More cat issues...

[ZX9RCAM]

I've mentioned cat problems before, even have one on my driveway camera video on the hood of my truck last week, climbing up the windshield to get on its roof.

So, this morning I opened up the back door only to see a black cat climbing up the fence to get out of my backyard.

I feed birds, so I figure it is hunting them.

How do I keep fucking cats out of my backyard.

Quit feeding the birds? Cats gonna do what cats gonna do.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Good plan.
Quit doing something I enjoy in order to keep the neighborhood cats out of my backyard.

They still climb on my truck, and shit in my flowerbeds.

Seems like I could TELL my neighbors I'm going to let my dog in their backyard.
See how they like it.

raccoon trap a few cans of cat food and a blanket.

Cat enters trap toss blanket over trap. place trap in back of vehicle. Drive 15 miles set trap on ground open door.

repeat as needed till your uncivilized neighbors learn to keep there cats on there property just like any other pet.

Or if you want to risk trouble. An air gun or 22 with silencer and it will go quicker. Just have to dispose of the dead animal over live. And Even as much as I hate cats I don't think I would shoot them unless they were a danger to my animals.

Don't know about The Woodlands, but in Austin it is illegal to let your cats run free.
Try calling animal control.

Cats gonna do what cats do. 15 miles out of town may or may not do it. Be nice to the kitty

How do you determine whose cat it is?

Here they will loan you a trap and get the cats when you call them.

They don't try to catch them themselves. They will catch dogs though.

Correction: You must mean which human the cat owns.

I asked this question before, never heard this answer.
I know dogs can't, but I never have heard that cats can't.

I have a Hav-a-hart trap I used for Raccoons in my attic.
I dispatched them in the method you state (.22 and can), but I really hated doing it. I no longer have any desire to kill animals, but I didn't want them coming back.

I can't vouch for their effectiveness but you could try one of these.

Had an old neighbor lady who fed animals, including a couple of feral cats. Didn’t take me long to get tired of them taking a dump on my driveway. They had to go. I made a “live trap” out of scrap wood and chicken wire. Hauled them off six or seven miles across town - never saw them again.

That is only because they found something better, LOL!

I'm familiar with these, but they are indescriminent.

It's just a shame that these cat lovers don't care enough about their cats to keep them indoors.

Exactly! We lived out in the county so I intentionally took them to a more built up location where the pickens would be better. Also made sure they would’ve had to cross a river and a couple major highways to get back!

A couple weeks later, old neighbor lady told me see hadn’t seen those old cats around. She asked me did I think the coyotes had gotten them. I told her, that’s always a possibility.

Did you take them to the Woodlands?
