Not to be a smartass, but get a dog, or at least see if you can 'borrow' a
friend's dog.

hehe

You are pre-supposing that these cats can read....

Though that does trigger a memory. When I was a kid, we had two cats. One
day, I came home after playing with a friend's dog and of course, the cats
were sniffing me up and down. Just for a hoot, I barked (yes, like a dog)
and the cats got very alert. Perhaps some doggie's old blanket and a tape
recording of a dog barking.....


Though I do like the sign idea....

Drop a note in each mailbox in your neighborhood, worded something like "A
stray cat is doing such-and-such on my property. The cat will be trapped and
killed within the next 7 days. If you love your cat......". Sign your name
to it. The cops will visit you, but there's not a damned thing they can do
about it. However, the cat will not show up any more, assuming it has a
home.

I did this many years ago, and included a photograph of a dog which was
digging up my entire garden. It worked nicely, although the cops were not
pleased. But, you want the cops to show up. Why? The person who complains to
them will likely be the owner of the pet.* You want the cops to go BACK to
that person and tell them that you sound pretty serious about this.

* Since anyone who lets a dog roam the neighborhood unsupervised is an idiot
(and a sociopath), the owner will probably also be stupid enough to call the
cops, thereby identifying themselves as someone who's breaking the leash
law. Duh.

I went through this same kind of problem and researched and got all
sorts of advice.

Are you sure you are doing the cage correctly? You have to put it in a
place the cats will travel, have the proper size, give the proper bait,
and be patient. Also, what are you going to do with the cat once you
catch it? I assume you did what I did and got the cage from the local
shelter and would send the cat there. Make sure your neighbors don't
see you catching or transporting the cat. Cat owners who allow their
cats to illegally go off their property generally don't like anything
anti-cat and won't do anything even if you, say, put notes in their
mailboxes.

My cage didn't catch all the cats. Mothball and other deterrents
didn't work. I finally found my last resort worked: a BB gun. Just
don't be too close to the cat, as actually injuring one could be
illegal.

You're lucky its only ****. This one house where every time I had finished a
concrete pour a neighbor's cat walked all over it during the night. It could
have walked around it but for some reason it prefers to walk on wet
concrete.

Anyway try vinegar and if you have access to a zoo, lion dung works too.

I have used a device called a Fi-Shock for several bothersome animals. It
is an electrical shocker designed to electrify fences. It can be set up in
all sorts of ways. Running between wires .......... on a garbage can
.......... on a feed dish ....... on a car ....... lots of ways. One lead to
the thing you want to electrify, the other to a ground or ground pad.

It usually takes one hit on the Fi-Shock, and the animal won't come into
throwing distance from where it got shocked. If they pee directly on it,
that is usually about how far away they land on their first leap.

It is hilarious to watch, and does provide some of that revenge factor.

DO NOT let them see you set it up, and be careful not to let them see you
watching them, or they associate it with you, and it doesn't work as well.

Mine cost me about $30 online. It also works great if you have pesky
diggers in your flower beds, raccoons in your garbage, etc. Or you just
want to nail that sucker that's been peeing on your car wheels.

the cat has been caught and brought to the spca.

rent or borow electric fence charger. lay cheap screen on patio and
connect fence charger. not lethal but very effective. try ****ing on

I didn't say it should be killed. I said that the threat should be included
in the warning note as an educational aid. The reason is simple: Some people
do not become good neighbors until they believe their behavior is about to
hit home in a big way. The threat often assists in this belief. It did, in
my case. I had no intention of killing the neighbor's dog, although if I
lived out in the sticks, I would have, if the dog was disturbing/destroying
any part of a food garden. In that case, it is LEGAL to kill an animal,
according to NY State law.



Besides,he specified "short of catching it".

I probably got lucky just once, but my cat set foot in my vegetable garden a
few times and was treated to a quick shower with a cold hose. After that, it
was as if there was an invisible fence around the plot. Even if I wasn't out
there working, she'd walk around it, never through it. They *are* able to
learn what's off limits, unlike dogs, which are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
It might be possible to train the offending cat, even if it's not yours. I
like the cayenne pepper idea.

Depends on the law where he lives. In many states (like NY), it is LEGAL to
kill an animal which is destroying food crops, even if "crops" refers to a
small vegetable garden. This is NOT to suggest that it would be safe or
smart to shoot anything in a typical neighborhood. It almost never is,
unless you're dealing with a dog attack in progress. But in rural areas,
quite a few animals, including dogs, end up like Jimmy Hoffa.

Well, that's where we differ, and I'm not alone in this regard. However, I
agree with your pipe soldering advice, which has worked nicely thus far, at
least on the practice chunks, clamped in a vise. Not a speck of water has
leaked out of those pieces. Of course, they were never used to actually
conduct water to begin with, but that's just a detail. :-)

Actually, I think the best breed of dog is a mix of pit bull and collie.

Now that repeals, but you will need a long term plan, like get rid of

Drop a note in each mailbox in your neighborhood, worded something
like "A stray cat is doing such-and-such on my property. The cat will

If you are trapping it,why must you kill it? Why not just take it to the
local animal control services?

I think that's the point, you will catch the cat, and turn it over.
Providing no information of who you think it belongs too. Then the
animal control services will kill the cat.

The note never said the cat was going to be killed by the neighbor,
just stating a possible outcome for not keeping your cat indoors.

Your reaction sounds like same as the offending neighbor, and that's
why the cops might be callled, and you need your story prepared for
their visit.


If it is owned by someone,and tagged,it is not a "stray cat".

stray: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...onary&va=stray

Actually, though, it's dog owners I have a problem with. Very odd mind

What sort of sick individual takes a pet, on a leash, off their own
property, stops to let it crap on someone else's property, and then acts
indignant when told you clean it up?

Not sick, just selfish and thoughtless.

Yes, and they should be forced to eat their dog's **** if they won't
clean it up immediately after deposit.

Beer for you....

I accept, thank you.

I thought I was the only one who saw things as they actually are.

No. I despise dog ****, including that of my own dogs, and I clean up
their **** in the back yard regularly. Few things **** me off more
than to see someone else's dog **** in my front yard. I also walk the
two dogs in our city neighborhoods and parks every day for a couple of
miles, which translates to lots of poop opportunities, and I bring AT
LEAST 2 poop bags with me. I like the blue newspaper bags the best.
