is cat doody bad for plants?

we have some neighborhood cats that love my rose beds.Now I know about using manure from cows but not cats. I now I see cats coming and going from my well maintained bathroom and I can smell it when I look after my roses. I have never heard if this is ok for them or not but I will say these particular roses are quite large. so does any one know for certen if this helps or hinders plant growth.

    It's fine for the plants, but I'd be concerned about YOU. Cat feces are full of loads of parasites that are transferable to humans. I would be concerned about my personal health, not the growth of the roses.

    It's pretty strong stuff and not usually recommended. For example, it will kill the grass it sits on. But if it's diluted enough, it actually does fertilize. It also has some really nasty bacteria in it, so you don't want it anywhere near your vegetables.

    But it's probably actually helping your roses since it's not too much.

    It would be good for the plant. My grandma has chickens and chicken poo is excellent fertilizer for plants.
