A responsible Mom has a cover over a sandbox when the kid’s not using, under supervision, anyway.
Why?
We have never had a sandbox, so I wouldn’t know. We did live in sand land for a lot of years though. It would’ve been hard to cover the whole backyard.
“A responsible Mom has a cover over a sandbox when the kid’s not using, under supervision, anyway.”

MPD: Rutherford County teacher admits to shooting neighbor’s cat
I do love cats. I would have been traumatized as a child if one of our neighbors would have offed any of the neighbor kitties. My daddy did not like pets, so I played with the neighbors’ animals. The neighborhood cats must’ve had their own special poop zones because I never saw them pooping in anyone’s yard. The dogs were a different story. They kind of went wherever they wanted. No leash laws. Great neighborhood with a lot of wonderful people. And a lot of wonderful animals.
In a residential area, a responsible cat owner keeps his or her cat indoors, so it isn't killing songbirds in my yard or defecating in my yard.
I don't leave my dogs' droppings in a cat owner's yard.
Now excuse me while I go clean my litterbox.
No way do you get to say that she was not a responsible Mom. She was trying to keep the cat crap out of her children's sand box. It was the irresponsible cat owners who are to blame here. Cat owners, just like dog owners, should keep their pets at home. Period.
So I’m expected to cover my sandbox which is on my property in order to keep the neighbors cat out of it.
bullets are easier, keep your cat under control and mind your own damn business
