Cat owners need to keep their cats at home, if they cannot or will not they need not to have cats. My neighbors cat is always on my property, I hate cats. I plan on trapping it and bringing it to the pound.

However it got to your birds other scarier things can too.
Beef up your set up and THEN the birds will be safe.
I shot a cat 2 days ago because it keeps preying upon my chickens and chicks.
They can't get to my birds at all 10x10 chain link with roof and buried skirting.
This led me to believe there were actual losses.
If it cannot get to the birds then perhaps animal control would have been a better option. Live trap it and take it to the pound if they wont come get it.
Chain link is actuallypoor protection against most predators that target chickens. While it is strong, the openings are more than sufficient to allow for predation. Many peopleare unawareof how many predators can squeeze into or reach through the openings and take or injure birds. Also, chicks under 4-6 weeks can get out through the fence, leaving them vulnerable. A simple fix is to use the link for strength and cover it with hardware cloth....at least the lower three feet.They can't get to my birds at all 10x10 chain link with roof and buried skirting.
It has wire cloth on the inside, had my birds in it since they were chicks, so if course they could walk through the chain link and fit through chicken wire, cloth was the only answer.Chain link is actuallypoor protection against most predators that target chickens.
