How to stop cats coming in my yard.

[Anonymous]

If you had 20 plus cats come in your yard and pee and shit (feral) you would do anything to keep them out . You say it not the cat but it is the people next to us that let one cat have kittens .then the kitten as kittens and so on and so on. What should I do ?

Shocked they are coming in a yard with dogs. Feral cats don't come in my yard anymore. Even the squirrels avoid touching the ground in my yard. Do you have small dogs OP?

You are a horrible, evil person.

My old neighbor's cat used to be let out every afternoon and evening. I would see her letting it out and sometimes letting it back in. The cat would come over into my yard and antagonize my dogs by climbing onto the window sill. The cat also left 17 (that is not an exaggeration) piles of shit in my landscaping mulch and among my flowers and shrubs (which were spaced, so we looked like great homeowners with all these visible piles of shit). I also found two headless birds. I scattered mothballs all throughout the landscaping and this seemed to keep the cat away. I don't care if it's toxic. Keep your PET indoors where it belongs!!!!

Good way to go straight to jail for animal cruelty.

that's not cruelty also it is irresponsible for cat owners to let their house cats roam free and also dangerous because they will bring in diseases to the indoors. It should be illegal to have outdoor unattended cats.

ok, but under the actual law, that IS cruelty.

Purposely poisoning ANY domestic animal is animal cruelty! Someone should poison you.

Stupid feral cats carry rabies and aren't anyone's pet. If it is your pet, keep the damn thing inside. Otherwise, if I happen to spill antifreeze or set out rat bait, well.....

well....jail time. dummy.

How the hell do you know that ANYONE has more money than you do? I don't eat organic unless it is just as cheap as the other stuff that is not. I live off of very little money each month. It sucks that your neighbor was not interested in working with you to try and deal with her cats going into your yard, but killing them is never the answer. I hope you walk out into the street one day and get hit by a random car and die. I would wish for a bus, but your family would then get the money after your death and who knows what kind of things you have taught your children about killing animals when it suits you. So random car, hit and run, you die.

Actually, I wouldn't mind dying by a random hit and run. In the meantime, my kids are fed. The cats now stay inside, and life is good. Hope you receive yourself what you wish for others---ill wishing harms the wished far more than anything.

are you really claiming the moral high ground here after admitting (or claiming) to have deliberately poisoned your neighbor's cats because of some insane moral indignation over some vegetables?

you couldn't have tried, say, netting over the veggies? or some other non-lethal approach?

sorry, evil killer. you don't get to tell anyone they are a bad person.

Do you remember the vet who shot the cat with a crossbow? That is a crime...

You do know that squirrels and birds and deer and fox and chipmunks and all the other outdoor critters also shit and pee on your veggies and car as well, right?

that vet actually wasn't charged with a crime (which is horrible). but now she's probably losing her vet license and - for a separate incident - has been charged with drunk driving.

There's no herding cats

Last spring, my mother and I watched a fox drag a dead cat from the neighbor's front yard to a stand of trees in the back (the neighbor's back yard slopes down to a ravine-like area. It's a pretty big yard in back). We regularly see foxes in our neighborhood, have at least one coyote and at least 2 great horned owls. There have been a lot fewer cats roaming our neighborhood! We also don't have a problem with the tom cats spraying (which is different than peeing) on our front porch anymore!
