U.WANT.ME	I would get a lid. You can go to home depot or Lowe's and get a piece of plywood cut to fit, then just lay it over the top when the kids aren't using it. You have a right to be upset, but if the cat is an outside pet, there's not much you neighbor can do to stop it. Cats don't really go on leashes and it is their natural instinct to go somewhere they can bury it. Also, I would replace the sand because the cat probably pissed in it too. It can give your daughter impentago (a type of skin infection). I know this cuz I got it when I was little from a cat peeing in my sandbox. If you try getting rid of that cat, chances are another one will find the sandbox and do the same thing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mart	Depending on the neighbor, a super soaker (squirt gun) may help. Cats generally hate water, so if you can catch the cat in the act, you may be able to deter future incidences! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tHsEe420	I would be upset also. Did you try confronting the neighbor themselves, because the cat doesn't know whats going on. They need to keep their cats more contained. If they ignore you just put the **** on their door step ;-) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sabbycat76	I heard moths balls in the sand will keep cats out. Than you have problem of child playing w/moth balls. Talk to owner of cat if that does not work. You can always legal (if want to go that far) go to court over matter. Cat is on your property. Call animal control. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JLT	I use to have that problem when my kids were small. Start over with new sand if you need to. Make a lid for the sandbox. Either a piece of wood that you can fit to the sandbox, or buy a sandbox that comes with it's own lid. The only time the cat will have access to it is when the kids are playing in it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sarah J	Talk to your neighbor and let them know what is going on asap they should be willing to work with you on this if the are a responsible pet owner. If this behavior doesn't stop try getting a board or tarp to cover the sandbox when not in use, and keep the kitty out! Added bonus this will also keep the sandbox dry when it rains. I hope this helps you. Good Luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kja63	It's not the cats fault you have a huge litter box in your yard. And the neighbor probably won't do anything about it either. So get a cover for your sandbox and keep it covered when it's not in use. Problem solved. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dukalink6000	YOu may have to lid the thing. Try leaving orange rinds about the box. for some reason, cats hate the smell of orange Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rachel_waves	Is there a leash law for cats in your town? Then call the town and report it. Tell the neighbor about the poo in the box and that you insist they keep their cat on a leash or the poo will come over the fence. Ooo, a much more civilized answer than mine; and I like it. Get a cover for the sand pit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
