Since my dog died, the neighborhood cats have been become a problem. Looking for advice how to keep them off my vehicles, my house, and out of my yard. Animal control is no help, 3-4 months min for them to come out to try and trap them. Please no advice that is violent, or will get me arrested or land me in court.
The problems:
They are jumping on my vehicles and scratching the crap out of them.
They are using my yard as a toilet. If you know what cat spray/urine smells like you will understand the problem.
I have a 6ft privacy fence, but they jump over with ease. My house has brick from the ground up 3ft which gives them a ledge to walk/sit on, and makes it easier to jump the fence. I do plan on getting a new dog but just have not found one yet, but in the time being what can I do to keep them out of my yard?
Spring-style mouse traps set on your vehicle might work. You may have to lay a protective cover down first because when they get set off the cat is going to be quite alarmed.
They make an outdoor formula that will keep cats far the hell away.
Of course this only works if you are dealing with a normal sized yard. Larger areas are to not practical.
Try a repellent or learn to be more compassionate towards innocent creatures. Killing something because it makes your yard smell some or puts prints on your cars is quite selfish and evil.
Again… They sound like feral cats to me and they need to be extinguished as a carrier of disease and vermine. The OP also stated that they’re scratching the crap out of his car. I don’t know what kind of car you drive but I’ll be damned if I wouldn’t shoot the little fuckers. Maybe just use a BB gun
I never get tired of watching “The Ka” in action:p
The owners of the cats are the selfish/evil ones. If the cat’s have a collar then I would avoid kill’n them and try other avenues. No collars then they are legally feral and they would get nailed.
If collars then either get an airsoft gun and have some fun or set them up for a Pepper Spray treatment or go to Home Depot and get the gear and run a hot wire along the fence top.
I had some buddies in Zim that were hired for 6 months to kill cats on an island in the South Pacific that had endangered birds on it and a feral cat problem. The stories were fantastic:p
Honestly I am tired of your shit, YOU NEVER READ POSTS(or are to fucking stupid to understand what you read), and reply with bullshit posts condemning people for stuff that they already posted for/or against. Seriously go fuck yourself.
We’ve used a vermin walk-in trap cage for great effect. It’s a kind of cage that closes once the vermin is inside. Put some catnip or delicious leftovers in there for the oversized rodent, and it’ll be in there. Once it’s in its time for some ‘population displacement’.
I don’t have any links, can’t imagine a link for a site in Europe would be much use to you, but should be possible to find something like that.
Animal control programs have capture-sterilize-release programs. They are big fans of them, especially if they’re “no-kill” programs. Pass on them.
If your ACOs are 3-4 months out, buy yourself some cat traps ($35-75), or call your local vets to see about renting some. Trap them, euthanize them humanely, and discard the remains.
Feral cats produce feral cats produce…you get the idea.
Recommend you keep your course of action discreet, else you generate unwated interest.
Lol. It’s just not a nice thing to do. Like killing the neighborhood kids for leaving bike treads on your lawn or ringing your doorbell at 3am. Not to sound like a 60s era hippy, but you just have to let some things slide. Put food out for the cats and get them fixed if you want to do something. They’re good at clearing pests in gardens.
a sandy spot in a garden will also keep them urinating and pooing in one spot and help ypur plants
