Cat control

You might try testing on yourself first to see if it is really effective.

Perhaps I have problems with cats, and a cat catcher that's non-responsive. I went through that some years ago. I didn't get as far as using poison, although it was next on my list. What worked ended up being great fun. I had a picture of a friend's boat docked in Montauk, Long Island. In those days, some fishermen thought it was cool to hang sharks' heads on the dock pilings after they were done hacking up the animals for whatever purpose. I showed that picture to two uncooperative cat owners and asked if they'd like to see that happen to their beasts. The cops came to my door later that day. We talked, and I assume they also chatted with the cat owners because I never saw those cats leave their property again. Priceless.

non-responsive.

Doug- what you need is a sighthound (*if* you can tolerate dogs). You'd never ever even see another cat on your property. Or bunny. Or possums, raccoons, and squirrels. Anything that moves is game.

If it would attack and viscously cause great bodily harm to it's owner I would gladly buy one for Kanter.

You only need to have a dog dig up your lettuce seedlings once, in order to see that they have no place in a civilized society. Fortunately, we have an old law in this town which says that any animal can be "liquidated" if it's destroying food crops. I've only had to print this law, ask to have a cop meet me at the offending owner's house, and read them the law, in order to stop offenders. It's worked wonderfully (so far).

See, they did the wrong thing calling the police on you. The right, proper, and just thing to do after that would have been to firebomb your house, making sure that you and whatever family you might have never got out alive.

Hey sissy, if you talked to me like that in person i'd squash you like a tabby cat. I used to know a darren in school, we used to knock his books out of his hands dailey.

I've discovered that there are a lot of people just like me in the world. You may meet one eventually, if you keep threatening people.

If you do meet me, and show me your little mind, I'll beat you into the mud and poor cat piss down your throat.

Have a great time, asshole.

LMAO! another sidewalk sissy is heard from. You have a cat piss fetish? What a sick bastard.

And that's not all it may stop -- as if you didn't already know that!

First line of defense, get a dog. As a bonus, you might discover why there are so many dog fans out there.

Then again, if acquiring a dog doesn't appeal to you, talk to the cat's owner about keeping their pet from roaming the neighborhood.

If that proves unsuccessful or a reasonable discussion is not in the offing, you might up the ante by trapping the cat and turning it in to your local animal control facility.

Mostly thought, I would suggest it's futile to punish the animal for it's owner's irresponsibility. It may feel good in the short run, but if the neighboring cat owner is truly blind to the rights of others -- purposely or not -- they'll miss the point entirely and just go out and replace kitty #1 with another.

You got that ass backwards...*you* don't have a place in civilized society.

For what? Trespassing?

What on earth! What rights is the cat infringing on? Why is the neighbour being irresponsible? I assumed the original post was a troll and disregarded it but your response doesn't seem to be in jest.

Don't be too hard on ole DOGless Kanter. He's got real troubles. Here's what his last colonoscopy revealed:

Not keeping your pets off of other peoples' property is irresponsible pet ownership. If you feel your cat needs to experience the outdoors to be happy, then an outdoor enclosure is safest for your cat, best for the local songbirds, and most respectful of your neighbors.

Sorry, to be clear, that's a generic "you", not directed at any one person in particular :)

Even so, it is still presumptuous and rude, not to mention that it advocates cruelty to animals.

Which part is animal cruelty? Increasing your pets' lifespans by keeping them out of traffic, out of the yards of people who will poison or shoot them, and out of fights with other animals who may be diseased, or preventing the the killing of local native fauna?

Sorry, but I do think that people who are not willing to take responsibility for their pets' safety and for their behavior probably just shouldn't have pets.

-- Jennifer, presumptuous :)
