Well guys I have a problem with neighbor cats and other random cats getting on my truck and dd civic, I park under a carport. I have noticed scratches and scuffs in the paint as the slide down a sometimes dusty hood. Also the Damn things are Spraying! Getting their nasty **** on my wheels/tires, even in THE bed of my truck!! I am totally Fed up with all of this.

Now I have thought of calling the local animal control. Don't know how good that would do me.

I have shot a few of them with my pellet gun. Only for them to return days later. Shot one one night late and damn thing ran strait to its owners house and started howling and making weird noises. I went inside and went to sleep and could still hear it lol. (our houses are like 20 feet apart)

Get one of them trap cages and catch them and deport them 5 miles down the road across our river dam. That sounds like it would work and have less potential to get me in trouble.

Well there is 3 choices.
I will gladly take ANY other suggestions please!!

 

Don't shoot them...We have cats and other animals around our shop and they set off alarms when in the area...We set up a few traps with food....They get REALLY pissed when trapped, but they still eat the food, drop them off 5 -10 miles down the road or to the nearest tailor park, they get fed and you get rid of them...err body wins

 

This thread reminded me of this:

E-mails from an *******

 

shoot them

 

buy a pit bull and leave it chained up near said truck

 

@smokeshow, man that is messed up! I hope that's not real. Anyways I do have one of those bear trap Type of traps lol. I would never use it in a neighborhood on a cat lol

 

Im having the same problem. Traping them and taking them to the pound is ideal, but itsmy nieghbors cat and im good friends with him. Ive told him about it and, ***** still happening, taking matters into my own hands would be a mistake, because i hate cats more then anything.

 

2 words, super soaker. Always does it for me.

I let my cats enjoy my vehicles now. I like having intact wiring on my vehicles since they are keeping the baddies away.

 

Bowls of antifreeze might work too .

If they can't stay off the cars , then they deserve lead poisoning .

 

Start with animal control...if they belong to a neighbor you're going to get yourself into legal trouble by trapping/shooting/deporting/poisoning them. Let the owner deal with trying to get them back. If they are just strays, then it becomes animal control's problem.
