rich neighborhoods, this can cause a nuisance. Cat turds, stench and cat whimpers at night.<br>\nCat poop can contain the parasite <em>toxoplasmosis<\/em>; this parasite can infect humans, sometimes causing flu-like symptoms or worse (eye disorders and nervous system damage). Also, <em>toxoplasmosis<\/em> can affect the unborn child of a pregnant woman.<br>\nIn the garden, measures that reduce cat nuisance are possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Where to find&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1574353685383{padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are commonly found<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102790165{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Control&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532165404849{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Clean up cat turds.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102799994{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Prevention&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532165414573{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure the ground of the garden is covered; cats like to bury their turds.
