You can buy a certain spray from either a pet shop or a garden centre. Don't know what they call it but it is not harmful to plants but keeps cats away.
You could buy some of this and give it to your neighbours to use.

There is cat repellent you can purchase to spread over area. Just check nearest specialty pet store. Also make sure their litter is cleaned and accessible each and everyday. If they are outdoor cats, put a litter inside and outside so they don't get lazy and poo in the neighbour's yard out of convenience.
And yes you are obliged to clean it up. They are your cats and your responsibility.

I have 3 cats and I'm not saying they've never pooed in someone else's garden but I do keep a litter tray which they use most of the time. That would help.

I would have a word with your vet about finding something to encourage your cats not to poo next door. Of course the best course of action is to have litter trays and indoor cats- they are much healthier, live a lot longer, are not so prone to cat-killing diseases, and death by doc, car or pervert. Good luck.

as a friendly neighbourly gesture,it would be a good idea to offer to clean it up. Also try putting scent pellets down to discourage the cats from pooing in the neighbours garden,also try making an area in your own garden and try to encourage your cats to poo there.

There is not much you can do. They can put down orange peel or lion poo (for sale) or squirt them with water if they catch them in the act. Cats poo - it's a fact of life. If we didn't have cats, the rodent populaion would be greater so maybe you should point that out to your neighbours.

What you ARE obliged to do as a cat owner is to keep it inside!!!Your cat should NOT be wandering about outside. Keep it inside, where it is safer, will live longer, and won't have the opportunity to bother the neighbors.

A friend of mine said that having curry plants growing in the garden kept cats away . Another one I have heard is to sprinkle some pepper in the area where they wish to deposit their little present to you !!

our neighbours at home used to throw shoes at our cats whenever they entered their gardens. it worked. so, allow your neighbours to do that, and before the cats have learned their lesson offer to clean up the poo.

buy your neighbours water guns and tell them to squirt them with water when they catch them in there garden.
this way your cats will assoichate there gardens with something bad and will avoid them.
also you can litter train them by putting there poop in a litter tray this way they wont need to use others gardens.
also appoligising to your neighbours is a good start and offer to clean the poop up.
