Trouble with Bengals

[HappyClucker7]

Are bangal cats legal where you live?

They are, but they have to be a certain number of generations from the wild cat.

set up a live trap. I don know exactly what you would bait it with, since they only seem to be coming on the property to kill, but maybe some really smelly tuna fish or anchovies would work. You can also use sensored sprinklers, but I don't know if that would would work in the winter. If you catch them in a live trap, then you can take them to an animal shelter, and hopefully there chipped, they would read the chip and call the owner. Then the owner would have to go through a big hassle to get the cats back, and they will be more constant in that not happening again. Sorry, that must super suck, Avery

I've considered doing this. I don't know if I could get in trouble for doing it though.

I found this to be helpful on another website.

Repellents and Deterrents
While cats may like some strong odors such as fish, other scents repel them. Scatter fresh orange or lemon peels around the yard, or spray areas with a citrus-scented fragrance. Coffee grounds, citronella, eucalyptus and lavender are also not pleasant to cats. Cover flower bed soil around plants with smoothed pebbles to prevent digging. Cover areas such as space beneath a porch with chicken wire or fencing to keep animals out. Cut portions of plastic carpet runners can be placed spiky side up on areas of porches or outdoor furniture if cats have been making themselves at home in your personal space. Commercial cat repellents can also be sprayed around areas cats frequent.

I could try getting a deterrent.

It might be too late for this now but maybe not? But I would have called animal control when this was first happening so that it could have been documented and you would have a record of them being a nuisance and everything that’s happened since then. If you complained enough times the cats probably could have been taken away or at least the owners would be fined maybe. But now since you haven’t documented any of it I’m not sure. But I would try to start documenting now if you can. Better late than never.

It might be too late, but I could call and see if they can do anything.

I don’t think you would get in trouble if they’re on your property.

Yeah I would definitely call! And if you can, start taking pictures or videos of the cats on your property and/or their kills so you can start having some proof.

This may seem kinda gross, but I found this on amazon with pretty good reviews. The problem is, that it may keep the bunnies and birds away too.

No you wouldn't get in trouble, if there on your property, then it basically trespassing right?
I know that people have done it before, it should be fine. Animal control is not a bad idea though!

Oh yeah, they're from Servals. I always switch those two when I try to think of them

Responsible Bengal breeders will only sell cats that are legal as pets.

I'll try calling animal control then, and see if they can do anything. I'll start documenting everything that happens too.
If that doesn't work, then I might just trap them and bring them to a shelter. Hopefully things won't have to come to that though. Honestly, I feel sorry for the cats. It's not their fault that they were bought by irresponsible owners.
