My Neighbor's Cats... - Page 4

**fan4ever** · 04-15-2005, 12:41 PM

I need your help.

My neighbor's cats like to come over and crap in my back yard. I have horseshoe pits filled with sand, and a volleyball court filled with the same. These cats use all three as their own personal litter boxes. I've spoken with my neighbor who thinks it's a cat's right to wander wherever they like. I have a dog, but the only way he occassionally helps out is by eating the cat's poop, which gives me even more reason to want the cats to stay out. I can by law trap the cat's on my property, have animal control pick them up, and they will contact the owners to pick up the cats until the third time, when they will put the cats down. I don't want to go this route for a number of reasons, frivelous litigation from my neighbor (they're like that) being among them.

Does anyone know a proven, effective way to keep cat's out of your back yard? I can cover the horseshoe pits, but the volleyball court is way to big to cover. I am not above frightening, shocking, or catapulting the animals, as long as no long term physical effects are inflicted upon the fuzzy little bastards.

P.S. I don't hate cats, just cats using my backyard as a toilet.

I anxiously await the inventiveness of my fellow planeteers.

(I hope this thread was OK to do here...I know some are sensitive to non-football threads. I apologize in advance to those offended.)

Excellent idea. I'll bring a case of beer and be over right after work.

Yea, aren’t they just lovable?

Make sure it is Irish and we can have some boilermakers

Cleanup, asile 7!

or just paint "keep out" into its fur

THAT is beautiful...

But shave it and then paint it.

If you’ve got one crap’n in your yard, and have warned it’s owner to put a stop to it or you will, then go for it.

That’s why I said put the whole trap in a box. Clean up could be pretty disgusting otherwise.

I learned the hard way never to poison a dog just because it won't quit barking. I threw a poisoned hot dog over the fence one day, no more barking, but that was soon replaced by kids crying about their stupid dog

The porcelin saucer insulates the two sides from eachother until the cat closes the loop. Now, the cat's body will probably have some pretty high impedence and it should jump the minute it feels the burn. Now, if it gets stuck there then it might blow the breaker.

Hell, if that's the case, there are a bunch of fence jumping Austrailian Shepherds, German Shepherds, and mixed mutts who will be eating some hamburger and antifreeze this weekend instead of me giving them a few treats and then walking the little buggers home as I normally do.

ok.. here's the solution...

eat Taco Bell and drink Beer all day...

Then when you are really full and more than a little drunk.. trap the cat and put it in a little cage.. then take off your pants.. sit on the cage and shit all over the cat..

That'll teach him AND the owners.!
