Getting rid of the neighbor cats

Oct 29, 2009 143 Replies

One of the neighbors. There's one guy a couple houses away who has owned unfixed males in the past, "rescue" cats. He's a nice guy, and to be honest I don't mind cats on the property (they keep the mice away), but I draw the line at being okay with their various excretions.

I admit to a high degree of skepticism as to the effectiveness of such products.

You may. Put it up on the garage roof in a place where the cat will have a secondary surprise. Just don't call the law at 2 AM when you hear something crashing. The more unpleasant the experience the less likely they are to return. I've rigged mono line to empty bundles of aluminum cans, and that can be a deterrent, too. Unless you forget and get caught on your own petard.

I'll recommend that to my husband. He tried dumping soapy water on it when it was in the trap, but it couldn't take the hint and I saw it back again this week.

It could take him a while to get enough to sprinkle the fence line. I'll brew some tea.

Do it all. Keep it in the trap. Pee on it. Put a piece of wire on the Fi-Shock and jab the cat a few times while in the trap. I bet he won't come back.

Even have Coyote urine.

Dab it on the cat an the program is over for the night.

Put a little food out there laced with generic (cheap) diarrhea medicine? Like shoving a plug in their butt.

Up in NJ we often wondered if the Chinese restaurants used cats in some dishes.

Sounds good. There is no reason to kill anyone's pet. Unless it's a maniac killing people. The animal doesn't know any better. It's the owner's fault.

No see cat! No ask!

And here is the proof, on the web.

have you tried moth balls as a repellent?

the fishing line/can trick is good for 2-legged prowlers,too.

I am at a loss as how to respond to your question without appearing to be engaging in an ad hominum attack.

You're a real piece of human garbage.

Purchase a large amount of chili pepper and sprinkle it over your lawn. They don't like the smell of it.

Dick, that's a classy answer. Well done!

How do they hold the moth down to cut them off?

Same principle. Cheap. Humane. Effective. And sanitary:

People who make a point of harming animals for doing what they do naturally can go f*ck themselves.
