Biodeisel made from cats*.

DISCLAIMER: I do not support or endorse cruel acts against animals. I am an animal lover. HOWEVER, I AM FED UP WITH PEOPLES CATS. My neighbors many cats have ruined the paint on 3 of my cars, keep me up at night, kill the wildlife I feed in my backyard, use my garden as a litterbox, and stalk and stress the birds of prey I periodically care for as part of a rehabilitation project. If they all dissapeard my neighborhood would be a better place. They are an unnatural artificially sustained population of free roaming predators - a social and environmental menace. Flame on if you must.

You sound like my cousin. He moved into a house with a population of cats living next door. now he spends a good portion of his free time on his back porch with a supersoaker water gun.

Many years ago my aunt and uncle had a cat problem in their neighborhood. They caught it in a humane trap (a white Persian), hosed it down with detergent to cut the oil in the fur, and then liberally applied red food color. Didn't hurt the cat, but it never came back...

i have two cats,they come runnin when i feed them but it got way out of hand when like five or six other cats came runnin up when i would feed mine.and they would stay out of your reach.so i couldnt grab em.Hiedi started freakin out when i was shooting them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) .so i started a catch & release program. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) so i built a trap that was pretty kool. i release them about 15 miles away in a field.we live in a very rural so we get alot of cats dumped out here and wild ones too.one mourning i walked out the door and ther was a skunk standing there looking at me eating too.ned less to say he never lived to tell about the tale (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Thanks Rich, but I just don't have it in me to kill 'em. It wouldn't be hard, and I'm equiped for it - I just can't bring myself to do it. It's wrong for people to let their pets damage my property but it would be wrong to murder their pets. Just couldn't do it. I gotta find a 'diplomatic' solution (aka mild temporary discomfort, fear, or some other non-lethal deterent). Maybe I should get a coyote. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

There is a motion detector sprinkler that is a great cat/animal deterant. $49. It's one of those that shoots an adjustable stream of water. I think it's called an occilating sprinkler. Just it coming alive with air & spurts of water is enough to freak out any cat.

aha.

i thought they were feral cats.

my neighbor in NV used to catch them, neuter them (had it done, actually...) and let them live out their lives (feeding them on my property which was borderline OK, although i still think he shouldda used his own...). he spent lots of money in the process but i don't think he did as much to reduce the population as the coyotes did.

Thanks for the ideas. The problem with that is it would also scare away the quail, partridge, songbirds, squirrels, and pheasant. I want to welcome those species and only repel cats. Other forms of wildlife are welcome, but my yard is only big enough for one predator. Me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Nope. (technically it isn't feral if human-fed) About half are stray and half I'd call semi-domestic. Sleep outside & porch-fed. Maybe half of them are indoor/outdoor cats. Next door neighbor has at least 6. Probably another 1/2 dozen regulary seen 'neighborhood cats' in and out of the backyard. Spay/neuter is $40-$80 according to my neighbor, so people just don't seem to do it.

I only paid like $30 to have my cat spayed. There is an organization here that will spay/neuter feral cats for free, if you trap them.

My property is patrolled by Pit Bull Inc. (see avatar). Funny how cats tend to give my yard a wide berth. She's never caught one (fortunately), but she did run one up a tree on two occasions. I think it was the same cat both times.

I wish there was such an organization in West Palm Beach, Florida. The feral cats are totally out of control there (warm weather, no predators) and my mother is paying to spay some of them out of her own pocket.

Ahhhh, I thought this was happening at night. Usually the cats do their hunting of quail, partridge, songbirds, squirrels, and pheasant while roosting/sleeping.

i put cayenne pepper on the fences of my property. i put cocoa shells as mulch in the gardens. seems to have eliminated the cat problem.

however, people still walk their dogs and let them crap on my lawn. i should get a bb gun and shoot the owners in the ass. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)
