You said you mother keeps bring home large fowl. So I'm guessing you live with your Mom. Just curious what she thinks you should do about the cat situation?


Personal question removed.

Go & buy yourself a live trap. Use wet cat food or a can of tuna as bait. Catch it and take it to the animal shelter. Tell them you've checked with all of your neighbors, no one claims it and it's killing your chickens.

I have been known to live trap them and spray them with a mix of 1 ounce of skunk musk 15 ounces of peanut oil normally after spraying them the first time the owner keeps them up if not they go to the pound

We use a paintball gun to keep the unwanted cats from our yard. They get hit a few times and realize that our yard is no fun. Honestly I don't understand these people who think it's ok to let their cats run free. As far as I am concerned they are now feral cats not pets. They piss and crap in MY yard! I will not have that. I have a cat and love her, but she is kept inside where she belongs. Some of the cats I shoot are my friends cats and she knows it. I know it's not that cats fault it's owners don't take care of them, but I will have no part of them.

No it's fully roofed lol. It's not really residential. No sidewalks, one store, and lots of desert. Small place, North Edwards is. It's good here cuz alot of other towns are close by and such. My birds have access to water, food, nest boxes, all through a door I closed last night. And no cat

But I do wanna make sure it keeps away, from my property. If I have to fire a warning shot every night so be it, to scare away any cat, or anything else.

I have seen the cat in the coop several times. I have never seen an owl in there or a hawk.

And my dad! She just wants to get rid of it.

So tuna eh? I really think I'd be helping the cat out anyways if I trapped it and took it to a shelter, new owners who care and will give it alot of love would be nice for the cat. It's not a bad looking cat either. Ofcourse I like the unique stripey patterned kitties, you know with light grey stripes

And snow white fur.


But I may not, because ever since I fired the shot just to make noise, I haven't seen the cat out. Maybe the neighbors took a hint? Haha it was loud, and things tend to echo on the side of NE that I live on. I heard dogs barking on other streets!

And the part where the chickens sleep has a roof it is covered. The area where they come out to eat and drink isn't covered. Where they are used to be a garden area, two halfs with a stone path in the middle. We took out the stones and turned one side into a sleep place, the other into nest boxes and eating.

Cats are like ninjas though they can go through the weirdest spaces...
