Is there any reason not to put cat manure in a compost bin?

You're about to hear all the same reasons I was told not to put dog
poo in the compost bin . See the "What to do" thread that started
with my post on 1/31 /12 . Seems it all boils down to "there might be
dangerous pathogens in it since it is predator poo" . IMO , a
properly working compost bin will achieve temps that should kill
those "dangerous pathogens" . And that sounds better than allowing
the rain to wash it all back into the soil ...


Not everybody bothers with hot composting.
