How to deter kitty from poo-ing in neighbor's yard

[lyrajean]

Well, I was feeling good about Aya not whizzing in our house for going on six mos. now. but our neighbor alerted us to a new problem. Aya is going into the next door neighbor's yard and leaving behind presents in the area where their children play.

Any easy ways to deter her? We have 3 acres and a fence is expensive and not feasible. The neighbors have already tried "fox urine" to discourage her. We are loathe to turn her into an inside cat as being outdoors has helped her stress levels immensely.

First, congrats on having what is evidently a good relationship with your neighbors (or at least one where everyone talks like adults).  

Is a catio more feasible than a whole fence would be?

This would be my suggestion also, as there is no way to stop a cat who is outdoors from going potty where it wants to. There are a great many ideas on simple enclosures that would allow your cat to be outdoors, yet be safe and keep it from wondering.  Here are some pictures of many many types. https://www.google.com/search?q=cat...rEanl0gHBm4HQDg&ved=0CEgQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=606
