Get rid of cats!

[Charles]

Well my problem is now that our large dog has died, the neighborhood cats
have taken a likening to my yard. Always coming up in it now crapping on the
lawn, digging in my trash, peeing on my alloy rims, sliding down my hoods,
and just generally having fun pissing me off. Have tried some stuff from
Petstore that claimed they wouldn't go near it, but that didn't work. They
are starting to get out of control now. They used to run when I would make
noises are charge at them. Now I charged at one and it just sat there
looking at me. I nailed his furry a*! with a can and he took off. Animal
control won't do anything but put out trap in my yard and make me sign a
paper saying that I take full responsibility for anything that happens to
the cats. HELP!!!!!

Replace the dog

A motion sensor activated water sprinkler might help.

Buy your own Havahart trap, some cans of cat food, and a BB pistol (the pump
type). Type up an agreement which says you're not responsible for what
happens to these cats, sign it, and shoot them in the back of the head once
they're in the trap.

It may work.
Can I try it with you first ?

It's already been tried. A BB can't penetrate that blockhead of
Kanter's. Well one did once. A good shot put a BB through his ear.
It's still rolling around in there.

When I was a kid I remember dad putting a few in a burlap bag with a rock
and throwing them in the creek. Somebody complained so he started shooting
them with a shotgun. For the past 12 years we've had two Dalmations. In
their first year they tasted blood - a youg wild rabbit. Ever since then no
cat (or small dog) has been safe in our yard. They grab them by the back of
the neck and shake the sh&% out of them. We had to put the one dog down a
few months ago and the second one is slowing down - but she can still go get
them.
