Re: cat problem ....PLEASE HELP !!??

"tmtresh" in news: [e-mail]:

someone in your area has bred cat-eating squirrels? :-)

[tmtresh]

Don't know, but it is quite funny. None of them eat the other, but chase nontheless (maybe it has something to do with territory). I cheer when the squirrel gets the better of the cat.

A few years ago our city decided to do something about the cat problem.... live traps etc for anyone complaining - then the mice moved in. Cat poops ok as long as it contains mice tails.

take care Liz

Hey! Look what "tmtresh" wrote :

Do an internet search for "Scarecrow Sprinkler" - this seems to be a good solution although you don't define what 'expensive' is.

Here is one link - I'm sure that there are others....

The OP had already mentioned that she has tried talking to the neighbor in the past.

When I lived in the Redwoods I had an unlimited supply of twigs. I stuck them in freshly dug beds close enough together that the cats couldn't squat, this does take a lot of twigs though

I put evergreen/fir branches down in the garden - the cats won't go near them since they get a nose/paw/butt full of prickly needles. I get them free from our Christmas tree recycling park, but if you have evergreen trees you can just trim some branches off. This is the only thing that has worked for me.

Use Araucaria branches and NO ONE (including me) will go near them!!

I'd want a herd of Maine Coon Cats to eat the squirrels.. man I hate squirrels like y'all seem to hate cats LOL

A shotgun seems to work well.

What is an "OP"? I know I've asked before, but if it was answered, I missed it. I keep seeing it used and it's buggin' me.. what's it stand for/ mean?

And then take a long shovel and flip the cat turds back over the fence. Extra points if you can get them in an open window... Or stuck to the owner's walls.
